Damn!
You and DAR are not gonna force me into another collection frenzy....
Dave, you are rapidly falling behind! Quit fixin' them old domestics and start stockpiling guns!
eureka!!! got my 1949 from westrifle .
its a refurb 1949, you can clear tell the wood isnt original, the original SN been sanded off and new SN restamped. they cut the groove longer with a hand tool to accommodate the longer spike.
im glad they left the original factory marking, the inspection mark on the right buttstock and also manage to leave one mark around the crossbolt.
top cover and trigger group has glossy black paint unlike the rest of the metal which is lightly painted black but textured, not bad looking.
love the cruciform spike bayo.
overall very pleased. thanks westrifle.

I think that cutting the mags in half is worse than franken pinning them or blocking them in some fashion, at least for the already scarce SVT 40 mags
Don't get me wrong, I still appreciate the quality of what Westrifle has - Not meant as an attack just a comment from the peanut gallery!
Just received my SKS 1949 this morning Very pleased with my purchase, here somes pics.

Bolt&carrier seem to have been sandblasted, still sand in the extractor....
[/IMG]
The rifle have been painted except the gas tube,the buttplate and the bayonet seem blued too.

Rear sight is grey.

The pic doesnt do justice but the non chrome bore is very good+
[/IMG]
Complete rifle disasembled and cleaned
[/IMG]
We can see that the stock was a blade bayonet type modified for the spike bayonet.

Overall very pleased with my new SKS,alls the main composants match. Westrifle provided a great support, thankyou! its shame that thoses 1949 where repainted during refurb, they would look so nice blued but they are still great looking with their spike bayonet. Now i will have to buy a 1950,1951,1952,1954,1955

"Now i will have to buy a 1950,1951,1952,1954,1955" Do you want all 5 in the same time
Just joking
Thank you for your purchase everyone.
Never make jokes about that, anything can happen
Well,seriously, i would like to buy some more before year end
I just got mine today, very happy with the rifle. I think I might still go over the stock, but the rifle itself is in "wicked-awesome" (to be technical) condition.
I'm happy enough that I was going to post a new thread in the "Wanstalls Section" just to state how happy I am, but I found this one instead.
Curtton, I'm pretty sure I have that stud on my magazine, but I JUST put her to bed in the safe, so I'll check to be sure tomorrow.

i just noticed something different about my 49 mag , it doesnt have a stud for the main spring protruding on the outside (see below), do you guys have the same on your 49?
I have the stud on my 2 1949 and they have their original mags. Could the stud of your being welded inside instead of riveted? 1 questions for you guys that bought 1949, are you going to shoot them? Since they are refurb, i dont think that will hurt the value but what do you think?
