Why I hate you guys

[CZ_Brno]

First I thought of getting an SKS but decided on a CZ-858 instead.

But all this continuous talk on here about SKS's and what a good gun they are for the money I decided to buy one anyway. After all who could go wrong getting a select grade from Tradex for $195.00?

So the gun arrives and I'm really impressed with the 1953 Tula I received in near perfect condition.

Then you guys start talking this nonsense about the supply drying up and I panic.

So I order another select grade from Tradex. This time a Tula 1955/56 no date in near perfect condition arrives.

It's all your fault. Shame on you!

 

[Magellann]

Good for you, now get another one! You won't regret it.

 

[Syphen]

Nothing wrong with having a collection of red stuff!!

 

[Knuckles Muldoon]

Now you need a Mosin and a Tokarev, Russian Trifecta.

Now you just need a 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, D series, K series, chinese military and copies of each year in laminate stocks...

Every gun owner worth his salt should have an SKS.

 

[.30/06 FTW]

Nobody put a gun to your head. We did put it in your mind however.

I followed a very similar path!

Nice, definitely need a mosin to round off the collection.

These red rifles are definitely ahead of their time. They look way cooler than the western rifles of that era and still look better than the plastic new stuff. I was going to tapco my SKS but now I bought a vz 58 now I can keep SKS original.

You're grouping "Chinese Military" into one gun, what about Sino-Soviet, late Factory 26, factory 416, factory326 (wood stocks and 'jungle' stocks) - and then there's Yugo 59/66 and 59, and Polish SKS's then there's Albanian, Viet Namese and even North Korean. A long way to go.

 

[trebor2880]

Better get an SVT-40, ASAP. I hear-tell the supplies are drying up!!!

 

[MattLS]

What else could you buy for that price and have that much fun?

 

[midnightpossum]

Get what you can.. while you can.

 

[Eric_911]

Get what you can.. while you can.

Very nice.... No tok though

 

[midnightpossum]

Waiting approval on polish tok....

You can't loose buying red rifles or pistols.

I purchased the Chinese SKS from Weimajack... the stock popped right out at me,and I had to get it... the Wood on the CZ is from an outfit in the States known as Ironwooddesigns.

Time for a CZ/VZ58 and a TT-33 if you still don't have those yet.
