Thanks for the hearty welcomes. A Garand would have knocked my shoulder back into joint, and a Lee Enfield would still be here for my great-grandchildren to shoot, but this new baby is one of Dan's Mosin Nagants. A nice 1939 Izhevsk. I've been on an Eastern Bloc tear lately. Sturdy weapons for simple shooters, one of which I am. Now I've got my eye on a Finn 39, but my favorite rifle is my newest one, of course.
