I bought this SKS from Century,Montreal in 1995,my first true milsurp. Was fair-good condition,no bayonet,no cleaning rod paid $79 if i remember well. The rifle wouldn't work well because the gas tube was so loose,too much pressure lost.Stock beaten to hell so i refinished with tung oil and replaced the gas tube,put the bayo and the cleaning rod. Work perfectly since thoses day. This SKS was my farm rifle( i work on a farm) until i got my CZ858. I find out about 3 years ago that the SKS was Iraqi issued at some time, yooper john told me.

Lucky dog haha. Its too bad it had to be repaired but very cool none the less just for the history of it. Yooperj is a great reference.

I like it Joce.... it will be neat in 10 or 15 years from now.. and you pull those out.. very impressive.

Damn that's a sweet collection. That Iraqi issue is a pretty neat find.

Joce

Yes I do!

I know how to buy, but am not so good at selling! For SKS's, it's four '49's and one '49 parts gun. Bought them when they were going for $250. Have some K98 RC's from when they were $350 too, but neither will ever go up in value (said the "experts") - a real dummy huh?

I just went through my Russians to see if I had an Iraqi haha. No such luck. Another thing to look for while I scan the shelves at the gun store.
