This rifle is not a Bulgarian refurb. The magazine is a Bulgarian refurb but not the rifle. The rifle is a terrible fake (receiver serial number). The vast majority of Bulgarian refurbs are 1943 dated and they didn't renumber things. Most are typically factory original with a coat of finish to the stock. The bolt carrier on this rifle is from a Izhevsk rifle and some one tried to number the receiver to match it and did not paying attention to the bolt itself. Then they sanded and cleaned the stock to make it look "pretty."
