Ahem.

This is off topic.
Reason: exact opposite of ugly.
Nice!
Note the peep sight made from a Lee Enfield " L " sight. Cut a slot in the cover and brazed the sight in position. The lever and pin have been replaced with a 1/4" bolt. The receiver is threaded. This holds the cover tight.
Yep! That SKS has Character!

Was this the 300 or 600 aperture? I’ve always liked this mod you came up with.
Welded a side mount rail to it. YUP guns destroyed. Its a complete piece of bubba'd 2MOA junk now

I bought this a few years ago from a retailer who claims it came in a crate. I have never seen one like it. Honest wear , no refurb all numbers match. Looks like a mag reblue when it was Frankenpinned. I have not fired this rifle.
I like it!
Ready? Custom fiberglass stock lol.
Yeah!!! There you go.
Where is the guy who welded a PSO scope rail and engraved a Spetsnaz logo on a Yugo M59/66? I wonder if he doubled his money like many of us did... LOL!

That looks awesome!!! I'd almost be tempted to purposefully distress one to look like that...
Bought this cheap as a mismatched 'tacticool' gun with an optics rail, Archangel stock and tapco mags.... thought the optic rail was actually useful, but the rest, not so much, so I gave away the stock and mags. Since it was already mismatched, I ditched the Archangel for a Russian stock, and added the magwell. I generally hate tacticool SKSs, but this ugly bastard is at least practical! Works perfectly with the 10-round pistol mags, but I haven't tried it yet with the pinned 30/5
I like ugly but functional over pretty but useless

It looks great . no Blueing left except the mag . well used but taken care of . a testament to it's durability also. Very nice.

I might be wrong but it looks like fir to me from the look of the bark, larch bark is redder. Have both in the woodshed this year and they look different when you see them beside each other.
Larch/Tamarak has a thinner, flaky bark?

Flakier, redder in colour. The split pile is fir, the unsplit pile is larch which is some primo fire wood. We burn pine, fir, larch and birch. I put up about 6 cords a year, mostly fir and pine but I’ll be doing more birch and larch next year.
You are right. The poster is from BC. It's a Douglas Fir.
