Spanish M43

[Talquin]

I just picked up a Spanish M43 in great condition. Numbers matching everywere from what I have seen , bore is in great shape (8/10) would be my guess.

Stock needs a bit of clean up but nothing major other than some grime and a few dents.

What I am missing though is a sling, a bayonet, and a cleaning rod. Any recommendations as to a location to get these?

Also why did they put two sets of sling swivels on these?

You could find the sling, bayonet, cleaning rod on ebay and gun shows. Im not sure why they have the 2 sling swivel, even the czech vz 24 have the 2 sling swivel.

Nice score,you must have picked it from Billybob's table.
There were 2 Spanish and 1 Brazilian if I'm not mistaken?
How about some pics

OOPs, so sorry, thought you were at the gun show in Chilliwack. A guy had 2 of them; I thought you scooped one....
