Hows the action on that thing?
Covered in cosmoline
I'm not familiar with the houstongunforum store...did you call and ask what they had in stock or just go by and handpick? How much did that Tula cost? You're making me want to grab one to mess around with. I've been trying to hold out on buying anything else until I get a look at what's going to be in the gun collection at this estate sale coming up but its been difficult.
Ryan, the admin at TexasGunForum owns the store. He has very limited amounts of nagants, about 3 Tula's maybe, round receivers. The only other hex he has is an Ihzvesk.
I called him wanting to FFL transfer a hex from AimSurplus to his shop. He has very well priced FFL transfer rates. Jim Pruett's was asking $50 for FFL transfers, and Fountain Firearms wanted $85! Hell no, I wasn't willing to pay that, so I called Ryan last (as he is furthest away from where I live), and he was doing it for a great price. I told him I wanted to FFL over a mosin, and he told me he has a few in stock.
His shop is at Steubner Airline, which is far as hell for me. I paid... $143 for it, and it came with a bayonet, sling, mag pouch, tool kit, and everything. Not sure if he has anymore bayonets left though.
