Nice! That one certainly has the jungle patina appearance. I really like the dirty stained sling.

Thank you!
Both this one and the Russian came from the same dealer.  The two carbines came out of the same collection in CA.  According to my google-fu, the collector got one through Little John's auctions out of california in 2012 and the other in 2013.

They are a nice set, glad to see you got them both.  The CA collector who originally paired them certainly knew how to find them!  thumb1
