Well I have to say today was a great day. My handpicked frontier sks showed up at the door, and what a beaut it is! Thanks Marlin! Turns out to be a 54 Tula refurb with all matching numbers including the laminate stock and extractor with a bright shiney bore. I was happy to see the lam.stock serial numbers match the rifle with no previous numbers on it, or anywhere else that have been Xed out. All original and doesn't look fired! There is a God. Cheers Pete
