I saw several at Zero Hour for the same price. I was so tempted to buy one, but refrained.
Try to stay away from Czech in the light blue box. You might have to "bitch slap" your bolt after a few fired to open and chamber the next round.
Thank you for pointing that out.... now I know why the bolt on a new (to me) Mosin's bolt was seizing up after shooting through a light-blue box of Czech ammo. I really had to give it a whack to get the thing open. Thankfully, I did not buy that in bulk.
Why?
Everyone needs a historical boom-stick complete with folding bayonet.
Just think... where else are you going to find a military surplus high powered and easily carried rifle that shoots readily available surplus ammunition for under $100?
i didnt want a bayonet on mine, they are a accident waiting to happen in my opinion.
well i just dont have any use for a bayonet, and they can be accident prone when fixed.
