I wish I could have even a refurb !!!!!!

if you guys could only get one here to me i would appreciate it for sure!!!!

None taken. Satain how much would you pay for 1949 no refurbished marks? Before you give me an answer think how many of those left and that I have to jump through the hoops to get it.

First of all thank you for the pictures always nice to see some pictures. I read up on 1949 but if you have some pointers for me let me know in PM.

This is by far not exhaustive, but some things to look for include:

- square gas block
- 1949 on the receiver cover (duh!)
- squared, not angled, front sling mount
- arctic birch stock with only one serial number stamped into it, matching the receiver serial number
- looped rear cover latch lever
- non-chrome-lined bore.
- no refurb stampe such as a square or diamond stamp with a vertical or diagonal line through it.
- no black paint anywhere.
- spring-loaded firing pin
- different bolt and carrier lock-up design
- cruciform bayonet and stock inletted wider to accomodate, not narrow like on a blade bayo stock

There are probably other differences that are slipping my mind at present.

importing a russian SKS could land you in jail.

Unless you have approval from ATF in writing (3-6 month waiting). Hard to get but possible.

Wrong Sergei, Russian SKS and SVT-40 and also Chinese SKS are banned from Importation into the USA.

 

[Claven2]

Sergei: Do you have an approximate delivery timeframe? Would help with budget planning - so many guns to pay for over the next few months!!

 

[lejarretnoir]

I think the reason they banned Chinese/Russian import to the USA was to pump up their own manufacturers there, could be wrong. Since we don't make our own and have no trading problems with China/Russia all is well. I say bring all the 49's here to Canada then go and post on the sks survivor board. Let em drool.

Count your blessings to have a man like Sergey go and cherry pick these guns for us!
