geeze....I've been a mechanic too damn long..  rofl rofl2

A mechanic?  Maybe you need to start fixing all the stuff you been destroying as of late!   :P
Lets see, a concrete slab you broke with a q tip, an anvil with a rubber hammer/mallet, and who knows what else!   :o  How about you just take some time off, a rest, and let others fix the stuff you "fubared" and just let things get back to "normal"?   Maybe just sit back and "Eat your corn bread"?   rofl

I think this is a very cool sks!  I love the art and cant even imagine the circumstances that it was carved under.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
Rudyard Kipling  1919

Right...  I didn't mention the lightning bolt, just the moon/crescent. 

I dunno about you, but if I was a soldier fighting communist Russia, the last thing I would carve in my stock would be a hammer and sickle....  Your commanding officer and fellow soldiers might have a 'small' issue with that. 

These guns were all over the former Yugoslavia prior to the breeakup.  Whats the chances it was in both sides hands at one point or another? 
      
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.

To me...


It looks like it was scratched into the surface with a (insert tool of choice here) and then gone over with something like a sharpie to get into the bare exposed wood and highlight the art.  Where/when it was done....  No idea.
