More Mosin Nagant stuff

Stopped by Rhine Group to buy some mil-surplus 7.62x54R, and when I told them it was for an M44, Tom almost tripped over himself going to get something from the back room. He came back with a 1955 Polish M44- it looks like it has never been out of the original cosmoline since leaving the factory. The bluing is perfect, the bore is shiny (other than the slime), the bolt is smooth- no catching, and the cosmoline is still grease, not dried at all. I asked how much, he shot me a price then laughed- that one he is keeping. Dang, because the price he shot me was too low to resist.....
