I would check SOG. Right now they have 82s for $189. If you add the $10 hand pick, your looking at the same price as wideners for the same thing, but you have the peace of mind that you got the hand pick. Another plus is that you won't have to pay sales tax on the gun from SOG like you do at wideners. My knock on Wideners is that they don't offer hand select and they don't take returns like Southern Ohio Gun. I did order a 82 from Wideners and it is nice with minimal wear on the slide. Good luck!

@johnwilliams5721 if you can find a cheap m44 stock, you could have a good lookin piece. Regarding Omega, I might try to order a T53 from them at some point, but not now. I ordered a T53 from SOG last week, and I chose the hand pick for $10. In the comment box, I asked for numbers matching, I get an email a day later that they have no # matching T53s and then they asked if I wanted to continue the order or cancel. So I told them if they could give me a numbers matching M44 I would take it. I could not be happier with my purchase. It's a 1944 Izzy, all numbers match, and the best part of it all is that my M44 is an absolute nail driver. I'm thinking about orderering a M24/47 from SOG, I am very pleased with their customer service to say the least.

Hey guys I was thinking about getting a type 53 carbine from Omega Weapons Systems. Has anyone ordered one from there? The owner said that the guns are in fair shape, so I am not expecting a beauty queen, but would you guys order one? I'm really looking for a shooter, and for the price ($65) it might be worth it. I noticed SOG and Classic Arms have them in for $149, but I don't even know if they would be worth the extra money. What are yalls experiences with this m44 clone? Thanks guys.

ok thanks guys, my bound book is on the way.

I sent off my application for my C&R license on November 16th, and received it on December 7th. I thought you were supposed to get a packet additionally that had information about the license and what not. I heard that it sometimes takes longer to get this packet, but a month? What you guys think?

hey thanks for the welcomes, guys. I have a Mosin nagant 91/30, a Remington 870, a M57 Tokarev, a Savage 64 .22, a Rohm .22 revolver, and a Colt Official Police .38 Special. I am also looking for a sks, Mosin Nagant Carbine, Mausers, etc. My C&R is being processed so I can't wait!

I noticed you said you got it a Jfloyds. I was thinking about going up there tomorrow to see if they have any mosin carbines. did you see any? not trying to hijack your thread, but i have also never had any problems with my mosin's headspace
