Things Aaron does when he gets bored
"What," I can hear you saying "...in the blue blazes is THIS?!?"
It's a 1952-vintage Polish-made M44 Mosin-Nagant complete with folding bayonet, fitted with a first-generation Bushnell red-dot sight on a scope mount from jmeckscopemounts.com.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised and the carbine was just SITTING THERE. Also, I'm hoping that this will enable my aging eyes to still work okay with this little old Pole.
If the rain lets up today I might see if I can get this puppy dialed in.
