I was digging around in my goodies today and found 50 factory PPU rounds, 49 OF PPU brass and 10 OF S&B brass. :d I do have lots of surplus ammo and some GRAF brass, and might have more if I dig a bit deeper.

Now I guess I can load up some rounds for my 28/30 and M39's that sit there, patiently waiting for some sunlight.

The 28/30 has a serialed rear SAKO sight, and a lone SAKO emblem inside a gear on the top of the barrel, nothing else. A re-stamped SA in the box on the left side, along with sn 100047, and sn S109658 on the right side. It is on a 1917 Sestroryetsk receiver.

One M39 is dated 1968 on the barrel. Not sure about the other one, as I don't have it here with me.

Edit: "Lucky Pierre" comes from a little story in a school reader from back in the 50's. :)
