Hello all, new guy here. I'm not to savy on the computer and I don't spell very well so please bear with me. I have recently acquired what I believe is a letter series SKS. I've been searching the web for info which led me to this page. The serial number is KM####D, it's numbers matching. Appears to be a referb BBQ gun as the bolt is black. It also has what I assume is the arctic birch stock. I guess what my question is, after my research, was it common for these to go into referb and still retain a standard issue original stock? Plus I read somewhere that in 1956 they had switched over to the laminate stock? I'll never sell it and I don't care about value, I'm just trying to figure out what it is. It has the Tula star stamped on the side of the reciever. It has a blade bayonet, natural or bare finish. If anyone is interested I can try to figure out how to post pics. Thanks
I'm also not trying to hijack this thread, just seemed like the thread that related to what I'm dealing with.
