Went back to the gunshow to buy a $200 Chi-com Tokarev...some guy beat me to it by 30 seconds! Man I was mad! Started looking at the same guys gunrack and noticed a SAR-1 that wasn't there yesterday (there was a crappy MAADI in that spot) 2003 model...everything straight...hardwood stockwith a dark Russian look to it. Tagged at $350....went up to him, asked if he'd take $350 out the door...he said no, I shrugged my shoulders and turned to leave...he said hang on now, don't be so hasty....told him thats all I could go....he said YES! Too freaking cool! It has the usual scuffs here and there that most Romanians do...Cold blue will take care of that! Came with black sling...10 rd mag and a 40 round mag. Get a Blackjack buffer and I'm all set...I'm sooooo happy.
I traded my SAR-1 towards a VEPR K about 6 months ago and have been bummed ever since!
I now have a SAR-1 again...a SLR101S with the green furnature...and a VEPR K with the new "tactical stock!" :cool:
This has a smaller barrel tip than my last SAR-1 though...I don't know if it will be able to take a threaded brake when AWB expires but oh well.
