So, when this one showed up on Gunbroker with poor description and pics, it was worth a chance at $179 plus shipping. With none left on the primary market, one needs to wait for a collector to decide to turn a gun loose. Turned out to be a winner. It needed a bayonet, but I had one kicking around.
These are just as nicely finished as advertized. Not original matching, but very nice. There are a couple of stamps on the receiver, which weren't a habit of the Soviets, so the Yugoslavians are the next best guess for their origin. Rear sight leaf in the white. Very discreet import mark under the muzzle end, keeps it clean.
Stock is sanded, of course, and the CCCP cartouche is all but gone. Refinished in oil, and the 1.TRZ cartouche added. Pics, and thanks for looking.
