Looks like a previously unknown Soviet Sino on the other boards in the classic picture thread. :o

Hopefully he doesn't "restore" it.
Looks to me like it has already been tung oiled.
It does look pretty glossy.
Maybe shellac. Its over and in all the scratches, dings etc.
Nice eye Jim! thumb1 IACO stamp on it too so that likely puts it at a pre '91 import as NHM did the bulk of the '91 through '94 imports it seems. dance2
That gun reminds me of my "silver" six digi /26\ (well except for the uber rarity! chuckles1):

It always surprises me when things like that show up in a newbie's hands. (Makes me a bit jealous too, but what can you do? chuckles1)

:o I can't believe it. He put up pics today. They're falling out of the sky. All matching, he said all he's done is clean and oil the stock.

See, nothing to worry about, they are becoming as common as a regular ghost or letter rifle.. It's becoming just another junkie Chinese/Russian rifle. Nothing special to see, hold or own. chuckles1 chuckles1

Awesome Jim! Did he out up pics of the stock S/N too? I'd love to see more of that one if there are any other pics. Maybe import stamp too if it's not too much troubke to put up for him. :P

I'm pretty sure the trigger group matched but the pic was blurry.
BUY BUY BUY!!!!
Still none over 2k serial. thumb1
Interesting that the number fonts are different between rifles.
Nah
I'm not seing different fonts either.
The stock on the second one is a bit odd though. That buttpad obviously doesn't belong there. I wonder if the numeral size on it corresponds to a '56 Russian font? Its obviously not an early ghost font on the wood...
Thats one of those screw on rubber thingys. Could be a later replacement stock... Like all the others seem to have received. Cool its numbered though. thumb1
Should offer 6 bills for it.
The guy says he's shot 1000s of rounds threw it and taken 10 deer with it and will leave it to his son now that he knows what he has...of course Benjamin's can be persuasive at times.
