Ah Rick Rick!
The Tanchika is on my list, until now i got only the cousin, the rasak.
I think you have almost everything on my list!
Unfortunatly I will go to hell because I cleaned my rasak...

Hi Rick,
Well what can I say......you must have a warehouse full of these things!! Beautiful Tanchika.....and Kubur.....a beautiful Rasak. Yes, cleaned, but not overcleaned IMHO. It looks great!

Thanks Stu.
The iron should clean up nice with oil while still maintaining the patina.

Hi Kubur.
That's a nice looking Rasak! Doesn't look to over-cleaned for me either. And the Rasak is one of only a couple I don't have - yet. Interesting you never see trigger guards on Rasak long guns.

I have two more Tanchika long guns that I'll Post later. One is a shorter carbine length - that still had a load in the barrel when I received it!! I extracted the load and saved everything.
The other was made for a boy. Not a cut down carbine/pistol.
