What is there not to love? Weird design, small cartridge, looks funny, slow to reload, horrible DA trigger pull, wonderful 1895 style open sights, and oh yes, the history. 1933 Tula production, matching numbers, finish around 80%, like new 1951 production holster and some odd ammo and brass for it.
Lets face it, this strange little gun went through Stalin's Purges AND WWII... I'm just getting rid of guns I don't use much, or have much use for. Sadly, this dear little stepchild of 20th Century Russian military arms has to go.
$89 w/holster, local Olympia pickup. OR trade???
Sorry no pics. Bore is dark but very strong rifleing. Shooting it is like a .22, fun little bugger. Wood grips.
