Yup your are correct the beat up ones are just signs that bad boy was put to use. Nothing wrong with a beat Mosin at all as long as its safe to use. i just pretty mine up because thats me and my personality. just like my Chinese SKS was beat to hell i prettied her up really good. Some people...

Great guy to do business with.
Haven't had a chance to shoot the rifle I purchased yet but she is a beauty. The seller communicated well and we had a smooth FTF transaction.
