Bargains still to be found. While listed as "mismatched", the bolt not only matched itself, it also matched that pesky little number on the back of the bayonet lug. Dropped out as second from last bidder... running out of room in the closet and I have a nice Nagoya already. Congrats to winner!

It looks like the bolt has a 6 or 9 on it. I don't even see a picture of the bayonet lug. Did you get additional pictures?

Asked the seller. TK Longs are matched by assembly number; most sellers list them as mismatched when they aren't because they are looking at receiver SN. Bolt and bayonet lug number is 296. Number on lug is on back edge and not the bottom flat where it normally appears. I have gotten several matching TK longs listed as mismatched this way over the years.

Dang, I missed that one I'm still waiting on my "Christmas Gamble" to see if I bought a matching rifle.

Decent rifle, shows what a 'slow' economy can do for prices.

I am the winner of that auction. Figured I'd take a shot on the bolt matching the assy #. Rifle looked decent enough, but pics weren't very good. Still, I gambled. Although my getting it and finding matching #'s surprise is now ruined{thanks Brad}, I'll sleep better tonight!
I'll post pics when it gets here.

I think it will clean up very well. Tried to send you a congrats right after you won it, but the spammers and scammers have ruined the open communication.

Pod marks

Yes, I bookmarked that item, looked very clean and probably should have bought, I live half hour from seller. Did you see the pod marks on that example. Unfortunately, don't think I've ever seen a long for sale with the pod. Still like the "extras" Adog will get with the sling and bayo better!

 

[gabemojay]

Thanks Brad. My old computer and old eyes being as they are, I'm still not sure if it has the AA wings. Did notice the pod marks though.

 

[BradB]

Correct AA wings (notched on both sides) are there from what I see.
