Got mine yeaterday:
1944
M44 stock (couple dings an scrapes but it's acceptable)
Bore = excellent
Though I might need to shim the stock as the barrel appeared to wiggle (whole receiver not just the barrel) and appeared loose in the stock. A quick check of the action screws solved my problem. They were rattling loose
Tightened and away she went.
Came with mosin tool and oil bottle / cleaning tools.
I was hoping for the ammo pouches and the sling.
(Anyone wanna sell me a sling?)
Overall very pleased for 250 bucks.

Any pics? Damn, I already own these same rifles, (minus the M38, although I do have a pristine laminate M44), and I'm still getting excited about that killer "5 pack" deal Tradex is offering...

UPS did the same... I waited home ALL DAY in anticipation as to not miss them. It was clearly marked "delivery by end of day" and left Barrie at 6 this morning. Checked the online tracking, and guess what.... my package is back in Barrie and "delivery by end of day" marked for tomorrow now; when I WONT be home.

Mine too. Everyone should check this prior to taking these out.
DAMN!!! I stopped into SFRC on my way to work today and had to pick up another!!! Got a really nice IZZY 1943 in the proper great condition 38 stock with a great bore and all matching stamped numbers! They have some really great looking ones with either M44 wood stocks, M44 laminate stocks or original M38 stocks. Didn't see any with dates other than 1943 or 1944 from the couple I looked at.

I watched the video.
That mosin shoots no better than my PU's.
I get it - it's a scout style set up - but for the money all that costs (especially with the leupold) I'd buy the best real PU (refurb) I could find - as the investment will pay off and shoot the same.
To each their own

yes you are right!!! lots of money invested in that set up. im just impressed with the accuracy and performance of the mosin!!! in that video.
lol..I am doing the same thing. Just got a shipping notification that my M38 is on the way...I am a very happy camper.
I already hate UPS from international shipments and theyre retarded fees. But I called in today to have them leave my package at the Orillia store so I can pick it up - was told they cant until theyve made at least 1 delivery attempt. I told them thats retarded, considering theyre driver had the package in Orillia yesterday, and decided to take it back to Barrie before attempting to deliver it.
And now today, they decided to leave that truck with my package in it, in Barrie and not even bother trying to come to Orillia. So now my package is marked 23rd, by the end of the day; Funny how it started at 19th by the end of day.

I sure hope mine arrives as a true M38 with the proper stock. I got a nice 1925 hex 91/30 from them a couple of years back and it's great.
Hoping....hoping.

I hear ya, seems to be a few guys on here getting the "real deal". One can only hope and wait in painful angst.
Lol so true............according Canada Post tracking mine should be here on the 27th...fingers crossed.
1940 Tula M38 pics
Here are some pics of my 1940 Tula m38 I got in my five pack from Trade-Ex, my M91/30 was a very nice 1925 Hex Tula with MO markings and both have excellent bores.
