Hi,
I finally received my second laminate SKS from Cabelas Canada. I purchased it during the black Friday weekend sale. The one in the back is a 1951 & the latest one is a 1954.





They are in great shape with matching numbers except magazines, they came fairly clean hardly any cosmoline although the newer one could have used a wipedown before taking the pics. I guess these are the BBQ painted during refurb variety. I don't mind the look. I'm going to keep the 1951 stock and put a Tapco on the 1954 since it's chromed. The chrome bore looks brand spanking new.

Cheers,

Jumbalaya
 
Thanks I plan to strip, stain and refinish one of the wood stocks in linseed oil. Has anyone on here done that and have pics?

Personally I wouldn't do this to a laminate stock sks.. your hand guards are laminate as well and, are very desirable. Trade someone your furniture for hardwood, and play with that one.
Just my 2 cents

As there are millions of these around they will never be a collectors gun, so modding one or doing a stock refinish is really no biggy for me.

My son did not like the old stinky smell of the wood stock so we stripped,sanded, and used tung oil and all friends really like it.

I get the retro look but it's a 200.00 rifle so we just made the gun new to us.

Added a bipod and brake as it is just a truck gun to plinking and a picatinny cover as sometimes he uses a QD mounted red dot but it will never see a scope.

When we added a stock extender we lost the cleaning kit so the 10.00 stock pad holds spare ammo and a kit.
