Hello from Minnesota (via a few other places)
« on: September 09, 2020, 04:11:24 PM »
Hey Folks!
New here and planning to build an SKS pretty much from nothing at this point so will be looking for parts in for sale section. Just starting with the bi pieces first.
Thanks,
Marco

Welcome from Washington State, my home of 22 years  thumb1

My home state is Minnesota (29 years there), so nice to see another Minnesotan.

Hi Marco, I'm Polo....errrrr....Greatguns.  :) 8) Welcome from Kansas City, MO
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

Yes.  You do need a min post count to post on certain boards. This Helps protect the members here from fly by night scammers that come, post once, then bail with $.  The post limit isn’t too high, you’ll be there in no time.

Marco, Welcome from California! Look for as near to complete, gunsmith specials (of course, no rust) for your build(s). You won't have a #'s matching (no biggie), but you won't end up building an SKS "parts gun" that'll end up costing you twice as much as a complete rifle.
