When the Obama admin. banned Russianicon imports a few crates of these were rerouted to Turkeyicon where they sat for all these years; they finely made it to the US. When they were first released they were going for $350.00 handpicked near the end they pushed up to $399.00 and people were still buying them. I got one from a shop I do a lot of buying from for $325.00 (discounted) I'll put a pic up if y'all want it . its got a layer of cosmoline still, I wiped some off because I didn't want to caca up my gun safe too much. Came with the normal stuff, matching bayonet, sling, oilier, cleaning and tool kit. I don't even know why I bought it, to be honest. I'll never use the rifles and it will more than likely remain in the cosmoline until I sell it or die.

    I've seen people trying to sell them for over 400.00 and that's is a nuts price I agree, when you can still get them for under $350.00 if you just take your time looking. Of course, those are People Republic of California prices which are higher for everything that goes boom or bang, or even pew pew.. If I bought out of state it would cost me an extra 35 to 65 transfer and 30 up for shipping.
