LugerDoc, thank you very much, this is exactly what i was looking for. I imagined that these guns might be common somewhere and that info on them would be available.

The price tag difference is also matching with price differences between the US prices and Argentinian prices so unfortunately there's no concern on that matter.

Do most of your former soviet imports come reblued also? And, if you say that usually the barrels are worn out what is the next step, find a replacement or keep looking for another one in better shape?

The ones i saw do have very ugly looking grips, look plastic and are plain black or checkered yellowish brown. Sound to me that we're talking about the very same batch of guns. What worries me now is that i'm no expert and would know if the parts are restamped and the guns reblued. That should probably not concern me too much since i'm looking for the best possible shooter but nevertheless now i'm a little worried.

Those soviet gun youre familiar with, are they shootable?

Thanks again,
