What's the story with the 1949 dated rifles? Do they exist? Did anyone receive one?

-- they do exist, I believe, but are very " scarce ", ----- not many around, and very collectable !!

1949 is the year regular production started.

 

[BWEST]

Anybody else hear of any " New " outlets, ---- that are selling these Russians ???

 

[heavyBullet]

Can someone post some pics on how to use these sights? Where does the adjustment thingy need to be for 50, 100, 200 yards and so on. Atleast mine does not have any line indicating what range I am on.

Since you have not been responded to, I will give it a shot.

If I read this right, you have no numbers identifying the distances on the rear sight??? This would is weird, it should be numbered 1 through 10, one being 100 meters, and 10 representing 1000meters.

So if anyone found one they'd have bragging rights!

--- Yes, --- I would say so !!

--- Hey, Val, --- did you ever find any birch wood to try your stain on ?? wondering if you had started on that stock yet or not ??

Nope, I am gonna wait and see what Gary gets for SKS at the end of the month and if he has one I like better I will trade him. If not then I will figure out how to red mine!!!!!

O.K. -- thanks, Val -- Good luck with this, is this the place in Chilliwack you have talked about ???

 

[Valashnikov]

Yup, I will let everyone know as soon as they come in.

Its only been 6 hours since he said he's taking pics soon and cant wait.... maybe he had to set up lighting and stuff first which took longer than expected?

No I have the numbers I just dont know where the small moveable piece has to be in order to be on a certain distance.

 

[getthismanaslap]

Has anybody had the chance to fire the SKS ??? need feedbacks.or pic's
THANKS

yup i got 10 rifles in and they all shoot excellent.. my little brother shot a deer mouse at 25 yards today..cant remember the last time i laughed that hard..

 

[heavyBullet]

Well now ya do

 

[getthismanaslap]

one more thing. dont use automotive thinner on the stock or the bolt and bolt carrier. they are painted and the stock has lacquer on it..unless your intention is to do some stripping and personalizing all other metal parts clean up fast with the thinner..mine has minwax ebony stain strips and minwax red oak on the rest..pics for your pleasure..

 

[Ganderite]

Both the Frontier rifle "select" were 49's. can't shoot either one. Both are pristine and neither has a chrome barrel. No better than Yugos...

[Jericho]
