Russian SKS Pre-order

I have spoke to Alex from westrifle on the phone. Fantastic guy! He is such a great source of information about those iconic rifles.
When he was in Russia choosing those rifles he had a chance to speak to the really old engineer, an old timer, if you will :) who was old enough to know the people who were working on the SKS assembly lines! Lots of valuble info there straight from the horse's mouth! Great job Alex.
 
Sergey, thank you very much for the personal delivery at 5pm tonight. The rifle is beautiful! Now get some rest. :)

Thanks again!
 
Thank you. Some were shipped today and Friday. Those whose information I am missing I tried to contact many people but I am still missing info for 12 people. Please provide your PAL if possible ASAP.
For those who will receive their rifles please do a review for us. Jimbo14 you welcome. If you can post some pictures for people to see the quality of the rifle I would appreciate it. There is so many people that do not know how good this batch. :)

Cheers

Al
 
Alex has been a busy man, called me on Fri night, received Can post info Sat morning, shipping Mon!
Good work Alex thanks for taking the time to talk to me a little on Fri, know you are swamped.
 
Here are some early pictures, Al. I haven't had time to clean the cosmoline off it yet so I can post better pictures later this week. I'm a hobby woodworker and I love the look of a solid birch stock (not laminated). Interesting grain patterns and a beautiful dark red colour. Perfect for a "red" rifle. :) All numbers matching as well. A great example of a 1955/56 SKS.

Jimbo was yours all matching numbers or unissued ? My all matching numbers is supposed to arrive on the 21st and I am already pumped . I just purchased a 91/30 from these folks and am really happy . Keep in mind this was the basic $150 model and its great . This may become my new go to dealer if only they save me a russian m38 hint , hint nudge nudge .

Matching numbers. I'm not that far from Westrifle and Sergey dropped mine off at my house on Saturday. I also have a Mosin from Westrifle (ex-sniper with bent bolt) and love it. Great guys.

The ones you have left are matching numbers they have never been fired but are marked refurb to due inspection or screw tightening or whatever , have I got that right?
Thanks for your expertise!

Is the above description correct? I guess I was late to the dance on these but I'm having a hard time figuring out what's available from looking at the website. How do the $500 ones differ from the $240 and the $260. Are the Izhevsk ones $20 more and that's the reason for the difference between the $240 & $260 guns. If you've got a gun that hasn't been fired, has matching numbers and a chrome bore that's what I want. I don't really care about unissued vs. refurb or arsenal or year of manufacture if the numbers match, it's unfired and chrome lined. If you let me know I'm ready to order but I just want to know exactly what I'm getting before I do. Hope this makes sense.
 
at 500$ it's made in 1949 the first year of SKS....... very collectable..... (like it's stay in the safe.....And it's stay unissued !!!)
Izhevsk are a little bit more rare than Tula..... it's why it'S 20$ more
... so for you... if you don't care... and you want the numbers match, unfired and chrome lined... just take the cheapest Russian SKS.... !!!
 
...and so it begins....cleaning. :)

A couple teaser pics to help show what you guys will be getting very soon. This is a "numbers matching" SKS, not one of the "unissued" ones. To me, this looks like it was never fired. You can say I'm a happy guy. :)
