Honey hole coughs up yet another gem - now w. new photos
A couple yrs ago I got two fantastic M91 Mosins via absentee bid at auction for stupid cheap prices. I realized that the locals weren't into milsurps and always kept an eye on that establishment for future firearm auctions. Today I snagged a rare Berthier 1907/15 M34 rifle from them. These are like Finn m28/30 for me, I grab 'em whenever I can. In this case I got it cheap. The last one I saw for sale netted $850 for the seller. Got this one for just above half that price. It's missing the stacking rod but I have reproduction rods that I had made in my company's machine shop before they closed for good. Otherwise it looks to be in good nick, even appears to have a correct period black sling. Just hope that everything's OK when it arrives as I don't need any ugly surprises, have had enough of those lately!
Auction photos for now. Better ones to come when the rifle arrives.
