My My, how the tide has turned for the SKS...

Gentlemen, how the hell could the government have done more considering we don't produce our own vaccines, and obviously, those countries that do will first focus on their populations and also sell to the long list of potential buyers? Oh, wait a second, it's coming to me... hey maybe we should have seen this coming and had our own production capacity in place? You know, emergency measures planning!!? Pi$$ Fu@king poor planning from a long line of tunnel vision governments.

What did you expect him to do more? He bought over 300 million doses from a lot of different sources, and can't really do anything more in less than a year

Really,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, or did he bet everything on the vaccine from China?

After China told him to drift, he was late for dinner with the rest of the companies.
 
Well, since the Chinese made it, it is logical to think they know more than anybody else about it.
 
What happens when you put four Aussies in a room with an SKS...

Australian War Memorial website says it's a captured rifle from a dead viet cong during a 1970 offensive.

South Vietnam. 1970-01. A dead enemy soldier and the capture of this Chinese Communist SKS rifle are the results of a contact between the Viet Cong and the soldiers of Matilda Force. Examining the weapon are four of the men in the action, from left: Private (Pte) Ivan Heard of Cairns, Qld; Pte Graham Dyer of Eidsvold, Qld; Corporal Raymond Fell of Erskineville, NSW; Pte John Kerkman of Pooraka, SA. The Australians are from B Company of 6RAR /NZ (ANZAC) (The ANZAC Battalion comprising 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and a component from the 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment), providing infantry support for Operation Matilda, an armoured sweep through three provinces. Forty four armoured vehicles and 270 soldiers were involved in the sweep which was the largest Australian armoured operation mounted since World War 2.

Anyone can shed some light on these markings? Background: got this one installed in the archangel stock I bought. I ask for the bits and pieces omitted from the installation into the archangel. Was looking at the top of the barrel (under the gastube) the other day and haven't seen this posted before...

 
New refurb, late import from Russia before sanctions closed the market for them. Made by Russian company "Molot- oruzhie" (Hammer-weapon(c)transl.). They remanufacture them and sell them to professional hunters. OП-CKC means охото-промысловый СКС (Professional Hunting SKS). The rear sight should be limited by 300m to obey Russian Laws.

The Molot laser etchings ... Russia started marking them ... another reason the Russian SKS’s from the Ukraine were prized as they didn’t have any of those markings.
 
Saw on Marstar’s site that their Chinese sks were supposedly the last of them ... what they were told from their sources I guess.

When people talk about bbq paint sks’s this is what they’re talking about. Higher value are those without the markings and painting.
 
I am happy to announce that my 19 year old son, who recently got his pal/rpal, bought his first rifle...

A 1951 Tula SKS -- A nice Molot bbq refurb. He has already put 160 rounds through it. He's even got the disassembly and cleaning part down to an art.
He stuck his nose up at a 22LR. Maybe one day he'll see the light and buy a nice CZ.
