is it bad that I want to buy one now..? LOLMost of us have of course long since lost or sold our SKSs, but let's see the ones you used to own....
My two - one unmolested, one tastefully (I thought, at least) French Ticklers.

If I had more disposable income these days, I would have liked to pick up an un-issued french tickler like CobraGT.

One of the five I've owned and the one I regret selling the most.
It has the rare G9 mag adaptor which had a boxy look. I used cutdown airsoft FAL and G3 magazine bodies to create an outer shell for the 10 round XCR-L magazines.
Ran like a champ once I've dremeled the feed ramp.

Still got a restricted SKS-M, threw it in Hush stock as the original monte carlo stock is kinda goofy.

That is a serious collection. Those Albanian and Romanian ones are crazy rare. I have held one Albanian before and was pretty beat. I liked the charging handle on them.Th collection back in the day, sold most of them off during covid, when it seems they almost doubled from going from 3-400 to 5-600.

And a Romanian, only one i'd ever seen in Canada, had British proof marks. Was matching except for the gas tube, guessing the gas tube got mismatched when it was proofed as the proof marks were under the gas tube.
