Bought my third Nagant today but paid a bit more than $79 for this one. 1922 hex receiver Tula with matching numbers including the bayonet this time and mostly Tula parts. Cost $119 which seems typical for the hex recievers. This one also has the brass fittings. Will probably leave this one pretty much alone. Will clean the stock up but am not going to sand this one down. I've come to the conclusion there is only so much you can do to improve the looks of these stocks so I'm not even going to try with this one. Will probably remove the varnish though and after getting the cosmolineicon out may re-varnish it, or not, depends what it looks like.

Was a bit disappointed at the gun show. Not many guys with Nagants, most were over priced. One guy was selling round receiver war rifles for $99 which isn't terrible but I saw one as high as $300 and it was just a common round receiver rifle. One guy was selling full cases of 20 hex receivers for $2000. Seemed pretty pricey for a full case at $100 each.

Two repro sniper rifles, no originals. Half a dozen Finnishicon rifles, mostly in the $300+ range.
