Title: I Don't Know What Happened???
Post by: echo1 on March 30, 2024, 01:26:05 AM
Howdy Commie Lovers,

I don't know what's become of my will power. I've been trying to not buy any more guns...but I'm a sucker for a deal. This beautiful as issued no import stamp '51 Tula kinda jumped out at me, for less than half what I thought it was worth, only a month or so after the '54 light refurb. She's rough around the edges but should clean up wonderfully. Inbound from Oregon  8) PAX

Nice one PAX!  I wonder if it could be a Canadian border hopper?  Look over the magazine carefully for weld remnants where the block would have been when you get her in.   thumb1

Will do upon inspection but I hope she's not an alien implant. I was so excited to finally get a reply back from the seller after 2 days, and not being Russian savvy, I forgot to ask about the mag. He said it's all matching numbers with the rear site is EPd. PAX
