New to me SKS

I picked this up from my neighbor for $325 plus 1000rds of steel core not so great Wolf ammo. I have taken it down and cleaned it and all looks good , no cracks in the bolt face, no rust or corrosion. (Well, it had a little corrosion, but it cleaned right off.) It does not have the origional stock on it I don't think because I can see the places where it has been repaired. All in all though it looks good.

Oh! The ammo came with the rifle.

wow, it is beautiful. That baby really did clean up nicely. I am jealous of you. Is a new tactical stock in order or are you keeping it natural?

I don't know. The way some of these guys fix theirs up it kind of makes a guy want to go and modernise it.

blinddog,

Very nice Chinese SKS [RPC/China] "416 in Triangle". +1 with Norm as for the wood stocks, the synthetic stocks don't cut it with me either, but to each his own. I really like my Norinco SKS, they are like the energized bunny they just keep on going.

I did trick mine out at first but the synthetic stock let me feel the recoil to much so I went back to the original stock.

Add me to the original stock fan list.

I have two SKS's and they are both original Yugos. One was unissued mint and the other is my shooter. I have replaced the gas shutoff valve and the piston only in the shooter. Everything else remains stock. I have never had a FTF with it and I have mainly used only corrosive surplus ammo. I have some Wollf, and the SKS is the only gun I shoot Wollf out of.
