Likely, you guys have heard this before, but thanks for doing this.
Like a lot of guys, I've been around the SKS, and firearms in general, for a very long time. Until I got here, I had no idea how much I didn't know about this rifle.
I've always liked them. At one point, there was a barrel of them in every gun store around here. Literally, a barrel of Chinese rifles, stored muzzle down, for $39.99 each. Really gorgeous guns. They all had a sling, oiler, cleaning rod, and manual.
Lotsa guys out here in Arizona bought them for truck guns. There were several of those guys that would sell them to me for 20 or 30 bucks for beer money a few months later. (If I'd only known what was gonna happen with prices)
Anyway, I just thought I'd say thanks for the ongoing curriculum here at the SKS university. The stuff I'm learning is top notch. Anyone that doubts it should look at other sites and you'll find that this place is the place to learn about the rifle we all love.
