I was looking through Armslist late last night and came across a Mosin M38, Matching SN's with an M38, not M44, stock for $200..
I talked him down to $180
M38 on top with my Type53 on bottom (Yea I know, ChiCom sling, but it isnt as stiff as the one it came with. I'll change it out when I get it softened up)
The Bore. Looks really good. It's counterbored, but I am pretty sure most M38 were.
the Receiver/Bolt
Pretty sure it's an Izhevsk
And the Import Mark is tiny. PW Redmond, WA
