You have to host the pic on a third party site like imgur or photobucket, then you can embed it to the post.
Oh joy, oh joy. And then you mean any dummie can post a pic on CGN?

I don't think he's a dummy, he's obviously new.... unless you knew how everything in CGN worked when you first joined
Ohhh, I can think of 5 or 6 thousand reasons...
Buy once, cry once.
It makes more sense to save up for an actual AK if that's what you really want. An SKS dressed up to be an AK is never going to be more than a money pit that is still an SKS at the end of the day.
No it's really not
You guys... Lol
Both are wood stock, semi-autos that throw .30 cal chunks of metal at the same speed with the same accuracy.
You CANNOT tell me there's $5,000 dollars worth of difference there.
The "buy once cry once" philosophy is typically reserved for situations where the consumer risks over paying (in cash or sweat equity) by buying cheap and having to spend more on it than had he/she purchased the better model in the first place. It absolutely does not apply in this situation where the better gun has literally no difference aside from asthetics and an offensive price tag.

Basically running them side by side, the Valmet is a vastly superior gun in all configurations. The SKS is alright for what it is, but that's like saying a mini-van is ok compared to a nice 4x4... both are good in their own right, just one is significantly better in all ways and has the edge in almost all, aside from weight.
The price tag is high because of our weird laws, but valmets are nonetheless cream of the crop as far as both modern designs and build quality. The Finns didn't mess around when it came to designing a very robust functional rifle, or putting in the effort to get it right.
For those wondering, this was the link. I think the guns he was talking about were at the bottom of the page. Don't know if it counts as competition to dealers so breaking the link.

To make anything vaguely similar to an AK you'd need to fab up a lower to replace the missing wood stock and attach butt stock and handguards to that. Personally I think dressing up an SKS is a waste of time, but hey, whatever tickles your fancy.

Because a SKS starts at 200, not 3500
