I ordered a 6 pack of M38's from Classic for $199 each, arriving by week's end. Interested to see what the condition is.
You wont find any hex on a M38, if you find one it will be a 91/59 or 91/38... and those are keepers just not M38's....They're sold out. Mine shipped today (impressive). Anyone else grab one? Said they only got 5 originals in. Unfortunately, there were no Tula or hex receivers.
Has Hammer and Sickle, so Izhevsk?

Tula has the star and arrow on the receiver above the serial number. Izhevsk is a triangle.
Both Tula and Izhevsk have hex receivers.
I thought that too at first, but according to this, there are hex receivers for the M38. They're just rare.
If you get one dont shoot it! squirrel it away, and get on a surplus rifle forum and see if you can get $600 for it... if not keep it as an oddity,
When honey island opens again we need a mosin meet and shoot..maybe some trading can be done too
I will have at least 2 T53's a nice M44, and hopefully I will be getting a M39 soon (91/30's dont strike my fancy) and right now I have about 700 round of surplus ammo... up for some volley fire with the carbines? (the only time I was at Honey Island my friend had a M44 next to me, when we shot at the same time people just stopped and stared lol)An excellent idea. I've got another 91/30 and this M38 on its way. Need to get some shooting in. If God ever stops reminiscing about Noah and the Ark at Honey Island...
