Title: 1978 SKS #2
Post by: jstin2 on March 06, 2023, 06:02:12 PM

I had no intention of buying another SKS, but this one came up. Price was right($404.00 US), lived within driving distance and was still packaged in cosmoline. Another factor was the low serial number 23 002052 compared to my other 78 - 23 092809.

Very nice! Congratulations!

Was it one of the un-issued 23/24 million Factory 26 SKS recently imported to Canada?

Bayonet screw staking is very interesting.

He had bought it a couple months ago, so it would have been in that shipment.

For that price it was a no brainer. Nice find.
