Thanks Todd,

It was so nice talking to you just now. I called Todd to arrange the payment for the mosin izzy sniper I said I would take.

Its real dangerous (and expensive) for someone with Milsurp-itis to talk to Todd.

I just had to ask ,

Hey feller, you still got that Albanian SKS?..He did and I took it.

Hey you still got that Chinese contract VZ 24 with the P mark?..He did, I took it.

Hey you have any all matching T-53's..He did, I took it.

Oh and he had a Russian capture K-98..and of course that had to follow the others home too!

And I',m waiting for pix on a K-31.

I said, Todd I need to go now, I'm almost to the thresh -hold of the wife shooting me with my own guns, when I return to the states.

Todd, said OK, at least I know where I can buy them back at auction. That made me smile.

Todd always gets the best guns. 'Im outta country most of the time, so Todd will be my eyes and pick the good ones for me. And he supports the forum so buying from Todd is a no-brainer for me.

Thanks again Todd!

I feel your pain (not really). I called him and ended up with 91/30 sniper #2.

I did take the precaution of locking up the ammo where my wife can't get at it. Sure hope she doesn't find the bayonet.

Frequently wrong, never in doubt!

DMG 4, I was wondering who snagged number 2. I asked Todd if anyone defaulted on the Tulas,that if so, I would take them, but he said no so I'm sticking with my IZZY sniper.

A much better deal IMO than one of the fake ones with the newly manufactured scopes or taking a chance on one of the big 5 gun mills with the new "real" mosin snipers. At least Todd looks at them carefully beforehand.

We are all hoping some more Tulas will come to light. Time should produce some photos of thes rifles. I got to see some close up views of those nasty white import marks and see if the Russian prefix is also on the bolt. Then I call Todd. That is the only way to go.

I wished I knew Todd was going to get some Sniper rifles. I would of preferred to get one from him as it would of been looked over already. Oh well I will see what I get from the other place I brought from....

I have not purchased from him yet but I used to take the same approach with cameras. Pay a little more from someone I can trust and it always worked a LOT better than any auction site.

I'm wondering if he has Mosin Carbine in good shape, perhap a Finn?

Never mind.......but do you Todd?

B2

Todd said a couple of days ago that he was going to post some nice M44s for sale....thats what I am looking forward to now.

I am trying to get a couple more of the snipers and will look for Tulas. I seen a lot of sketchy looking marking so I held out for ones I know we're all good. I will post them if I get lucky. I got the inlaws coming this weekend so next week around Tuesday I will post the 44's and other guns.
