Re: M-39 and M-38

M-39 has arrived! It is in great shape. Hopefully tonight I can take it apart and clean it up and take pictures. Can't wait to see if it is an antique!

Re: K-11 and K-31

Re: K-11 and K-31

You don't have the solders tag, which is what I really wanted when I was getting one, that is true. But you have a bayonet which matches the rifle. Mine does not. So I think that is pretty impressive in itself. Great Pictures. You will have a blast shooting it. :bravo: :bravo: Cat The matching bayo...

It was bidding at $239 but I was scared someone would snatch it so I hit the BIN button at $259 :devil2: For me, anything under $300 is a good price for an M-38 :2cents:

More pics of everything when it shows up...

K-11 and K-31

Well my window of buying opportunity is quickly closing here in California. As of 1-1-14 we will no longer be able to order C&R long guns to our doorstep without also having a certificate of eligibility AND sending an extra $19 per long gun off to the CA DOJ to have them registered just like han...

Re: SA M1 Garand

How did you order a field grade SA within the last 26 days?? I just mailed my order form in? Got a call when they received it saying the SA FG were on backorder, but the backorder log was much shorter than the SA SG or the HRA SG. Must have been very short... :thumbsup: I only wish it was a WWII da...

Re: no bidders ?

I asked the seller if he refinished the stock and he said "rifle is as I got it about 10 years or so ago from AIM" I know, I know, buy the rifle not the story. I just hope we can reach a consensus one way or the other. The importer is T6 from Knoxville TN, I have never seen this particular...

It is a refurb. It could be, I'll take some better pictures and post them.

Re: no bidders ?

M38 showed up today. The good news is, it's not a Molot and it is numbers matching. The bad news is, I do think the stock was refinished. So in light of that, I will refrain from discussing this particular rifle any further as I do not want to violate the rules...

Re: no bidders ?

Well I guess I can spill the beans. :biggrin: I had a few tricks up my sleeve and managed to pick this one up, even though the auction had ended. So we'll get to see if its a molot, or if the stock has been refinished.

Just waiting on shipping now, pics as soon as it shows up... :useless2:
