I really don't know. I don't really go searching for projects, they just seem to fall into my lap. I have that 24/47 to put back together but not having much luck locating what I need for it. Just keep me in mind if you come across anything unusual.

Well got to talk to old distributor in morning today He is doing summer inventory an found some old stuff.
according to him he got to move some old military junk both good an bad. So keep your fingers crossed.
I am selling more of the bolt less yugos thank the better ones. go figure

the chances are I can not help you from here, but what is on your "want" list?

[Aragorn243]

My want list is pretty small right now. A lot of my recent purchases and projects weren't on it, they were opportunities. I started collecting with the intent of getting one each of the major rifles for the major powers in WWI and WWII. I've ended up picking up a lot of secondary rifles and expanding both before and after the wars. What is currently on my list that I can afford is an M38 in an M38 stock. I've been seeing a fair number of M38's but all are in M44 stocks. The other three on my list I can't really afford, only one, a 1903 Springfield is high priority. The other two, a Canadian Ross and a Soviet SVT-40 are really back burner. Hoping with a new administration the restrictions on Russian imports will end and the SVT-40 will be affordable again.

Mike,

Oddly enough, I just got a complete 24/47 stock with all the metal for $37 on ebay tonight so that project will be completed sometime next week.

[mmppres]

well that was a great deal for you makes a nice rifle for what you got invested.

[Aragorn243]

Yep, I have a cleaning rod coming from somewhere here in the states and a sling coming from Serbia. The stock is filthy, blackened oil by the looks of it in the photos but I can see some nice grain under all the crud. It will take a day or so to clean it up.
