Its been all summer since ive personally owned an SKS. I bought one for my cousin for christmas, all tac'ed out, and it made me once again realize the simply beauty of this gun. I sold my VZ and all my corrosive ammo, but I still have 1000 rounds of non corrosive sitting here I just couldnt part with. So, I looked around at all the dealers to find a chinese military SKS... didnt want the stamped civi version and I didnt want a non chrome barrel. $230 later its in the mail.
Now I just have to decide what to do with this one. Im leaning toward the dragonov stock with one of those short 5 round detachable mags (that would essentially be permanent)... Maybe do a drilled and tapped side mount for an optic but leave the irons alone. Or, Ive played with the idea of leaving it wood, doing a 2 inch butt stock extension the side mount... still not sure. I really like the dragonov style and since this gun is likely going to spend most of its life in my safe I like that its plastic. But, this is going to be a cheap build so If I cant get that stock for a good deal ill just stick with wood.
just thought id post up my excitement. I missed the SKS.
