I just zoomed into AIM the other day to see if they had any new surplus gun lineups, and lo-and-behold they announced a recent import of Polish wz.78 military trainers.

Does anyone know much about or have experience with these 78's? I've never heard of them before and can't find much information in the internet; but their storage condition seems to be practically immaculate, they're relatively cheap, feature scope rails, heavy barrels, and have the added value of being mil-surp (hey, I like 'em).
I like the fact that they're bolt action and can actually load rounds from the magazine instead of having to be fed single-fire like some I've seen. I was holding out for getting a heavier milsurp like a K31 or SMLE No. 4, but this is just as cheap and would enable me to practice my shooting skills; maybe it's even a gun I could give to my son someday if I take proper care of it.
The asking price is 230$; what do you guys think?
