Nice looking rifle! It looks to me like you may have a post-war stock on there, as they tended to try to conserve materials and time by omitting the metal from the rear sling escutcheons and the upper half of the front escutcheons on our war-time rifles. Mine is also a 1943, made at the Izhevsk armory. I'm working on sanding and staining it tonight, actually. Hoping it will look like yours when it's done!
Very nice, good sir. I love surplus rifles. You should look into Lee-Enfield rifles. I have an Ishapore Enfield No. I Mk. III SMLE. It saw action in one of the World Wars (the seller wasn't entirely certain of it's history) but it was definitely used in a war. It has the stamp of it's platoon on the stock. But besides all that, it is absolutely the smoothest bolt-action surplus rifle I have ever fired.
I have a list of surplus wood and steel that I would like to get... theLee Enfield is one of them. I am going to look at an 8mm Mauser... it felt good in my hands, I kind of wish I had scooped it up.
they got another one called the zeta labs, also arent those mosin nagants fun and cheap the recoil pu22Y haha jk but yeah you plan on making anymore firearm vids
I held the rifle tight into my shoulder, expecting to get a bruise, but the recoil was not as bad as I thought. Then on the second round, I let the rifle push me back, and I sure don't need to do that... This rifle is going to be a ton of fun I can already tell.
@caseofwoopass there are hex receiver 91/30's though.

Do you need any kind of license for this surplus rifle?

The shop did a background check on me, and that was it.

Might I suggest that you lean forward a bit when you fire. I helps greatly with recoil control.

Yeah, that's weird, it almost looks like you're green-screening these shots, because the body shots look nearly devoid of color
