[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2281403, member: 13284"] Thanks Ronny. I would still like to find an M91, a couple more Finn variants, a 1903 or 03a3, and a K98k (and an SVT...a Swiss K31...a Russian SKS...the list doesn't ever seem to end). The carbine is a 1943 Izhevsk M38. I picked it up for a $100 back in May. It was wearing an M44 stock so I found an M38 set on eBay for $50 shipped. I refinished the M44 stock with a pine tar undercoat and amber shellac and sold it on eBay for $98. I had to replace the sear spring so I'm only into it for less than $70. Not too bad considering what they seem to be going for these days. I've had a couple different collectors tell me that the M38 stock is one of only around a dozen that have been documented with the press in sling escutcheons. Apparently they only made these for a couple months early in 1943. [/QUOTE]
