Laugh,

PAX you know you have a problem when a gun you didn't know you had surprises you!  locomotive1

Sounds like a scrubbed and fully refurbished Chinese letter gun.

Whenever ya see no import marks, she's either a bringback or a Canadian border hopper.

Can't say I've ever forgotten about a gun in my collection. Sounds like a fun problem to have though. Lol

Chinese SKS (Military) / Strange But True...Picts Post #6

Hi Folks In The Know,

I've been digging through my remaining SKS rifles and ran across one I didn't remember. In all honesty, when I was actively buying rifles years ago, I never paid close attention to the details, mainly the PRICE and general over all condition. I was pretty green and just buying them as fast as I found them. This gun that reappeared is a little curious. Is an "A" 4 digit /26\ without Chinese T56 characters. A4121 is the only marking on the receiver other than /26\, and I can't locate an import stamp, even with the action removed or under the bayo. I don't think it's a vet, it's just too nice. It's matching numbers (no # on bolt), crown is blued crisp, lands & grooves deep, the bolt face and hammer look new, no wear at all. The stock is correct for a blade bayo, which has the staking marks aligned, but the stock looks too nice for the age, has horizontal numbers (4121), is relieved for a T86 sized base, looks to have been done later as there's a small chunk of unfinished wood where the front of the base would go. I'll get picts when I get a chance. PAX

Almost resembles a 10/22
Nice 👍

The only lever rimfire I have owned was a Henry - it was well made , Ruger will not let ya down 👍

One reason to get one was the mag compatibility. You can use 10/22 mags in a 96 but not the other way, 96 mags are flat bottomed, 10/22 are curved and I have a boat load of 10s. I've got hi-cap but I think they'd be a waste and ugly in a classic lever. I'll need to use a scope if I want to  see what I'm plinking  :) PAX

I owned a 77/22 that used the same mags , very accurate - wish I still had it 😞

I dig it thumb1

I do plan on redoing the laminate (came on a Chinese that did time in Albania, so she's basically black with gunk but still in great shape) and will dress it up here n' there I'm sure. No para's laying around though haha

The black rifle is currently my favorite rifle (until my Ruger .22 lever shows up  ::) ). The Ramline stock and that setup is the lightest SKS I've got. I really like the profile how it blends to the mag. PAX

Yeah that actually does look pretty good.a Ruger lever .22? Sounds fun
