Title: North Vietnamese SKS
Post by: Phosphorus32 on September 05, 2019, 10:35:14 PM
Well, it's been a good summer for firearms with a Vietnamese connection. This is a new number for the database. Mismatched magazine and an unnumbered stock with an interesting added sling swivel. I hope nobody lists any Karabiner S rifles in the near future because I'm tapped out  :))

Okay, here are a lot (did I mention a lot) of pics. We don't see that many and I wanted to show every mark I could find  :)

It's ok I guess...kinda crusty looking.  Probably only worth what, a couple hundred $ if you throw in 100 rounds of ammo...

Thanks! It was from an auction.

My dream is to find the other Trinity Rifle missing from my collection at a local shop unfamiliar with the firearm, or at least the current crazy prices. DDRs have become so expensive that it's the only way I'm going to land one  chuckles1

Thanks for bringing a new example to add to the database.

Though almost as rarely encountered, these do not seem to generate the same fanfare as the North Korean and East German.

But I like them just as much, and perhaps they are more appropriate theater representative pieces than the others.

Don't anyone drop your guard thinking he's really tapped out and that for the next few months your going to kick back and win a few easy auctions. Ive seen this trick ah many times chuckles1

Very nice P32. One day your going to have to take all the Commies out for coffee and pics since that camera's all dialed in. Great Pic Package  thumb1. We do need more of the good ol days detailed picture packages like these.

Nice piece of rare history  clap1

You're welcome! I am really happy to have this one. A real solid North Vietnamese connection no matter where different parts were made or where they were assembled.

rofl Well, if I see a deal, I have to pounce. Although, this one was not any amazing deal but rather about current market rate. But the bringback Hungarian Tokarev I received yesterday was an amazing deal.

Glad you like the pictures. You know I love a lot of pictures. I often look up milsurps when I'm scouting for information on an item I don't know well, and find myself wanting to see more detailed pics, so that's why I tend to err on the side of going overboard rather than under-reporting.
