Original Configuration '49
« on: October 25, 2015, 10:59:05 AM »
We don't get too many chances in the States to see a '49 Russian with correct parts.  Refurb or not, it's looking like the real deal.

Yup, I saw that one last night.  Pcke2000 is a member here, hopefully he comes along and posts it up here as well. 

I'd really love to get a good shot of the receiver S/N along with shots of any refurb marks that it may or may not have on the various parts internal and external.   thumb1

Unless the magazine was adapted internally like some are? Also, the barrel is import marked isn't it?

Not entirely clear in the pic to be 100% sure, but is surely looks like an early Century mark.

That is incredible  8) The spike bayonet, the font of the year stamp and the Tula symbol on the receiver cover.  Neat stuff.

Very nice!  Did you buy a lotto ticket after this one?  That'd be one heck of a winning streak!  dance2

I bet they are coming out of the woodwork peppering your PM box on gunboards and SKSboards with lowball unsolicited offers.   chuckles1

That's a $3k+ gun right there regardless of the refurb!  Don't let the 'real collectors' take it from you!  thumb1

Didn't Canada have a Century Arms office, like in Ontario or Montreal way back in the day?  Seems I remember seeing or hearing about some Canadian imports on a Canadian board that had import stamps from Century.

They did have a Century branch in CA, but I'm pretty sure they were not import marking them then either...

So....a non import Canadian weapon can make it in to the U.S., but a import stamped bound for the U.S. weapon couldn't possibly make it into Canada. think1
