Romanian Model 56 SKS

[eos]

Finally acquired one here. 1960 dated. This is an old import and shows British commercial proofs having come in via the UK.

great looking romy, bluing looks very strong.

does the stock match? down here in the states more the half the romy's have mismatched stocks.

 

[SA85M1]

Very nice find..there are a few of them here...

That's a nice looking Romy you found there. If the old battle scarred rifles could only talk, that one would surely tell a tale. Wanna sell her? Congrats on a nice find.

Paid less than $200.00 (!) I'm still pinching myself.

Stock itself is not numbered but the buttplate has another serial ep'd on it.

My stock and buttplate have no serial numbers..

the last 2 batches of romy's here in the states have had a high number of unserviceable stocks.

I/O replaced their damaged stocks with tapcos and got people to pay $399 for them.

century pumped them out as U-fix-EM's for $150.

eos, out of the 75,000 romy's built yours was built very close to the end of production, maybe 3000 or so from the end.

again congrats on finding a fine rifle.

are there many romy sks's in Canada?
