20 years ago I was fortunate to buy 2 rifles from Century Arms when they were located in the old St Albans, VT rail yard. I got a Tula Russianicon SKS that was arsenal refinished complete with peeling varnish stock finish and gobs of cosmolene. Also a #4 MK2 unfired in the cosmolene. Irish war reserve but not mummy wrapped. 2 scratches in the stock and a dent in the magazine, all markings were highlighted with gold marker pen. I've never degreased them.
