I have Russian capture parts from a parts kit for the bolt and recoil spring so I shoot it with the mismatched parts. I don't want to risk breaking a numbered part since the gun is all matched numbered. I figure you can't ruin the receiver and barrel shooting factory 115g rounds.

The gun was in the attic of a house since the vet brought it back so it was left alone for all those long years and in the exact configuration from the battle field. The sling was pretty dried out so I treated it with Connolly's Hide care but it is still not right. Too much high heat over the years which will never bring the leather back.
