I just picked up my first Mosin today. It's an M44 that I ordered online for $200 and paid an extra $10 for a hand pick best of five. This is my first military surplus rifle, so I didn't know what to expect.
I noticed that there are some serious dings in the wood stock. More than a few. There is no metal around the slots for the rear sling attachment.
I was expecting it to be in better shape since I paid the extra $10 for a hand pick. They advertise them to be arsenally refinished to excellent condition. What do you guys think? Would you expect the wood to be in better shape?
