Nice to finally see some life in that wood. Good job so far.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

I had a nagant. The full metal jacket rounds really are armor piercing. I shot through an 8 in tree but not quite in th center. Cheap as dirt to.
