Took a chance on a $260 Mosin at auction with a troubling amount of what turned out to be just surface rust. Steel wool took the rust off to reveal this 100 year old beauty. Marked SA on the receiver.

Wow, what a find! That's a beautiful gun. How do you find out about these auctions?

It was just a local auction house. They don’t usually do rifles, this was an exception. It’s usually store returns, furniture, etc. Took a chance on this and it paid off!
