Welcome from Montana!
I too just got an SKS from Classic, and ours are sisters....mine is also a 12282xxx
You got the pretty girl, mine is the one that got dragged along on the double dates I suppose, she looks like its been to hell and back... I am going to tackle the stock this morning, I hope to find at least 25% as nice a stock as yours, but I won't be holding my breath for two reasons, little hope and the love of the scent of cosmoline.
If interested, PM me sometime and we can see how close they are....normally I post my serials without regard, but this one has some attached mitigating circumstances that make me want to hold back for the time being.
I had seen your photos just before picking mine up and the first thing I looked for were any remnants of the stock cartouche....seems to be long gone.
Yours is pretty amazing compared to many I have seen from this batch, congrats!
