My own experiences with vets, and my Father's own perspective (war kid in Berlin) suggest that the people who actually carried them for their designed purpose don't want much to do with them at all now. They certainly don't miss having one pointed at them.

My dads reaction was very similar, I showed him my LE and he said he never wanted to touch another gun ever again.

My late father in law had kind of the same philosophy in some ways although he did do some hunting postwar.His exact words were that they were no more or no less than "tools" designed for a certain purpose.
 
I understand why it happened a few decades ago, but when you can buy a Savage Axis combo nowadays for about $360, I don't know why people are still bubba'ing milsurps. I bought a nice Swedish Mauser years ago with a poorly bent bolt, cut stock and some crookedly drilled scope mount holes because I wanted a Swedish Mauser with a scope, but I didn't need to wreck a nice example of a milsurp to get one.
 
It's your property do with it as you please, if some do not like that than to bad, get over it, it's not your property
 
I didn't make it two minutes before turning that crap off cos I was laughing too hard. He looked frustrated and confused by his own contraption. I've yet to find an SKS stock I like better than Russian arctic birch. Lacquered of course.

Now I am no gun smith , but you cant even close the bolt on the mosin above, I think that was just a joke someone put together, you want serious? Check this guy out, one of my favorite vids of all time , skip to 6:50 to see how he "Thinks he usually holds it" ... Sweet back up irons bro.

What that guy does with his non issued SKS paratrooper does not effect the ever decreasing supply of Milsurp Rifles.Some of us collect to preserve a bit of family history, some collect to fill out a space in a collection,while some do it just as a investment.If he wants to put his money into a cumbersome rifle that has poor ergonomics and a extremely poor scope mount have at her.I am just happy that "Bubba" likes to modify Norinco SKS's lately instead of the Ross and the Lee Enfields.
