Oops, I just realized that I was thinking about the Centerfire sale (my mental needle is skipping to replay the same track again it seems), but actually replying to a query about Classic Arms. I thought Classic has been fairly good about listing which variation of Romy they are offering on their web page? (And I recall several Romy listings on their run-on home page). It looks like currently they are offering various (package) permutations of the MV and the GP Romys. Pretty sure I have seen those listed in addition to the 10/63 at other places (J&G lists the WASR10, 10/63M, and GP75 in the fixed stock variations today). Too many variations/model designations. Can anyone define the exact differences between the "standard" WASR10, the 10/63 (and what's the new "M" suffix for?), the MV, and the GP75? (I know the GP75 was touted for a while, and I believe that the claim has been made that the 10/63 are from unissued disassembled (reserve/civil guard?) rifles, and the MV is supposed to be an abbreviation for "Military Version" or somesuch?)

Whether it was as good a deal as I think it was remains to be seen, but I think the best deal Centerfire had going in their recent/current ad was the Yugo folders for $449. Note I'm using the past tense. I ordered one just before midnight Monday night, when they listed only having 9 still in stock (it changed to 8 right after I placed my order). By Tuesday morning when I checked, even the link to the page for ordering them was gone. I was tempted by the AMD-65 for $399, but those seem to be around in quantity and the price on them has been dropping for a while with the panic dying down. Not sure how many more Yugos we'll see entering the market (I believe the next best deal I spotted on them was $499 somewhere or the other and JG appears to have them for sub-$500 now). I should be able to pick mine up at my transferring FFL this afternoon, since it now shows "out for delivery". :D

(I didn't want to spend the money, but sometime you just gotta eat catfood and canned beans for a month to make something happen, ya know?)
