From their point of view it was if we get attacked, we want the missiles to retaliate, if you strike down Russia's missile sites, it would be ten times easier to take down Moscow then without the threat of retaliation. It sort of make sense tactically, plus no one needs New York or D.C. anyway...
So I bought two Mosin Nagant M38's...for the low low price of $539.98 >_> but I made sure they were more special then just a standard refurb. Going through a rack of 40+ M38's I got to choose two very well I guess unique M38's for refurbs. One is a 1941 (low wall/stepped tangs/nicely machined) and the other is a 1943 (heavily machined). I only have the 41 as the 43 is on layaway (which I'll be getting tomorrow hopefully).
So I'll let the pictures do talking tomorrow since I could go into heavy detail but I would rather do it with pictures, expect pics around 2 pm EST.

1941 Izhevsk M38
Late/post war stock (stock made for stepped tangs so no gap in the wood)
Photoshoop brightener
And matching numbers..they look almost original (iffy on the buttplate)

Re: Modacity shooters' thread
I've seen Soviet M44's (war-time and post war) time to time but $300 is a joke here in the U.S. I still have ONE more M38 I need to show and I'm going to go get it tomorrow.
