Picked up a really decent MN 91/30 at the local pawn shop today. I was buying a Ruger 30-06 I had on layaway and spied this one. Sling and bayonet was
included, no oil can. It has a minor stock repair that is hidden by the lower sling belt. I'll post pictures soon.

Almost 30 days to the day that I picked up my first MN91/30 and I've bought another. This is a pleasant disease. I stopped into the local pawn shop on the
way home from work yesterday and the owner's wife says "Aren't you the guy who likes those Russian guns?" "Well yes" says I.
"Well we got one for sale" she says. "Not anymore" I say. Paid the same as last time, no bayonet but it came with a nice carrying case.
This one's a 1942 Ishevsk in super clean shape, all numbers match and the import autopen is very discrete. Wood is unscathed and only slightly lighter than
my other one.
I will call it Dur!

That is my favorite rifle. Mine is very accurate and very easy to break down.
Great nations are never impoverished by private, though they sometimes are by public prodigality and misconduct. The whole, or almost the whole public revenue,
is in most countries employed in maintaining unproductive hands... Such people, as they them-selves produce nothing, are all maintained by the produce of other
men's labour... Those unproductive hands, who should be maintained by a part only of the spare revenue of the people, may consume so great a share of their
whole revenue, and thereby oblige so great a number to encroach upon their capitals, upon the funds destined for the maintenance of productive labour, that all
the frugality and good conduct of individuals may not be able to compensate the waste and degradation of produce occasioned by this violent and forced
encroachment.
