nWos LATEST SKS. 1956 Soviet.

[NWO]

Here is my latest SKS acquisition. I picked it up Friday night.

It is a 1956 Soviet SKS, and yes it has been refurbished.

I took it to the range on Sunday and put 100 rounds through it. It functions flawlessly, and is great fun to shoot.

These SKSs are just plain addictive!

Good Shooting!

I cant find ammo for my new SKS so I wouldnt know.

Somehow I wound up with ~1200 rounds long before this stupid shortage was on. Wish we'd get some more here soon, though

[NWO]

I've got around 2300 rounds of 7.62x39 right now. I have started reloading, so I should never have a shortage.

Good Shooting!

Is that an aftermarket mag? If so, what kind?

[Boogyman]

I like it! Especially the nice dark blued metal. Nice wood too. Nothing like good wood! :rolleyes:

The magazine is a 20 round detachable one. It functions flawlessly. It has no markings on it, so I am really not sure where it came from originally. I got it with the rifle though.

Ya, I love a nice wood stock. Beats plastic anyday!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Good Shooting!

Enjoy....Happy Shooting!

Thread resurrection!

I got rid of the 20 round duck bill magazine, and put the original 10 rounder back on.

It is an interesting story on the magazine. When I bought the rifle last year, my friend (dealer) did not have the original magazine with it. He had the duck bill. I was kind of disappointed because I like having original parts, but the duck bill was cool, and it always worked flawlessly!

About nine months later at the local gun show, I was at my friends table. I happened to see a couple of original SKS ten round magazines. I bought them both for really cheap. One of them I gave to my Father In Law, and the other I kept to put on this rifle.

Well, when I got home and installed the ten rounder I looked at the serial number on it. I was amazed to find that it was (is) the original magazine to this particular rifle! After all that time, I DID get the original magazine! My 1956 became 'complete'.

I took her out and put 40 rounds through her today. Great fun, flawless functioning. I just thought I would share since I have 'Svetlana' right here in my lap as I type this.

Good Shooting!

No way!! Love the furniture on that SKS by the way, glade to hear that you SKS is now complete!!!:)

[NWO]

Ya, I could'nt believe it either! Just by chance I got the original magazine!

Thanks for the compliment GARZA1290, the stock is pretty nice. It does have a crack on one side of it, but that gives it some character!

reminds me of Voltron, somehow.
