Nice rifle...
As a military history buff I like the Russian capture rifles better than "unissued" rifles captured at the depots at the end of the war. The RC Mauser rifles (and other military use weapons) have both a national and personal history that earns them a special respect (only 5% of their former owners returned home alive). I'm fortunate to be able to continue the history...which is why I never modify or refinish my C&R weapons...
