Thumbs up to Copes Distributing
Just want to give a report on the excellent service I got from Copes. I put my order in Monday, and 26 hours later it's at my FFL holders. I bought their 91/30 and spam can deal, $199. And I'm one of the guys that snatched up the shipment of Romanian m1969 .22 trainers they got in. I was expecting a beater Mosin. I mean, c'mon, a can of ammo AND a 91/30 for that price? But I received a very clean 1938 Izhevsk, matching (force matched bolt) with an excellent bore. Bayonet doesnt fit, and no sling, but a beautiful rifle. The Romanian trainer is in good shape, made in 1984, a nice little rimfire. I'm really happy with what I got, and if I wasn't, I'd tell you. Thanks, Copes.

$130. Good shape, a few dings in stock. If it's half as accurate as the Norinco JW-15 I bought years ago, it'll be killing squirrels and tin cans decades from now. Good solid rifle, all steel and wood.

Nice to hear about Copes.
I could use a good cheap .22 (or two) too.

Re: Thumbs up to Copes Distributing
That 199 deal is what my LGS had when I got started collecting. I was buying at least one a week. Good to hear someone else is doing the same. Anyone know if Copes is a walk-in store? I live just under 2 hours from them.
on the deal.
But you know what they say......

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
