Ran across one at the Local Gun Store yesterday. Very nice, 1947 Russian carbine. Blond stock w/bayonet" $499.99!!!! PASS. My 1952 Polish model with a synthetic stock and bayonet, purchased at the same store 18 months ago for $199, is MY keeper.

"That guy with the running, driving, numbers-matching 'Corvette is insane. He's asking $8,000!"
"This Nova with a seized engine, hacked transmission conversion, primered body, Toyota interior, mismatched tires and wheels, beer can exhaust pipe, and rotten floor was only $1,500!"
