Today Bryan came home with a Mosin Nagant as a surprise for me. It is beautiful, and it looks as if it were manufactured yesterday, but it was made in 1941. Yes, it's taller (and older) than I am.

I am so jealous. I tried to buy one at Cabela’s on Friday, but they sold out in 15 minutes. A local gun shop is supposed to get some in next week. I’m hoping to get one then. (Fingers crossed.)

Sigh, another cultist...

But on the other hand, maybe you can be out very own Lyudmila Pavlichenko. She only got 309 Nazis, so your work is cut out for you.

PS
Never mount the bayonet "in" the house.
Do not ask me why. ☺

Also, make sure the barrel is clear and clean of cosmoline before shooting it.
These old guns have been packed away in grease for ages.
