Haven't got it yet, but the SOG unissued Bulgarian Maks are now being shipped.

Confirmation the Swede shipped today, and got a call for my CC info from a guy i made a deal with on GB, he kept listing a Brazilian Mauser and bayonet and no bites. went from 425.00 down to 375 still no hits.. I emailed a offer before it went off again and said Ill do 360.00 shipped, he took it.
Classic tapped into what appears to be the same batch too, but they have this strange back and forth on the webpage where they are reluctant to call them unissued (making a veiled reference to SOG).
I suspected that SOG was doing the pre-orders because they got burned when other places sold their P-64s fast, and SOG, maybe tapping into the same import supplier, seem to get stuck with larger inventory.
I wonder if the "unissued" Bulgarian Maks will be on the AIM website soon, too.

If it's the one that I looked at earlier today, it's a very good buy for $360 shipped. Nice snag!

"In fact, some in the industry, including the importer, are calling this shipment un-issued and we agree that they absolutely do look that way. However, there is no way for us to qualify that statement so we are just saying they look un-issued. At most you may see some slight storage marks where they have been setting in the wooden crates but the vast majority don't even reflect that."
That's a switch ... Classic being hesitant to puff the hell out of something! Maybe early orders with SOG will actually get unissued guns ... and maybe Classic knows that they bought cheaper, second-tier, copies from the same supplier.
See Fred's post in the In Stock Now thread ... he mentioned that SOG has a handpick option with this new batch of Bulgarian Makarovs. I do think that those who pre-ordered expecting unissued condition, should get the cream of the crop without having to pay for the handpick if there is clear variation.

I talked to him a month ago about it and asked a bunch of questions. I kinda put it on the "maybe" list. Then the other night I seen it again, it was down to 375.00+35 shipping.... So I emailed.. Said look man if your tired of listing it I'll give it a shot for 360.00 shipped.
Works out good too cause I bought 885 rounds of 7mm surplus (kynoch?)on Sat and didn't own a 7mm Mauser.

Why would that idiot fill in the import mark with a grease pencil? That seller is kind of a nut with his prices.
That's a pretty rifle. I've seen a lot of SA marked Swede's lately. There weren't many, which would worry me a little - I probably wouldn't pay a premium for one given how many fakes are likely out there.

I dunno ... I sort of thought that it was honorable of him to clearly show that it's import marked.

Not the first time ive seen sellers do it, wont be the last. I dont currently have any Swede's so i figured id buy as nice as i could since it may be the only one i buy. Not sure if you guys noticed but lately ive been trying to buy One nice Mauser Per country.

I don't think you did bad at all. I see ones in lesser shape without Finn markings go for more than that.

Thanks, ive seen some nice Swede's at shows for about 350, but not Finn Marked. I would have liked to have got this for about 400 shipped , No one was bidding on it, i emailed the seller about 10 hours out and asked them if they would throw in shipping if i won so it would have been 400 even.. however i never got a reply, then someone bid on it about a hour to go.

I would be all over a nice Swede for 350. Around here, *IF* you see one for 350 at a gun show, it's probably a parts gun or a sporter. Our gun shows are sad and frustrating for C&R stuff!
