Too bad that stock got sanded. Looks like it's still a pretty decent example of a pre-war issue though. Still shoots straight I take it?

I will try to answer that question this weekend. In the process of setting up a decent range on my property, just need to find the direction that contains the least amount of neighbors in the background
then put a big pile of dirt there.

Does it shoot straight?
I think I have a weak trigger spring and/or a worn sear. I fired five rounds, three of these had a nice short trigger drag with a slight catch before it fired while the other two fired as soon as I put a little pressure on the trigger. As the attached image shows, 3 rounds made one nice slightly enlarged hole while two strayed a bit. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this thing does, indeed, shoot straight. The two strays were a result of the unexpectedly short trigger pulls. This was with surplus ammunition fired at 100' just to make sure I was at least somewhere on the paper.

I'd say a little trigger work and you have a good shooter to work with. You shouldn't have any problems finding parts either. I'd go hunt some down for you but I'm at work and that severely limits the gun/parts shopping I can do.

That is an unusual amout of proofmark stampings but then again i have seen a few mosin's with stampings all over the place; my guess is VODKA was being passed around during this process...

You should see my '42. Parts all mismatched, gotta be at least 30 seemingly random stamps all over the gun. It's like they were throwing stamps from 20 feet and scored a point if it made the right mark.
