Default Got something Cool

My friend from the Tacoma store transfered over to my store after I got back from Iraq. We had a lot of talks about life and war etc... before I left. He's a Vietnam vet. One of the things he does in his spare time is collect rifle's and pistols and reloads... Well he had an SKS that I was always trying to buy from him. They run anywhere from 200 to 350 for good ones. Well the one he had is an 1954 Original Russian made (very rare) most you find now a days are Chinese nock offs off Warsaw Pact remakes. Anyways when I met back up with him at Puyallup he comes up to me and says "From one combat vet to another I am just going to give you that rifle!" I was like WOW!@!! so anyway here it is, watch for the new stock i want to get for it in my sig so I don't ruin the wood using it.

ooooo that's nice! looks like an SVT40 That's a very nice piece, it's hard to get anything from that era in such good condition, and that he had the bayonet is an added bit of spiff. Again, very nice, and you have my jealousy
