FINALLY...Now with crappy picts
« on: February 25, 2012, 02:42:10 PM »
I've got the two Rommys I've been lusting after in 10 day Kail Jail (9 and counting). A '59 & a '60, both rough looking which I guess is not uncommon. They're re-furbed with forced match, one has matching numbered stock, the others in a black Tapco (original furniture is cracked), bayos, no slings, rods, or kits. I'm happy. Also picked up 2 Glenfield 75 carbines configured a little differently from each other. Picts or it didn't happen, right! Maybe I'll just let yous guys and goils suffer....not. Before & afters comming. PAX
HERE THEY ARE! Apparently they're in typical condition for Romys. '60 top, '59 bottom. The '60s stock is cracked at the pistol grip and came in a black Tapco. I put it back in the OG wood for picts. The '59 seems the better of the two and I'll probably clean it up and leave it be, as it looks as if it's seen action. I'm a very happy camper, $548 for both (with an extra stock & the Tapco), which is good by Kali standards and very hard to find at those prices these days. The market here has gone crazy with the SKS baseline now at $400 and inventory thin. PAX

Rise from the dead and behold the necro thread. Just checked to see if the bucket killed these pictures. I've found some of my older posts still had pictures. PAX

PAX, always something to learn from necro threads... Can you tell me if there are any distinguishing features for Romy's other than detailed markings? I know Alby's have unique bolt handles and extended handguards.

I'm not really knowledgeable about any detail mechanical or production differences, other than they're made and finished very well. According to some fellas here, the tolerances are tight. The leather slings are unique, look great, and are usually expensive. I'd like an all matching one to fall in my lap  8).
Thanks guys, PAX

Romy's , I'm partial to the Romy's. Romy's were my very first venture into the side world. 89.00 dollars each. Have been hooked on the same since. Mismatched or not the Romy's are awesome. They are right on par with any refurb Russian. Nice acquisition!

For the money you spent those Romys are great.  The things that distinguish the Romy to me are the rich bluing & the inspector markings in the finger grooves.  I think the Romys are superior to all SKSs except for the Izhevsk SKS with regard to quality of milling & attention to detail.

Thanks Fellas,

I knew the visual would be the reincarnation of this thread. I've since found some correct slings and massaged the furniture a bit. At the time, I had to just decide to go for it when I acquired them. I'm soooo glad I didn't let them slip away. PAX

Hi kk,

I picked up a couple from those guys a few years ago. The cracked stock unit is wearing one these days, I think it has a rack number. PAX
