    I like the sks snipers-what sort of long range performance could we expect from one and what kind of match 7.62x39 ammo can we expect to see?? Does Lapua make any or maybe even some federal gold medal match? If anyone knows of ammo that would really showcase the potential of this platform I'd love to hear about it!!!

    With the sniper version you can actually hit the side of a barn 95% of the time. You can get some match grade Norinco, it comes in crates.
    I like guns....

    Obviously you are not aware what is going on in the world of surplus firearms . You are not aware about bans on export from Ukraine. You are not aware about political and financial situation in Ukraine. Are you aware of war that going on ? If you don't like westrifle.com it is your choice. We have been exporting firearms and ammunition since 2004 so we kind of know what is going on over there and we have contracts signed up to 2018.
    If there is nothing special how come we are still getting Sks and Mosin into the country and there is no other dealer that brought any from Ukraine in the past year.
    Now Lugansk factory. I know exactly what is going on there. It is civil war. Factory is not operational because all the people that worked there had to move to Russia or other parts of Ukraine. Equipment is hidden and once war is over everything is going to become available again. I hold exclusive agreement with Lugansk and I also pay every year to have them authorized in Canada.

    Just Said good bye to the Canpar guy. Had the box open before he got out f the driveway. Rifle looks real nice. I'd agree that it looks unissued. Still has sawdust embedded in the cosmo under the gas tube cover. Also do not see any wear at all on the bolt components. I know that some of these parts could be changed, but there are also no refurb marks I can find.
    There are a couple of dings/scratches in the stock, looks like from going in/out of a crate. Bore is chromed, super-shiny even with some cosmo in it. Might be the shiniest bore I've ever seen.

    Will do a short review thread at some point with pics before and after cleanup.

    Oh, and I'll be shooting it. Probably stay away from corrosive, but I own guns to shoot them.
    If everyone gets one like this, they all should be very happy.

    I wonder if you guys go there to pick those rifles at the spot. Might be very dangerous business these days, if so. Though, the collector value of those might go up, as those rifles were brought from a war zone. Bring them more, please. May be it will make less chances that those weapons will get into bad hands over there and end someone's life.

    I guess the technical problem could be that Lugansk has proclaimed itself as a separate country/republic and don't want to be called Ukraine any more. Hence the contracts might become not legit from the prospective of Lugansk People Republic laws (if it ever has such). So, lets hurry up to buy those SKS while they last.
