Title: A Fair 7-mil
Post by: martin08 on May 28, 2018, 11:05:32 AM
Nothing we haven't seen before.  But I couldn't let this stay at the gun show for $350.

Typical 50% finish, all matching 7-mil Factory /26\ import from Albania.  I didn't dig back into it for internal pics, because I didn't feel like washing my hands all day again.  They didn't skimp on the grease.

There's something to be said for the font used on the early guns. They were usually well stamped, clear, and just..looked..good. Nice find martin08!

Great 7 mil! I couldn’t have left that one on the table for that price. I like the SN and its two part palindromic numbering 707-9669

Great price M08!  Pretty decent condition too considering it's a Sinobanian.  thumb1

Nice rifle M08... now, whatcha got against grease?  bat1 It's good stuffs when your hands are covered in it, it adds that certain avant garde flavor to all kinds of foods thumb1

It's hard to beat a peanut butter and jelly samitch with 5th wheel grease fingerprints.

Ha!  You're right.  I shouldn't have an aversion to grease, having spent the most of three decades in an auto repair shop.  But I sold the shop two years ago, and have since become a wimp!
