SKS found in a river.. amazing restoration

[Big Bad]

I tipped my Enfield out of a canoe once but a piece of stove pipe as a reverse perascope and a pocket fisherman and it was found in 15 feet of water. It hat one up the throat though (safety on) so it has hooked on the sling just in case by my buddy's. I was tucked in a sleeping bag warming up. I learned to pit a lanyard of some sort on after that but fortunately never needed it. And I did have on a Mustang Floater Coat as well

First useful function of a Pocket Fisherman I've ever heard of.

Bolt hold open. Under the bridge. Most likely it was "lost" from the window of the passing car.

but a piece of stove pipe and Saran Wrap with duct tape as a reverse perascope and a pocket fisherman and it was found in 15 feet of water.

That, my friend, is what we call "resourceful".

So now old Billy will be sending his cronies to scour the lakes and riverbeds looking for our guns that we lost in all those canoe tipovers and boating accidents.

Don't give the fool ideas, he'd drain the Great Lakes looking for one.

That hole in the gas tube with stop it from cycling. But I wonder what the inside of the barrel is like? Like some have said a few new parts and it should go bang. May not hit the side of a barn but it should go bang. Lots of pitting.

While I see the guy has time on his hands, I just can't for the life of me figure out why he would waste his time on it. Most of the ancillary parts are rusted out, and the stock looks like garbage. I would have tossed it back in the lake and bought a $400 refurb if I needed another SKS.

I guess, but, hell, there are many many nice milsurps out there that could use some tlc, and actually be worth shooting again.

The gun is f@cked... But I'd never heard of magnet fishing and it got me interested enough to do some reading. Sounds like guns are the 'grail' ... He did it for the trophy.
