I usually don't lurk Gunsamerica as the sellers there usually want way to much for their firearms. Seeing that, I may just lurk again. :b sad: :b sad:

By the time I saw that, it had been sold, but I was able to sign on as basically 1st alternate in case the buyer backed out. I don't have one from that arsenal yet, it would have been a good first. If I'm not mistaken, i think that rifle may even have been a repost. It didn't sell the first time?

You might get lucky, buyers not coming up with the cash is a pretty common problem.

It's a hell of a thing to do to a seller, when I bid on something I have the cash in my hand to pay for it.

How many 1943 Izhevsk's are floating around compared to how many 1902 Sestroryetsk's?
I have two Finns built on 1898 Sestroryetsk receivers but nothing with the mark on top of the barrel.

Sestroryetsk, I only have the four, 1894, and the Great War dated ones. You don't see them very often, I always liked the older rifles, PU's have never been high on my list of must haves.
