Ah, that's right. I needed some cash. The only reason I ever sell a gun, really.
It's been a while since I've owned a centerfire rifle, and I got my new to me 92 year old rifle today. (my quest for an AR is on hold until prices go back into the sane range, and I've found out the levergun I really, really want is really, really scarce)
This Mosin will stay in my hands until I die. Or...... until I have another Mosin to replace it. It's a 1921 hex reciever Dragoon model. Wood is ugly, metal is not much prettier, came with none of the usual extra bits, but hey, times are crazy and $99 guns fully loaded just aren't happening right now. I even found a box of ammo for it at my LGS. I was looking for a run of the mill 91/30 to cut down, but I'm thinking this rifle is too rare-ish to do that too. Already found a dissasembled and sporterized rifle a few hours away I'll save the cutting for.
This Dragoon just may end up being my new (ugly) 'ol trusty, or elk hunter. What feels better than a new gun? I'm drawing a blank!
