I believe the only gotcha is having the magazines loaded when they are stored on the butt stock, I was told the DEC may consider this a "loaded" rifle. Not a penal issue but the game warden could jam you up. YMMV.
I've got a Tula PU, just can't seem to part with it.....especially seeing as I paid $500 for it back in the day and the going rate seems to be @ $1500-2000 these days. Sorry
I see a few for sale on the interwebs, but be careful because there's a lot of fakes out there. Good luck on your quest!
