Russian SKS45 long thread.

go ahead and shoot a non-refurb/unfired and regret it after.

I think I'm gonna take your advice there Currton.
I still haven't confirmed if mine is unfired though.

Never regretted shooting any of my guns . If you are buying them for a investment then don't even clean it ( especially in a dish washer) & stash it away for a couple of yrs . But I don't think you will be able to quit your day job & retire on it .

Contrary to what others are saying it is not a crime to shoot a unfired SKS .
These are not the Holy Grail of firearms

I agree. If it were a crime, they'd be selling them for alot more than 200 bucks!

i dont think you know how rare the non-refurb/unfired are . but hey , dont let me stop you and i thank you bcos there will be one less rare russian SKS around so mine will be worth more .

OMG! I am so confused....

Don't do it Valash.

 

[Curtton]

OMG! I am so confused....

sorry val... please reread my sticky , go to C. collecting . it will hep you decide .

basicly what im saying is , if you wanna enjoy shooting your russian then a shooters grade will do the job for less .

 

[Valashnikov]

I almost want to buy two now. What are you doing to me???? Aaaaaah!

I bought two... man I've spent way too much. I bought a Glock 17 too not too long ago. I want my last SKS to arrive, and a Sig P226... then I'll call it a day for the next 8 months.

 

[Valashnikov]

I might just wait until I get it and if it something super special then I will not shoot it and decide from there. If it's just a regular Russian type one that is not super special then I will just shoot it. But the thing is, I am buying this for me to enjoy so I might just shoot it anyways. Argh.

Just get the cheaper one then.

 

[Valashnikov]

But I want to shoot the perfect one. And it is only $40.

That doesn't leave you with much of a choice then. lol

 

[Curtton]

in that case , there is no point of me tell you its not $40 but $69 . hand select do not include ship .

im getting my refurb from SIR for $165 .

 

[Valashnikov]

I have my quote from them already for the gun and ammo. It's not too bad.

 

[lone-wolf]

I almost hope mine is ugly and a refurb now. I have no idea what our local guy is getting in. Refurbs, not refurb, or a mix. No idea.

 

[smartbomb]

Hey Curtton, you might know the answer to this.
How's using 99% Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning cosmoline or any other crud off an SKS?

 

[Woodbeef]

Miss Valashnikov,with all due respect Ma'am,you'll soon learn that owning an SKS is like owning a Husqvarna,you can never have just one or two. That darned monkey is always on your shoulder whispering in your ear..........
