Yes...another new guy.
« on: May 13, 2020, 01:03:10 AM »
Hi...

New SKS owner here - took a gamble and ordered two from Classic in April.  Did the hand select (for what it was worth) plus got the numbers matching.  I'm pleased with them after cleaning get the cosmoline off.  Plans are to leave them alone and keep the look of them as is.  Also just got a 90s import too. 

Looking forward to learning more about them here.  Already been reading up on them on other sites too.

I'm a fan of AKs as well.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

I prefer the original look - no "tactical" stock for me.

Every time I see that logo, I think of my brothers Charger.
He had that logo on the sides of the hood scoop.
