Thanks for choosing ITP for your Russian twin needs. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing business. I wish my dad would have bought me a set of Russian twins when I was a kid. Love the write up very creative and love the picture too.
I finished the restification of my younger son's #'s matching 1928 hex Tula a week or so ago, but today we finally got some great afternoon light so I could take a picture!
The front hand guard had some repair work I didn't discover until I had degreased and stripped it. It is a smooth quality repair, and seems sound. I found a few specks of rust on the outside of the barrel underneath the hand guards, but it cleaned up with oil and steel wool.
I think it looks sexy. My son seems pleased. They can't wait to go shooting.
