Finally have something more vintage than the pistol I bought brand new in 2008.
Went shooting with the FIL on Saturday. Brought up a box of prvi partisan .303 British (that I bought a few months back) so that we could shoot a rifle he has. We shot 38 rounds through it. His eyes aren't what they used to be. When we got done shooting I asked him if he still wanted to take it home. Said ask my MIL to see if she agrees since he got it from her dad who used to hunt with it. We ask her and she suggests giving it to her brother (who might not shoot), her nephew (who already bought one of his own), or her son (who isn't in to guns, has thrown a chair at his wife, who lives in Florida, and in his own words has no relationship with his dad). In other words, anyone but me. FIL later pulled me aside and gave it to me. She isn't going to find out anyway and it was given to him in the first place. I am going to get my wife to shoot it at least once.
I know I've posted these pictures somewhere once but can't find where. Will have to take more pics later. Of some of the details. Lots of random stamp marks that I would like to decipher.
Need to clean it up some. Was a little gummy sliding the bolt. Will probably use some Ballistol on it.
