Decided to buy a curiosity - Drulov 75

[SlartyBartFast]

Might be crazy buying this sight unseen, but for better or for worse I'm now waiting for the authorities to authorise the transfer and for the seller to mail it to me.
One bolt action, single shot, Drulov model 75.
Original box, factory test target, manual all included.

You won't medal in a World Cup event with it, but enjoy.

Yep, that's a Drulov alright. Nice piece of Czechnology, solid as.

A popular, and nice upgrade is to solder a trigger shoe to the push button trigger.

Wasn't looking to start a collection. This just looked like a fun gun to try and this particular one seems in great shape compared to the one slightly rusty and neglected one I've seen before at a gun show.
Might make me feel bad using it thinking it should be a collector's item.

$250. Pretty happy with the price.

I've read a couple of threads around that suggested the same.

I won't be winning a World Cup event no matter what pistol you put in my hands. Just looking to have some fun and stand out as just a little more of an oddball at the local club.

Don't dry fire it. It's not a matter of if it will break the firing pin but when. I have one here with a broken pin that looks just like yours,box and all. 3rd dryfire snapped the pin.
