Russian SKS45 long thread.

The stamp on the left of the magazine looked old to me, that's what made me think it was there to begin with until I read about those stamps in curttons sticky.
Looks can be deceiving.
SIR/Cabelas must have stamped that V on the receiver.
That V stamp looks new.

thanks nort , it was interesting to see a non-spring bolt also works in a 1950 .

you can tell the SN on the side the mag was not stamped at the same time as the SN was stamped on the receiver, the fonts are different , especially the 3 and 1 .
 
If all of the new ones coming into the country are Franken Pinned, The non Franken Pinned ones from the last shipment will be the only true collectors on the market.

Hold on to the ones that have not been mutilated.
 
Well I finally got my SKS from SIR and was not really impressed action and bolt shroud are the only matches everything else is force matched so I cleaned it up grabbed a few boxes of silver tiger and off I went to the range the trigger was heavy but it broke clean and I was happy when the first shot hit the target then the next hit right beside it and the third on top of the first three shots were in a triangle around an inch then the group opened up to around an inch and three quarters well she looked allot sweeter now funny ?
