Bought mtself a russian SKS

shoor do gots a perdy bang stick:D....Me, i'd shoot it if for no other reason than to zero it in and to see how it performs...But that's me....i'm sick,stricken with a strange disorder that prevents me from leaving my guns alone...they call to me..."shoot me!...I know your busy but you can make some range time" Beware the condition is highly contagious and will be contracted at the range. There is no cure or inoculation,but at least it's not terminal:D

I probably wont shoot it ..
the thought of handing it down to my son after im gone. it may be close to 100 years old by then , and i think that would be pretty cool ...
I will most definatly get another one, and it will be a collector grade .
I will look them both over and decide witch one to shoot ...
if i cant find another collector, then ill just get a refurb for now.
they are so cheap i dont care if i have to buy 3 more of them ...to get one for shooting...

Must be noted that some refurbs seems only to have the stock changed and renumbered. I just got a 54 and a 55 from fellow weirmajack, they have both renumbered stock and only the 55 have a refurb mark. After field stripping and very close inspection,both rifle show no wear of any kind, even hammer face are spotless. With soviet sks, anything can be, if a rifle even almost new have some dings on the stock, they taken whatever stock and cancel the old number and restamp a new one and then they punch a refurb mark on the cover even if the rifle was not reblued or having any other parts replaced. the point is even if mines have stocks replaced and a refurb mark, i wont use them because they are so clean and nice, i have already my used soviet/ iraqi marked and a chinese to shoot so its more than enough. You have a very nice rifle so you can buy another for shooting.:) Anyway, its impossible to just get 1 sks, trust me!

last year I bought my first sks,and now to make a short stories , i am at 7.
1- 1949 refurb - 1 1951 non-refurb- 1 1952 refurb- 1 1953 non refurb - 1 1956 non refurb - 1 yugo 59/66 - 1 sino soviet
I don't know why but they are attractives :D:D
 
I am down to 3 SKS's due to the fact that I don't have any more room in my gun locker. I kept my 1951 unfired, non-refurb, and my 1952 and 1954 mild refurbs that subsequently got parkerized and Arma-coated and are now field worthy. As noted above, my two refurbs only had their stocks replaced with arsenal fitted laminate stocks. Contrary to the 858 vs SKS debate, my two refurbs are impressively accurate, bonestock reliable, and now super easy to maintain.
 
Black Sunshine... If you bought an SKS, ya dun goofed.

I don't mean that as a "you'll regret it", I mean that as "you'll like it enough to burn lots of money on ammo and MORE SKSs."

Have fun.
