So there are some here in town and I am trying to decide if I want to wait on the Frontier ones or get one now. My own hand select. This really sucks. I put aside one that has 1950 on the top and another from 1954. I have a few days to secide. Argh, I hate decisions.

Heck Val,get em all!! You can always thin out the herd later when they're worth more.
 
WTF So the original dealers Frontier & SIR still have not started shipping .Yet other dealers have them in stock & been selling for over a week now ????????
AT HIGHER PRICES naturally . How the hell did that happen ????
I wonder what condition SIR & Frontiers are going to be compared to the ones already being sold ?
 
I know, this is awful. The one I put away is a Tula, I believe, 1950, non-laminated stock. I've gone through so many today my brain is garbled. But I can't remember if the refurb mark is on it. Aaaaah! The stock is pretty good, just a few wee dings. Aaaaaah!!

Alright.. if they're selling for around the same Frontier is, you might as well buy the ones from Chilliwack. If they cost a lot more than at Frontier, don't buy it.
If they cost just a little more... just wait it out, Frontier's order's gonna be here soon. I had to decide if I wanted to wait for my SIR order to come in, but decided not to. I don't think SIR will get theirs for quite a while longer. All I need now is ammo... if anybody here knows where I can buy some surplus crates for less than 190.. let me know.

Well here is two things to consider. The 1950 will probably have a spring loaded firing pin (thats a good thing) but it may also NOT be chrome lined. I have a 1950 so the info I am giving you is based on mine.

I wish mine came with a spring loaded firing pin... I'm thinking of changing out the one I have in my unissued.
 
A firing pin with a return spring is a nice feature, and was only available from 1949 mid 1951. Like I said, its nice, but not really necessary. Just keep your firing pin nice and clean and dry, so it rattles when you shake the bolt body, and you will never have a problem.
