They do some great videos!  Thanks for sharing  thumb1

Sheesh, if I had a full auto AK I wouldn't be very enthusiastic if someone asked me if they could fire it without the gas tube...bring your own bolt carrier/gas piston  :o

It's not a video of only the SKS, Danny, but another video that Larry Vickers did has an interesting "pre-production, prototype SKS", as he calls it, with a flavoring of the Russian Tokarev SVT 38 and SVT 40 rifles mixed in. I wish he would have done more on the SKS prototype rifle! The SKS part starts about 0:55 and runs through about 1:20. But the entire 4 minute video is cool.

Shocks me that they'd let him down there and not make him wear some gloves or something!  He's hucking those things around like they are some cheap Jimenez or something!  Those are one of a kind pieces man!

1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

I was thinking that, too RM. I know you wouldn't get away with that at the Smithsonian!  nea1  Actually, I'd like to know the back story of how he got in there and was able to inspect those rare guns so up close and personal. There are quite a few other videos of him in the same "Archive", looking at some really rare WW2 German guns taken by the Soviets in the closing days of the war. Kudos to him for getting to do it. I think I would have insisted on gloves, though. Maybe they didn't have any?  nea1
