Heads up if you're looking for a Russian SKS

I'd love to see a video of a firing line of 11 people emptying those 11 SKS mags.

Well, I dug out the bulk of my Tulas yesterday and took a pic, the 2 new ones don't look so brown when they're with the others.

Wow, just wow! Beautiful!

Was in brandon home hardware yesterday and they still had a full crate in the back. Me and a buddy grabbed the last 2 from the open crate and got the crate box for free. The one i got is a Tula 1954r.
The "r" means refurb right?

The "r" just means 'year' in Russian. Rebuild mark is usually, but not always, a square box with a slash through it. Though its fairly inconsistent and many refurbished Russian SKSs don't have any refrub marks on them.

They just opened a new crate Saturday, one more crate after that. I took home a non refurb "K" letter in an original laminate stock. Can't wait to see the last crate!

Nice so the "k" would be a late model right? Next time i am in brandon i am going to see about getting another.

"K" letter guns are thought to be the last ones made, and letter series guns are the only Russian SKS to come with a laminate stock as original equipment. And only handfuls of letter guns got them, most got hardwood stocks.
