I'm pretty glad to have gotten this. Everything on the exterior looks better than any one i've seen. My one question/concern is the surface and rifling in the barrel. It seems rather crude and rough. It looked really bad at first, but after cleaning out packing grease from the barrel it looked at lot better . Is this just how all of them are, or will this become polished after firing some rounds, or is this something i can trade in for a different one?
yeah the rifling looks at about 60/70 percent there. The numbers match mine up to a 1943 Tula made Russian Nagant with no metal in back sling slit (signifying budget cuts during the WWII). square stamp with diagonal through it, means it was refurbished in Yugoslavia I believe. Russian Letters "CN" stamped above star and arrow show that mine was an ex sniper? does anyone know more about identifying the ex dragoons/ ex snipers. theres 3 holes in the receiver (scope mount) that have been plugged off with metal

I found the same thing after cleaning mine up. Will run some steel wool plugs or something. I suspect they fired the rifle after re-build, then just crammed a bunch of cosmoline down the bore rather than clean it. Lands look fine, grooves are 'rough'.
Yes.Going to be in the Portland area any time soon?
