    I already own a 49 slight refurb. and a 49 with major refurb. Saw a 50 with 90 degree port, spike bayonet and proper lever for receiver cover. Snapped it up, waiting now for shipment from Westrifle.

    I think those are more rare than 49's!

    I just got mine and it looks "meh Ok". The only thing that is not matching is the gas tube (electro penciled 140 digits off). Definitely has pitting on some of the metal. My biggest complaint is the bayonet groove in the stock is not very well done. It honestly looks like a teenager did it in shop class with a circular saw. Anyone else get one please check and see if yours is as rough as mine.

    I received my 50 SKS. Stock is laminate and not stamped (knew this before purchase) and the gas tube is not stenciled(no big deal). Best part is all matching numbers, original bluing, spike bayonet and 90 degree port. Also laminate stock is same design as original birch stock. This carbine was included in Westrifle's $400.00 special.

    That is a fair price, did they have more than one?

    I had checked the 49s first and the last carbine they had for sale was the 50(only one). I had heard of the early production of 50s with 49 traits, but have never seen one, other than on internet. At that time there were some good 49s for sale but since I had 2 already, it was a no brainer to grab the 50. Nice addition to my collection. Plus Westrifle had their $15.00 discount for CGN members. It would have been nice to have original stock, but I would sooner have a excellent laminate stock rather than a cracked or damaged birch stock.

    Yes and someone on the red rifle threads said the laminate stocks that were contoured similar to the original birch spike bayo were rare too, I would have taken one in that condition for $400. I have the 1950 but with blade bayo, it does have the hole in the dust cover lever! I will keep my eye out on the Westrifle site for another! If you have pics, please post them!
