NEW GUN DAY!!! Not what you were thinking huh? Or was it? ;)
I've had my eye on this one for a while. Today I finally bought it. It's a 1938 Mosin Nagant. A Russian made battle rifle. I'm going to be filming my PIF video with it. But first I have to clean off all of the cosmoline (a slimy substance used to preserve it in storage)
I dare Santa to try to break into my house ;D
I have to say, I'm pretty excited about this one.

Man, a 1938 Russian rifle ... probably saw some military action in the 80s. It's really 1838's technology!
in Russia, rifle shoots you!
I'm here all week, try the veal.
Russian bolt.. that will still function after all of us are dead and gone. Very cool gun you got there.
Nice, first came across them in the game 'Mafia', in the sniper mission.
The Box of Truth website has a page on de-cosmo-thingy-ing old rifles, don't have the link handy sorry.
Thanks guys. I'm quite happy about getting it. I stared at it for a while before I broke it down for cleaning.

I'm working on it right now. I'm having to type with one finger because the rest are coated in cosmoline.
