Got out this old girl for a little cleaning and thought I would share a few pictures
Romanian Cugir factory 1959
All numbers match up well , not a beauty but shoots good thumb1
I thought I paid too much back in the day at $150 :(

Looks fantastic to me. My 2 Romys are a little rougher and forced, more typical examples. PAX

Don't sell that one short, it's a very nice example. $150 back in the day was a steal, they were typically $175-$200 retail from the day they were imported and never really went down from there. I got my two in 2004 long after the imports and retail sales had dried up and I paid $200 and $220 respectively.
Replacement stock is a bummer, but typical of 90% of Romys it seems. Proper dog collar Romy sling is definitely a plus! thumb1

Mine were a good value when I picked them up in 2012 (?). The Sinobanians kinda had the SKS market depressed and one of them was in a T6. I got some Romy wood from Clearwater that helped that one, then later I scored on some blank Russian laminate that looked even better. PAX

Great SKS! I love the Romanians.
Matching major serial numbers on the metal is relatively scarce and original matching stock is probably rarer than a matching gas piston and tube.

He had 2 on the rack , unfortunately I could only afford one , he did toss in some ammo to help eases the pain , turned out to be a good investment on today’s market 👍

thumb1 Thats a nice one.. funny, seems 1959 is a very common year to find matching. My matching one is a 1957, and one was even imported with a Yugoslavian bolt installed.
Big fan of the underdog Romanian.. even bigger fan of them sexy leather slings. drool2
