New here but spent years building and collecting AKs. I have an Albanian and just purchased a Classic Firearms Chinese. Decided to come here and learn.

Welcome from Kentucky, ffj!!!  As you'll see, there are a lot here that like the AK platform and also a lot who don't.  One thing is certain, we ALL like the SKS in all of its many variants.

Hello Joey.
Welcome from Arizona.

You found the good site if you want to learn all about the SKS.
As a bonus, you get honest, open discussions an no ego BS.

Feel free to jump in with both feet.

Thank you for all of the welcomes guys. The Albanian is a 1978 with a mismatch top cover. The Chinese is a 12 million serial number. I will post some pics when I can.

I put pics of Chinese in the Chinese forum. I went through my safes and then remembered I traded the Albanian years ago for a Russian AK kit that I built.
