Heads up if you're looking for a Russian SKS

[RMXC51]

First let me say I'm not a schill or affiliated with the business in any way. Just want to give people who may be looking for non refurbs of certain years a heads up, and maybe get these rifles a good home before Bubba ruins them.

Brandon Home Hardware has a crate of non refurb Tulas open. Dates are 1950, 1951, 1953 and 1955. Price is $179.99

By Bubba, do you mean "TACTI-COOL?"

Yes it's the concave rivet that's typical these days. Not frankenpin but not the tiny button rivet on the latest Chinese imports either.

Since I got into firearms as a history nut, I have a totally different word for it.

Seeing as this is a Home Hardware retailer, do they ship throughout the country?

 

[sovereignright]

That is hilarious! SKS is now being offered in hardware and building stores near you! :-D

Like milsurps used to be years ago. Enfields in a open drum. Take your pick for under 50 bucks each. Home Hardware used to do that all the time back in the day.

They will, I think. Here's the 2 I bought yesterday, with my helper. They've just had a basic wipedown, they'll look even better once the cosmo has sweated out and they've been properly cleaned.

 

[Redlight35]

I hope they have some left when I come through there in 2 weeks....

I'm going to be the fly in the ointment here, but judging by the blotchy finish, these are definitely Refurbs and not good ones at that.

I always thought the SKS had a magazine exemption, not unlike the M1, but for it's fixed 10-round mag

Ah, we SKS owners only wish.

One with a gold bayonet, too.

You lucky bastage!!!!!

Which one does your "helper" get?

 

[RMXC51]

Him and his little brother will have to fight it out to see who gets what when I croak!

Here's the '50. Aside from them being reddish amber instead of the deep red normally associated with non refurbs, I'd love to hear how Grizzly Adams comes to the conclusion that these are poor quality refurbs:

 

[The Kurgan]

Looking good... and the gold bayonet certainly looks like dried cosmo.
Nice shipment, you did well. I'm looking for a 1950 non-refurb... perhaps I'll give them a call!

Grizz, I am guessing that you're kidding.
Those are definitely non-refurbs! And the finish on those stocks looks great!

I was going to say. Didn't see any refurbs marks at all. That "finish" is how they originally came.
