Well, I finally rec'd my 1926 Izhevsk Arsenal Dragoon. It's sloppily covered in years of lacquer, even on the metal in some places - but, I'll get it cleaned up when I have time. The rifle itself is in almost new condition. All the numbers match and the bore is pristine.
I disassembled it, removed all the cosmoline and shot it a few days ago. Wow! I'm pretty happy. I haven't rung it out on paper, but I was easily able to knock down 4" by 6" plastic cartridge boxes offhand at 100 yards with some cheap Wolf ammo.
