I got one !!!!

Post by Gsragtop »

Yes, my gun fund is in the negative.. Yes I have been trying very hard to not buy anything... However I let one of these slip through my fingers about 8 months back, before I really understood what others were trying to tell me. I have been on the look out ever since.. This one had to come home to me.. And while everyone was watching walking dead, I won the bid.

Yes she is not the best looking girl on the block, but she is a 44 Tula M44 and that hole in my collection is now filled... BTW How much are kidneys going for nowadays ???

I am glad you won it. I had to fight myself to keep from bidding when it was at $205.

A very good price considering it's rarity and todays going rates for a basic Izhevsk M44 :)

Way to go ragtop, your time finally came and was well worth the wait. A Tula m44 is a serious collection addition.
