New guy from PA
« on: July 05, 2015, 02:35:53 PM »
Hello Gents, new member here from PA. As I have been an SKS shooter and semi-collector for almost two decades now I will admit to leaving the Simonov community. Now, due to old age I have abandoned the collecting of arms and laugh at my tacticool past in favor of practicality which is why I turned back to the SKS. thumb1

welcome! I ended up trading a Bulgarian AK74 for my SKS. When I purchased the 74 I had wanted a SKS but couldn't find anything that wasn't bubbad up and overpriced in my area. Got the 74 for $600 and ended up trading it for my un-molested '65 type 56 and 350 rounds.

Those of us who know the SKS and have been through the various phases know your deal was good. thumb1

The ammo issue alone sold it for me. there's only one gun shop in my state that sells 5.45x39mm.

yeah, that is why I got out of most milsurps, it sucks always having to order ammo or paying outrageous prices for domestic "hunting quality" ammo

  Welcome to the Files M26PERSHING! I'm new to the Files, as well. I'm enjoying all aspects of the board. They're gathering data and making the case for some claims, while debunking others. It's the data collection and confirmation that really impresses me. And I enjoy learning new things, even if it is for the second or third time!  :))  It's just good to see the questions being answered with real data and numbers to back them up.

  Family with Pershing history? My firstborn son trained at Ft. Knox, KY, but they trained in/used all Abrams M1A1's, with various "fitting's". (.50 cal BMG's, TOW Missile Launchers, and I saw many with the GE Mini Guns mounted on top.) I saw some of the old M-60's there, but I'm not sure if he ever used that for any training or exercises. He spent his Basic Training there and AIT as well. I went down there for "parents day" and for his graduation. I enjoyed tooling around that base and going to the Armored Museum there on base. That place is a trip!

Enjoy! Learn! Share! And welcome!
