No pics of the targets, but here's a couple from an unsuccessful coyote hunt with it that evening (was camping all weekend).

WOLVERINES!!!!

What year and arsenal is it? Surplus or commercial ammo?

1944 Izhevsk... not sure on the ammo. Came in a brown paper box of 20 with no printed labels or logos, copper washed casing, and shot dirty as hell, so I believe it was surplus... but this is my first and only gun that shoots surp. so I don't really know how to ID it.

OH NOS! YOUR GUN IS GETTING DIRTY!

I like em dirty

Nice. We have an M38 and a M91/30. The M38 kicks less then the M91/30 but damn does it spit fire LOL. Your ammo sounds like the Russian milsurp I have, only I wouldn't call it dirty compared to some of the stuff I've shot

If you ever want a cheap refinish on the stock - strip the holy living crap outta it and make sure it is dry (I used brakleen IIRC) and then scuff up the wood a little. They have rattle cans of truck bed liner for less then 10 bucks that makes a fairly durable, removable finish on the stock. There is black, gray, brown, and white. And yes, I know they make this stuff called duracoat, but it isn't as dura-ble and doesn't have the non-slip texture of bedliner.
