Friday I found out that I was maxed out on my Comp time at work, just over 200 hours and needed to burn some up so that I don’t loose any in the coming months. So I took today off to burn up ten comp hours.
What better to do on a paid day of other then go gun hunting. The first two shops I stopped of at, I ran into friends and ended up burning up a few hours just shooting the bull and finding nothing that I wanted to buy.
The third shop was closed for the day. It’s funny that I had never paid attention to their posted business hours that says they’re closed on Mondays.
So I started to head back home. I stopped and got my old dog some food at Tractor Supply and as I got back on the road, I thought about the pawn shop that was about five miles passed my house and decided to go by and see if the had anything I might want. I don’t go by this shop as often because it’s a little out of my way of my day to day driving.
As I walked in the door the store owner greets me and says that its been a few months since I’ve been by. We shoot the bull a little and then start looking at guns.
On the end of the rack I spot two Surplus rifles, a Yugo 24/47 and a 91/30 Mosin. The 24/47 looked great and the Mosin looked like crap. I asked to look at the 24/47 and see that it was priced $249.95. I asked if he could work on the price and was told I could have it for $225 out the door. I said deal.
I then asked what happened to the poor Mosin. It had been poorly refinished. It looked like someone had allowed stain to dry on the surface and then covered it with clear poly.
But it was a 39 Tula with a matching bolt. The price tag was marked $189.95. I thought to myself, what the hell so, I asked what would he let me have it for. The answer was $185 out the door.
Here are the two rifles. I’ll take some more pics and do a more detailed post on each.
