Had this on layaway for a couple of months until I got the 37 up and running. This is my "last" rifle.....it finishes my WW2 collection save France, which I have no interest in getting. By "last" I may get a Krag some day down the road, but I'm in no hurry.
1922 ex-dragoon, rearsenaled to 91/30 standards, stamped matching, one line out on floor plate. ABSOLUTELY covered in cosmoline inside and out. "Recent" import with new serial number which I'll cover with cold blue. Don't have the strength to clean it now...will take several days. When I put it on layaway, I had them run a patch down the bore as it was filled with cosmo. Looked like the rifle took a 30 caliber crap afterwards. Near perfect bore. Have bayonet, sling, and tool kit. Debating whether on putting a Finn trigger spring on it, but I'll rarely shoot it.
This is an Izhevsk, right?
