the 53 Izzy is thought to be one of the more rare Russian SKS rifles. I had 2 53 Izzys. when I was buying my motorcycle, I let one 53 izzy go for a decent profit. I was always sorry I gave up one of them due to the rarity. The older one had the black bolt and BBQ painted cover which I am not that fond of (done as part of the refurbishment process sometimes).
When I came across this one, I knew I had a chance to replace my old one. This, like the other one is a refurb, has the same laminated stock but did not have the BBQ paint and has a nice blue cover and white bolt!! I just got her in the safe last week.
Best of all, I upgraded the rifle for exactly what I sold the old one for 2 years ago .
The bottom of these two I sold. the other one I kept
