Its not laminate. If you look at the picture of the floor plate the lines of the laminate would be straight. It looks sanded on in the pic of the serial numbers. Maybe beech?

Everyday I see something else I gotta have. That's awesome.!

What I want to get is one of the 50's dated ones with the large Izhevsk logo like you see on the SKS's! I've seen a picture of one and boy do I want it! Not mine but a sample of the 50's date / big logo... http://forums.gunboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=474185&d=1319223641 The picture d...

Wow a '47. I thought the '46 was a good find!

I've noticed lately that this has occurred in the K-31/K-11 market. $800+ for a K-31? Who would have thunk it... :bonk: Few years ago someone told me you have to have at least one K-31 in the family so I started looking. Steadily the prices went up and up and I never did get one. I got the idea at ...

Wow my eyes are getting bad. I just noticed the 19 on the tang!

Thanks everyone. Sorry racerguy, I know you were next in line. I just happen to be at the right place at the right time. I never gave the trifecta a thought Lotema...but now its stuck in my head for sure. Anyone have any idea about the "P" on the barrel? I've seen them below the serial num...

few more....

Just got this today. The pictures dont do it justice. Its a beaut!

Would have loved to have gotten a few....

...you throwing that top away anytime soon?

...to each his own. I sure wouldnt razz a guy for collecting beer cans. Saw a guy on tv with a collection worth 1.5 million dollars. Guess he should have just drank the beer and tossed the cans huh? Not saying the ammo cans will ever be worth anything but I think they are cool and I collect them. Te...

Tell us you got a bargain..... I'm afraid the bargains are few and far between. I paid $280 for the crate and was glad to get it. At just shy of 32 cents a round its a good price by todays standard. Plus I get the tins and crate...if I can only figure out how to open it...no can opener with these c...

Havent seen crates in....well forever. I was in Pittsburgh and saw this at a gun show. He had a crate of 72-188 also but I was hoping to get galvanized tins for my collection.

(unadulterated) ...was the key word there dolk, but I see your point. If thats the only way a firearm is available then chopped up becomes the norm. Seems like one of the things that affect pricing is whoever is in power at the time...a wise fella told me, "it doesnt matter who is in the White...

I think maybe this is the first time I ever heard of anyone catching the mosin bug BEFORE even buying one! Now that you have one its all over. Get some pics of your ex sniper up so we can all see. Cant say much about the AMC Im afraid. My first car I put back together was a '69 Fastback Mustang. Cos...
