Forgot I had this, forgot who sold it to me, but I might have found this one here on the board, lost the dam bound book in the move, missplaced it anyway. 1944 Tula M44 refurb, nice bore, the shellac is coming apart, pretty much like any other refurb M44 except for the Tula star on it. No idea how this one shoots as I don't think I ever fired it. Older Aztec import, the sling is one of mine, wartime sling I bought back in the 90's for about a buck each. Nice little carbine, I don't think it saw much use.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
