Hi Fellas,
Went to my FFL to give my latest acquisitions the once over. To say the least I'm happy. I horse traded a rough VZ24 Turk for a slingless, mismatched, refurbed M44, that looks like it went door to door, rousting Nazis in Stalingrad. Calguns "TBM 1"'s gave me a heads up on an SKS that Pacific Tool had, and was in fact a very nice deal for the money. The picture they listed was accurate. Ugly leaf-rattle-can-camo paint job, made uglier with add on rubber recoil pad and backwards installed spring attached sling......but
ALL MATCHING NUMBERS, even the wood, with cleaning rod & kit in the stock. Late pinned barrel /26\ with a good crown, shinny bore, decent bluing, tiny CAI import stamp under spiker. Didn't check the sear engagement, but otherwise it looks like an easy save/resto project, at a fair price. I'm thinking the paint strip efforts will equal decosmofizing. One more SKS in the rack, thanks T.
This place doesn't seem to have a lot of activity does it. PAX
