This all matching Tula was made sometime in mid-1950 (see the arrow on the body cover), and has never been through the refurbishment process. All components appear original to the carbine. It has seen almost no use, and the non-chromed barrel is as new. It has a beautiful blue finish, with two tone body cover.
The bolt and carrier, trigger group, magazine and body cover are stamped matching. The gas piston and gas cylinder are EP matching as per original manufacture.
The birch wood stock is a two piece model (toe splice), and has a deep red shellac finish. The proof, Tula Star/1950 serial number stamps were all applied after the initial shellac. The fore end has no reinforcement pin. The bayonet channel fits the bayonet snugly, and ends in a distinct point, unlike the later stocks.
The gas chamber, rear sight base, lower stanchion, trigger group and gas piston are of early pattern.
The bolt carrier has the straight cut stripper clip guide. The bolt has the firing pin with spring. As can be seen in the photos, they have seen almost no use.
There is only a very slight amount of wear to the bluing inside the receiver, indicating minimal use.
This outstanding example came into my possession direct from the Russian shipping crate (in fact, I have the crate). A big thanks to the staff at Ellwood Epps Sporting Goods in Orillia, Ontario. Hope you enjoy the pics, and your comments are welcome!
