Black M44 - Bubba or ????

Well i will leave it alone for now. I dont mind the blackened look and it has a great trigger break and smooth action.

I shall name her Black Bogdana!

Leave it, shoot it, enjoy it - you can always refinish it at any point in the future if you need to.

Be cool if the original owner could be tracked down.

The guy i got it from said he bought it from some russian guy out of toronto who was supposedly really into russian variants.

I used to own that rifle. Sold it to a Russian member here in 2006 or so. Bought it in 2005 from Adhominem for a whopping $185 sans bayo. It was black then and if memory serves the now deceased former owner of that shop, he got it like that from the distributor in the mid 90's. Made one hell of a fireball shooting the Hungarian heavy ball I got from districorp.

Ha! Gotta love CGN and the corprate memory here. Thanks!

I knew it was legit.

Back in the early 90's there were black painted SKS' being advertised for sale. The ads were in the Gun Runner.

Alright....now I need to find some old issues of Gun Runner to see what was said about the black SKS's!

Thanks

Did not come through us

I remember reading that they were sold by a highly reputable Canadian vendor so naturally I assumed it was you.
