Picked up this one from another collector and it came today. It has definitely been there and done that. Good bore and fantastic trigger. The stock is a prewar Izhevsk with no repairs that I see at a glance. The pattern in the wood is appealing for sure. I've seen similar patterns on stocks that spent time wrapped in paper and tied up with string. Maybe something similar here? The barrel and receiver have blued-over pitting on just about every exposed surface and had a lot buffed out during tefurb.
Enjoy the photos.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

That's the kind of ex-Dragoon that appeals to me. Cool stock too. Congratulations on a great find.
