My luck has turned around a little, I think that my last three wins on GB were good. Two of which may be Sino-Soviet type SKS's, the other is a possible "Ghost" unit ? Be damned if I know though, this is where the expertise of the forum will come in. Long story short all SKS's were had for under or at 300 bucks. I am feeling good about all my purchases. Ty to GaryCCR
What do you mean by "sino-soviet"?
Pics sure would help when you have some available :)
Early Chinese models built with Russian parts maybe ?
And yes pictures will be posted once I pick these new one's up.
der ya go

Worst thing about my "new" to me Ghost is the new sling. Too bad the original one is MIA
Is it just nasy or? 99% of these banians didnt come with slings.
Mine came with sling, but appears new and certainly aftermarket repro. No lettering stenciled on it, but not original. I only have a few worn out, torn up, and battle scarred slings. PS, they smell like hell too,two of them are airing out in my garage as to not stink up the safe box. ;)
Lol. Albanian fromunda-butter.
