$47 with tax and postage, but I really needed a grenade launcher. Thanks for the heads up.
Same here, got one on the way. Now I need some blanks.

That's beautiful, congrats. Nice kat too--could be sister of my feline.
Took my SKS to the range yesterday, functioned flawlessly, and if somebody else was shooting it, probably would have shot quite accurately--it was a little high and right, but grouped fine.
I'd never shot an SKS, and I was surprised how little recoil there was with it--could have shot it all day. Don't like the sights, which is my excuse for shooting it poorly, but otherwise they are really beautiful rifles, effectively brand new, and very well made.
I like the whole grenade launcher thing too, rubber butt pad and the night sight. More things to play with, and I like the idea that Marshall Tito's people's army saw every soldier as a rifleman, grenadier and pikeman.
Translation page was interesting too--thanks. What are we to presume, that these were manufactured in the '50s, sat around various arsenals for a time and finally gathered up and put into long term storage around 1969/70?
Its blood stained !

Most of the reenactors I know get their blanks from here

That's more logical, you see this plum color a lot on the late-war, Walther-produced P38s but not on Spreewerk or Mauser.
Also heard it was a matter of how the metal was pre-treated before bluing.
Anyway, on the Walthers it is a very fragile finish and easily worn off, can even wipe off if you're not careful and use harsher cleaners on it.
It could also be any combination of metallurgy, pre-treating, and heat.
If you notice the reblued "Bulgarian Star B's" they almost always have a purple-colored extractor, which is a hardened part.

I just had to order one of these to go with the new Yugo that I've got on the way. It will give the neighbors something to talk about (almost all of them are shooters, too, fortunately).

No, that's just a trap for unsuspecting enemy soldiers to pinch the hell out of their finger!Fortunately, the sks has that nice blanks holder in the butt of the stock.
My Yugo came in today - hand select - and it looks pretty much like the one that Toolness got, only not quite as much figure in the wood. Same basic color, though.
I haven't looked it over really well yet, but was disappointed that the serial on the bolt cover is 49 numbers off matching the rest of the rifle's numbers. I sort of thought that was part of the hand select, but guess not. Still, it could be a lot worse. Now I won't be as hesitant to shoot it.
Will try to take pics tomorrow.
I just pulled the trigger on this 1945 dated Sako M39. I can't understand why/how this sat for almost 4 days with a BIN of $399 without a single bid. I couldn't help myself.

I'd say you have a problem, but I'd just be a hypocrite
(esp. as I just picked up yet another Walther P4 tonight)
Looks like a nice rifle.
Great deal on a mag if you need one
