Bought my first rifle yesterday

[Viggen]

Figured it was about time. I was set on a rifle used during either World War. A Lee Enfield would have been my first choice. Ended up with a 1944 Mosin-Nagant M44 carbine.

 

No pictures yet because I forgot to take one.

Hopefully when I come home after I PCS, Mass won't throw a fit about the bayonet.

 

Maggie used one?

a bit blurry but you can see it enough to identify it.

and here is mine after I refinished it last year.
