I just ordered one of these for my Dad for Christmas. He enjoyed shooting mine, so I decided to get him one.

Best present ever.

It's the least I can do since he got me involved in the shooting sports when I was 10-11. He taught me safety and to respect a firearm. And when I took my hunter safety course when I was 12 or 13, I knew more about firearms than most adults taking the class.

All because of Dad.

Sounds like you have a good dad, and you are a good son. Just took my dad to the range the second time, even tho we only stayed a little bit, but it was good time. He would definitely like the mosin.

Sounds like a very good dad ... and a good son, too!

Did you opt for any special requests (hex, manufacturer, etc)?

G O B · Dec 17, 2014

My kids just give me a card.
Can I adopt you?

Only I opted for was for it to be hand picked.

Cool present. He needs 2 boxes wrapped up, one for the gun and the other for the accessories and ammo! you do have ammo for him right?

Yeah ... no kidding!

In fairness, I usually buy myself my own presents from the family. The money comes from the same place anyway, I get what I really want, and they don't have to try to figure out which ugly sweater to get me, etc.

And the beauty part is that I can get something *really* nice with only a fleeting roll of the eyes, instead of the usual, "Why do you need THAT?!" comment.

I have more than a full tin of ammo for myself that I will pull out of.

I'm thinking of putting one round in a pen box, wrapping it up and giving it to him first. When he looks confused, I'll had him the rifle.

Be sure to have someone there with a camera.

Sounds like you should buy a couple more spam cans then.

I gave one to my dad last Christmas. On the box I wrote
"To: Dad"
"From: Commissar Claus"
Your dad will love his gift.

frdfandc · Dec 23, 2014

Just showed up today. Have some cleaning to do to it, but overall, it's in very good condition.

Alphabrew · Dec 23, 2014

Looks nice, post war stock. Got any receiver pics?

frdfandc · Dec 23, 2014

I will get some more up tonight before I wrap it.

frdfandc · Dec 24, 2014

Here is a quick pic of the arsenal marks on the receiver. Side note is the numbers on the bolt, mag plate, butt plate and receiver match.

JamesH · Dec 25, 2014

How are the import marks?

You can see them on the left side of the receiver in the pic above your post.
