Well, what can I say Im a sucker for mil surp rifles, and so I recently acquired a type 53 carbine. Stock is more beat up then my 91/30 was but its not terrible. The receiver, barrel and all the metal parts are pristine. the only thing that concerns me is the rear receiver screw ( under the bolt) is missing. Do you think its safe that way or should I acquire a spare screw and install it?

thanks
