It certainly doesn't feel like any other rifle I've held before, and I really like that. Its chunky, its got some heft.
I also like the obvious wear and tear on the stock, its been around the block, that's exactly the 'character' I was looking for from the CMP.
First of many hopefully.

That's sweet. Definitely has a something about it that a new rifle can't even come close to. Enjoy!

Nice rifle, enjoy! One day I hope to get one. Second best semi rifle of the ww2, after SVT40 of course
