Sharp EYE for a Russian SKS

[martin08]

On occasion, the importers missed a translation. On the following '54 Tula, Century Arms didn't stop at the usual two Cyrillic letter prefix, and kept translating into the number sequence, mistaking a 3 for an E.

The result was an EYE for an unissued Soviet carbine. And oh, it's rather sharp.

Pics, and thanks for looking.

Every where you look it seems there are 1945 Tulas. Not many non refurbs though. Nice find.

I'm getting so tired of looking at these. If they're so common, maybe I'll just have to get one to tide me over before I get a G43. Or maybe a Svt40 instead.

Do you have trailers for storing all your hobby pieces? I know of only one guy with hundreds of pieces and his storage is massive.
