I know both rifles are S/147G Type III's. The first rifle is an 'f' block, but which block is the second rifle?
Sadly both are RC's, but upon receiving the goodies with each rifle (2x Original K98 Pouches, 1x Original K98 12" cleaning rod, Late RG34 Cleaning Chain, and a WWII Mosin Oiler and Tool), I realized that the theory behind K98 cleaning rods being melted down during the refurb process was bogus and that most of the rifles, simply didn't come with the rods because they are sitting somewhere in storage.
I also picked up a DOU 45 and it even had one of the original capture screws and one of the other RC's even had the original site hood???
I know they aren't matching but still three rifles with less common codes.
What made the trip worse was that they had three SVT's on the rack as well. 2x Podolsk 1941 rifles without rails and 1x Izzy 1941 without rails (which means that all three SVT's are scarce and were produced during the last month of production at both factories. I just couldn't resist the group purchase.
