Castle Argghhh! Homeless Shelter

We are, you know.

Homeless kitties, homeless puppies, the occasional itinerant Denizen.  We shelter them all.

And homeless veterans, too.  We actually shelter a lot of homeless vets. Those who served, many long and hard and were put up wet, find their way here, to be properly sheltered, fed, and cared for.

One such homeless vet showed up yesterday, begging to be allowed to stay until his family could accommodate him in their home.

We took him in, and he immediately found his place with fellow veterans of the same era and wars.

He's that darker fellow, standing out from the crowd.  We expect he'll be here for some months, due to legal issues.  Then he'll move on and join his family.

Serbian-marked Imperial-made M91 Mosin rifle.


He's a Mosin-Nagant M91, Imperial manufacture, with Serbian service.

You appear well stocked for the Zomb-pacalypse.

Is that an Arisaka on the far left?
 
Nope, that's a Berdan II.
 
To the Wikipedia!
 
John, what marks it as having seen Serbian service?
 
The "C" you see on the receiver.
 

Good thing you don't spell with a lisp... ;)

 
Why?  Becauth I'd have trouble thaying "the thee you thee on the retheever?"
 
Prethithly tho, thirrah...!
 
I thought the Castle was the Donovan Home for Wayward Weapons ... ;-)
 
Cat, I think the *Old Boy* gives them whatever attention is needed. You just might be right about the Castle being the Donovan Home for Wayward Weapons, but not for long. The weapon may come in as "wayward", but not long, under that *Old Boy's Undivided Attention*.
 
ah, the ever present Berdanka :o)
 

Hey, all those weapons are veterans in need of a home... and in truth, the Castle is whatever it needs to be to meet the muse and feed the blogmonster!

 
Best load of guns, which have originally resisted evil.
 
I used to have the carbine version.

Hand held artillery that could and did hit wherever you wanted it to.
