Just picked mine up this morning. It's my first milsurp so I have no idea what I'm looking at. The numbers I could find match though and there's a triangle and what looks like the letters N P carved into the wood at the receiver.

probably the ugliest ones left in country
They do come out the front hole.Ugly is ok as long as the bullets come out the front.
Just make sure you get all that cosmoline out. It's a bitch but it will make a bigger mess if you don't. It will be oozing out of the stock for some time.Just picked mine up this morning.

I'll probably try the garbage bag method. Only heat gun I've got is the wife's hair dryer.
What does everyone use on milsurps for lube and corrosion protection? I usually use FrogLube on everything. There's a couple issues with that though - it tends to get gummy over time and it doesn't play well with petroleum based stuff. I would imagine cosmoline will be seeping out of this thing for years to come so I don't think FrogLube is going to be a great choice.
