Mismatched for one, better examples out there that are lifetime keepers, that one if I had it would be trading stock.

REFINISHED STOCK looks like to me. I will have to look at it closer though. :D

Yep. And mismatched to boot.

I'm not seeing the refinished stock. I think the 209 was a fair price, but I guess it did not meet the reserve.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Another $200 plus refurb which could be a Molot is not matched and while there were less M38's made they are not rare birds in anyway. The last one I bought was much less than that one and I turned away one for $150 just yesterday. Bill :wink:

Looks like a typical Soviet refurb to me, no idea why none of you bid on it, I am out of that game so don't look at me.

I might have but my search was for "m38" so I missed this one. Just as well since I got that 91/59.

...and you did much better with that 91/59 than you would have done with this.

Fuzzy Pictures hide a multitude of defects... Some of the Dealers on Gun Brokers have become experts at taking pictures of Crapy Rifles in a way to make them look good... Especially pictures of Stocks... :angry4:

Some can't be bothered to get a good camera and learn how to use it properly. Fine if it's a $10 item, unforgivable if it's a $200 item.

I doubt it's a Molot. I haven't heard of any Molot's coming in that were not completely matched (forced). Hard to tell if the stock was refinished. It is possible based on those pics. But, even if it was, less than $250 to the door for a laminate M38? Seems like a good price for a shooter or hunting carbine.

Molot rifles can sometimes have the stamps hidden under the handguard, but no, this looks like any common Soviet refurb.

I already have a 41, I'm broke & this could have been a Molot.
