School me on SKS’s

Hmmmmm. What’s that you said Firebat ?

Having 2 SKS is better than one. If money is not a constraint of course.

Yeah, those Chicom ones are not exactly pretty. The wood sucks for sure.

Spend a bit more and get a nice (laminate) Ruski.

The picture I posted above is my second SKS purchase from the same dealer as the first .
It is in the same condition as the first one purchased from the dealer except for one slight divot in the stock , otherwise mint condition all matching numbers
I do think the second purchase is an older rifle than the first one purchased ,

I they are both " Tri-26" and in 24 Million serial number, they are both in 1980 (or 81 per some sources). More research avail if you look.
