hey everyone, i finally got one! a Model 91/30. this is the first gun ive ever owned personally and may i say it is the prettiest thang ive yet to see. i got it from aim(was the last one, i think) and it has a sexy dark patina finish with hardly any scratches or marks, much better than some of the others i've seen on the internet. i'll definately try and get a few pictures of it as soon as i can! but i'm not here to brag, i'm here to get a few questions answered. here we go:
1. how do i decock this !!!! thing? i dont like dry firing and I really dont want to unload the rifle and then pull the trigger.
2. what the hell is up with this safety? you got to be arnold schwarzenegger just to activate it! theres got to be an easier way to do this...
3. does dry firing hurt the gun in any way? im a bit reluctant to keep doing this as im afraid it might bring harm to my little piece of history.
thats it i guess, tell me what else you think i should know. i havent fired it yet, mainly because i dont have any ammunition yet, but its on its way. anyway, I look at this rifle more as a piece of art than anything else. I just want to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible before i arm myself with the rifle.
Thanks
