Does any one have any experience with it. Any thing to know about it. I picked one up in decent condition on a trade.

Thank you.

Finding ammo for that rifle will prove to be troublesome.

Maybe one of the 18B's can steer you in the right direction.

It's not that hard to find,

Sportsmansguide.com has it. But then again there's not much they don't have.

7.62x54R has been easier to find than 7.62x39 lately, I don't know about cheaper, but it is at least easier to find.

Good times,
Blake

Thank you, The ammo is pretty cheap, something like $44.oo for 440 rds. I can not find magazines and what price I see is over $75.00. I was wondering if there were any unusual features or problems with the firearm.

I would have a gunsmith who knows what he is doing check it out, including the headspace.

The Soviets were slapping weapons together while the Nazis were at the door of the factories.

Some were well made, others , maybe not so well, and the rifle is old enough to draw Social Security, regardless.
