1949 sks

[rethius]

Are all of your 1949 rifles BBQ paint? Do you have any parkerized or blued?

 

[Reddcarr]

I've had 3 originals blued, hardwood stocked, numbers matching, untouched other than the frankenpinned mag. Only have one now.

 

[westrifle]

I will add more of them to website today.
Thank you

You can always spend another $15 from a sponsor and get an internally pinned mag!

You could get three for 600$ only 2 years ago. Are these from Иосиф Сталин 's personal security detail? Or am I missing something?

That defeats the entire purpose of a numbers # SKS and hard to find year, especially when the importer is too lazy/doesn't want to get them properly pinned. It would be like buying a motorcycle that rather than having a speed limiter on it, has a anchor lazily chained to it because the dealer doesn't want to spend an extra little bit of effort to set it up properly.

The welded mags really pulls the value of a sks down for me... to pin them is the way to go!

That is the way they did it back in the day, if you want a 1949, this is it, at least for now!

What? "Back in the day", you know these are coming in "Fresh" from overseas and they are doing this pinning before sending them here right?

BBQ paint franken pinned mismatched mag...

 

[rethius]

But then again... better than with a UN mark on it

I don't think so, I am pretty sure these are old stock, not positive but Westrifle can say, why would they still be welding when there are 3 or more different methods!

I tried looking to see if there were Molot marks on them which would indicate fairly new imports, but the pic is on the wrong side!
