I should have bought the whole case of them, two or three cases, I remember several of them sitting on the gun shop rack for months before he dropped the price to move them. All Soviet refurbs like mine. Times have changed, and like usual not for the better.

They can be had for less than that too if you shop around and are cheap like we are. Bargaining in person at shows is much easier than online for me. Usually I tell them the truth and that being I only have x amount of money available as I like to eat too! One look at me and they know I'm telling the truth. I wonder why? :chuckles: Bill
