SKS from Canada Ammo?

[thegrandpoohbah]

Looking at the Russian SKS + 1200 rnd non-corrosive ammo deal at Canada Ammo. Who has one of these and can attest to the quality of the SKS that they carry?

I have one, you get what they pick so it's a surprise lol. I got a 1951 Tula, hardwood, non chrome lined, parkerized finish in nice refurb condition. The receiver is nice and tight in the stock, it shoots nicely. The stock was sanded during refurb so it needs a coat of shellac but I don't care as it was so bloody cheap. Had a small issue with it stove piping the occasional last round but that seems like a pinning issue with the mag I've figured out how to fix. I'm more than happy with what I got for the price of the combo, it's a definite shooter and I have a nice clean blued laminate if I want something pretty to shoot. I'll see if I can find a pic of it, I posted it somewhere in a thread.

Here are some photos. Things brightened up down the pipe after I scrubbed it with a brass brush after cosmoline removal and again after putting 200 rounds through it.

Thats interesting, I've never seen that printing on the barrel. Anyone know the story with that?

molot import 2013.
not as nice as the ukrainian imports.
they all seem to be bbq painted,import marked,belt sanded stock,rod pinned to follower and mismatched mags.
they are more `grade B`than the Ukraine imports but they should shoot o.k.

Russia will not export surplus guns, they have to be re-"manufactured"

Yes, but try and tell that to all the guys with their "unfired, unrefurbed, unissued" SKS's.

Correct, being a refurb they shoot as good as the next sks lol.

349 for the combo is pretty decent!I want one but I dont need one!!

 

[Cb750k]

$349 is a smoking deal for what you get, that's on sale from the reg $399 price. I might have to order a third one lol.
