I ordered online on a Tuesday afternoon, and It arrived at my FFL dealer Friday morning. Really fast shipping from Buds. As for the rifle itself, WOW! I pulled it out of the shipping box and I was impressed at the condition for a 1943 Izhevsk Mosin. All numbers match except for the bayonet (as expected). The stock had 2 minor dings (hardly noticeable) and the finish looks great. Mine wasn't counter bored, and came with all accessories a Mosin normally comes with (sling, 2 ammo pouches, oil can, cleaning tools, etc.). The bore is in great shape too! As I was taking it apart, on the underside of the barrel there were 2 small areas of pitting, but nothing too bad (not enough Cosmoline... :-P). There was no other rust anywhere. This thing is ridiculously easy to take apart and clean! Not to mention, Buds customer service is fast and easy. They're very prompt via e-mail. All in all, this was a great buy for $140 and I will definitely be buying from Buds again!
