Took a chance on a $260 Mosin at auction with a troubling amount of what turned out to be just surface rust. Steel wool took the rust off to reveal this 100 year old beauty. Marked SA on the receiver.

nice man, $260 is a good deal but I still remember when RTI was selling crates of 10 for $1000. Hopefully it lasts you another 100 years despite corrosive primed 54R.

Hey thanks friend. Dang those would have been the days. I definitely wouldn’t mind having a crate of Mosins sitting in the basement.
