They have a looooooooooong way to go before coming close to the USMC SDT.
Yup. But those soldiers are still pretty decent.
I saw someone mention this on another forum. Certainly, without some sneaking around and perhaps a few bribes. There's no way to be sure how many of the ceremonial rifles there are. But considering that Slovenia only has about 2,060,000 people in it. The country is a little smaller than New Jersey. And their now, fully professional military has only 8,800 total personnel. It might be a minor miracle these ever showed up outside of Slovenia for sale. Of course Slovenia appears to be selling off much of, if not all of their SKS stock. Since they went with the FN F2000S and the old Zastava M70's took over as reserves. Slovenia may still very well have a decent stock of regular SKS and ceremonial rifles. I don't see their ceremonial/honor guards doing those demos with AK rifles.
