629-1. Purchased it new in 1983 if I remember correctly. Non pined barrel and chambers are not recessed like the very first ones. Had it tapped back in the 90’s for a red dot and might be putting on a new style one soon. Burris fast fire 3’s are going pretty cheap these days and I know that I can hi...

It was all written in Russian and I made some flippant remarks about them to speak English. Then all of a sudden My login didn’t wo...
