I rode my Stingray bike with ape hangers downtown to Sears when I was 12 yo. I bought a Russian 7.62x51 and a box of shells for $12. I rode home across downtown with it across my handlebars. Nobody said a peep. Course that was in 1963.
Man I miss that country. Can you remember "The USA"?
I'm glad my dad didn't have to watch this.
Russian 7.62x51 wasn’t a thing you could buy in the US in 1963. :P
Perhaps you meant that you bought a Russian Mosin in 7.62x54R?
