Anyone with pics of early 1950 Russian Tula sks with 1949 likness

[Dirty shorts]

May be interested in the near future on purchasing a 1950 with 1949 similarities, eg. 90 degree gas block and especially the hand scribed year on the dust cover. I would like to see any pics you have, also if you want to discuss anything about these rifles even if your not interested in selling, thanks.

Thanks for the pics, nice rifle, any idea how many are out there?

No, but some guys say less than 1949! Don't know how true that is.

I took a interest in 50's after buying a 50 with all 49 features. This one cannot be confirmed as original as there has been no other documented in North America. Stock has been replaced but it is made for a spike bayonet.

This one was the subject of debate on two different forums. It is still undetermined if it is a 1949 gun with a 1950 replacement cover or if it is indeed a 1950 manufactured carbine. There are strong arguments for both sides.
