I was driving by one of my local pawn shops and decided to check it out . I saw what I thought was a k98 and it was a RC 44 dot in a nice 135 waA stock ,nice bore . I was afraid to flip the tag when I did it was 229.00 , I said I will take it , funny thing was it was sitting next to a bunch of mosin M 44 at 275.00 each .
