Extremely fun to shoot. Shoots well. Hitting targets at 100 plus yards. Shoot's better with the bayonet out. Crazy Russian engineers. Barrel and rifling is clean. I put maybe 100 rounds through. Cleaned after corrosive ammunition.
I have maybe 45 rounds of non-corrosive With stripper clips
I put the little canvas buttstop bag thing on there to keep it from leaving my shoulder black and blue. Kicks like a 12 gauge.
