Thanks guys! I got her all cleaned up, she turned out great, will take more pics this afternoon...

Hows about an all matching T-53 for your viewing pleasure? Possibly showcase worthy? Made in 1953.9, and has a cryllic letter preceding the serial... Pics are before any cleanup. Bottom one is the all matching one(top one[1954.1] is not in bad shape either but will have it's own thread) http://i1110...

I had one almost skewer my foot yesterday lets just say they no longer reside on the upper shelf in my cabinet

I just missed out on this one because I forgot to log in and place a bid before the auction ended

Call them if you want any, someone tied up their online stock

Don't know too much about them. How much more is one in a correct M38 stock worth compared to one in an M44 stock?

Thanks guys!

Looking at an e'mail for an SKS semi auto and it states " All Milled " What does that mean ????? My ignorance showing again. :oops: :oops: :oops: Jim Milled out parts instead of stamped out parts. Higher quality...

Direct from the importer, Century International Arms, you need to have an 03 FFL or better to order from them.

They were not refurbished.

And here are two more commies to go along with it, just showed up from Century. They are the good incompletes, hard to pass up for $66 bucks a pop :Drool1: :big shock: :thumbsup: Now I have a 1954, 1955 and 1956... The one stock should be an easy fix, the other, not sure yet as the piece is missing....

Hey drapnor, I have to ask about the hole in the stock on the right side rear. Was there a metal "button" looking disk in the hole? That is exactly where mine has a round metal part pushed into the wood. I never stuck anything in the hole, but I'll check now for you. I have a feeling it w...

Yea, Century was the importer, but I bought it from Classic...

Thanks guys! Isn't 1956 the first year of these?

I like it so much I ordered two more. Rolling the dice on 2 of the good incomplete ones, hell for $132 delivered for 2 carbines how could I not?

They go so nicely with the "sino-albanian" sks', now I'll have three of each

Did I say Century? I meant Classic. Whoops!

Here is the T-53 I got a while back. I forgot to take pics and post it up. The sling and cleaning rod did not come with it. All matching except the bolt. Stock has dings, gouges etc but no cracks. It looks like someone used it to break the bolt down in a couple different places http://i1110.photobuc...

Finally got to go to the range yesterday. Brought this, an sks, my son's .22 and my shotgun as well as a few handguns. Forgot the dang clays at home so the shotty didn't get much action :very mad: I have to say this is my most accurate Mosin Nagant by far. :thumbsup: We don't punch paper much, we ri...

Just got here today, 1942 Izhevsk laminate stock. '42 tang date. Not counter bored. Mag plate is lined out and re-stamped matching, everything else matches also. Stock has "repaired" toe but looks great. :Drool1: After a quick wipedown http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h456/drabnor/IMAG0...
