Here's a couple of my recent acquisitions:
First, a finned M91/30 w/ a pot-belly war-time stock. Complete with sling. Headspace is good. Finish (not Finnish) is lousy, covered in laquer or varnish. It's not polyurethane or shellac. Slight crack on the wrist. Receiver is a 1941 Izhevsk. Cocking piece is a Chatellerault.
The second one is a 1952 Hun M44 that I picked up at a pawn shop for $80. Bolt doesn't match, but everything else does. Bore looks really good. Headspace is good. Action cycles extremely smoothly. There are some interesting things scratched into the magazine, but I can't quite tell what they say. One looks like '1955'. The other looks like 'Stol3n' or something like that.
Anyway, just wanted to share.
