"I ask you to please be carefull with the compliments, we are not used to it....
Seriously, we are glad you are satisfied, I think you will agree they were worth the wait ?
Best Regards,

yes yes indeed it was worth the wait. And yes it has all matching numbers, I had no play in mine. oh and the cleaning kit was in the butt stock of mine. my wife showed me that, her dad and brother both own sks's, mine felt diffrent from theres. i thought it was just pride of ownership
also did you clean the rifles before putting the in the hardcase? i didnt notice "gobs" of cosmoline on mine. the wood felt really clean.
defenitly worth the wait and the price was just right. i almost dont want to shoot it cuse its so nice. but i will

what i was exspeting was a rifle that had alot of handling marks and dent scratches ect..
NOT the case here it is mint and i mean MINT. but for one little mark on the stock most likely from when it was put on the rack 50-60 years ago. like the scar on bonds face just above the right eyebrow, it adds a sertin distintion. i know when i see my rifle its mine.
also spent the little extra $10 and get the carry case, the cardboard was riped a little it was most likely droped a bit, but the rifle is great. the case is good aswell
btw what do u put in the little oil bottle? i use G96 on everything. collector peace I guess.
the tshirt is a frut of the loom heavy cotton 100% cotton 2XL fits me and i am almost 300 pounds. I would say the print on the shirt is equal to the Type 97 tshirt I own both, not a rifle i will bubba, it just looks pretty the way she is. but to save the wood stock i might buy a new stock for it latter
plus it has the marstar warnty
CP took 5 days to cross ontario to get me my rifle so if u dont have it yet just relax
i am not a pro, nor do i work for marstar. thuo that would be cool. the above is MY personal opinon, i can tell that i will be happy with this rifle for years to come.
