i never said i wasn't happy with it. i am just looking for advise from those that know more about these things than i do. and thank you for your comments. what you said makes sense. the gun is rather glossy compared to my other Toks. i don't feel that i paid too much for it. i just had...

i understand all that. and i understand that the Tok does not have an "as issued" finish. i still disagree with you on your appraisal regardless of the finish. but how can you tell it has a civilian finish as apposed to a Russian factory re-arsenal finish?

sorry....not trying to toot my own horn here....but a pre War Tula TT-33 with stamps this nice is worth more than $300, regardless of finish. i think you guys have been out of the game for a while. we are not in the 80s anymore. maybe in Canada that's the price......but in the States, a...

^^^^ you're smokin crack

thanks for the comments Jim. there is some documentation of 1937 and 1938 TT-33s with plum blued slides. it was a mistake in the re-arsenal process. here is the only link i know of, as the topic is as rare as the guns: https://www.facebook.com/zenitco/posts/990061877724119 when you say...

cost me $620 out the door. right now i am trying to solve the mystery of the plum blue color. here are some pics next to a normal blued gun, to contrast

here are some updated pics. i put some wood Russian grips on it.

i just bought this today at my local gun shot. it's a 1940 Tula Tokarev (TT-33). it doesn't have any import mark or import safety switch. i am assuming it is a refurb, as the blueing is excellent. even the barrel is blued......and the blue-job looks "plum" in color. all parts are...

i was wondering if anyone could help me out with this 1940 Tula Tokarev. i just picked it up from my local gun store. it doesn't have any import mark or import safety switch. i am assuming it is a refurb, as the blueing is excellent. even the barrel is blued......and the blue-job looks...

yesterday i had some range time with friends, shooting AKs. i thought i'd share some pics of a Vector Arms RPK-74 that i recently acquired.

tell more. DMR in a sage stock? or are you an old vet that handled the M21?

well i don't really want to make this thread about what the definition of an "actual M14" is........but my understanding is that it is not an "actual" M14 unless it was a government issued select fire rifle and was made by either Winchester, Springfield, H&R or TRW. LRB makes solid mil spec...

Slamfire: man.....your M1 Garand stock would be a perfect candidate for what i did with my stocks. that is a damn fine walnut tiger stripe M1 stock you have. it would look even sexier if it was tiger striped from head to toe. you should consider having LAW483 Enterprises custom match the...

well.....obviously they are civilian M14s. they are Springfield M1A Standards. all the stocks are original GI stocks that i have collected over the years. the handguards are all bran new, custom made to look like they came from the same block of wood. Tony at LAW483 Enterprises is the guy...

it is in the wood. you can't really fake "striping". some have tried with putting a flame torch to their stock, but it jut looks like burnt wood. real striping is a holographic illusion that is in the grain of the wood and shifts and moves with the direction of the light. these stock and...

thanks. yeah, flame is the right word. stock#1 literally looks like it is on fire! it's my hot rod with flames for sure. the holographic stripes also flicker and move at different angles in the sunlight.

Awesome M14 pics......Tiger stripes! custom wood from LAW483 Enterprises M14 #1 M14 #2 M14 #3 M14 #4

i am looking to get the 4465 model S&K mount for my M38. can anyone give me info on whether it is made of steel or aluminum? i had read that they are steel and cost around $80. on Brownell's they have the 4465 mount for $55 but they say it is aluminum. is this a typo? are there two different...

So the receiver is liable not the sender?

i need some clarity. it is illegal to send an old high capacity AK magazine to New Jersey if it is sent as a "repair parts kit"? it is legal to ship to California in this manor, correct? which ban states accept high cap mags as "kits" and which don't. i have always been confused by this. thanks.
