Title: Bubba 26 +
Post by: Crazyone on September 19, 2014, 12:23:02 PM
I know--I am a Russian nut  and  pretty much a purist but this came to me in the stock so I added a spike and a usable Scope--Hope to get out to the range and see how  close my laser sighting is. Who says  7.62 x 39 isn't a sniper round?..(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e60/crazyone47/IMG_0031_1_zps5d260da2.jpg) (http://s37.photobucket.com/user/crazyone47/media/IMG_0031_1_zps5d260da2.jpg.html)
  and yep, it's a /26\--hey everyone is entitled to at least 1 bubba--right?(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e60/crazyone47/IMG_0032_1_zps27054e75.jpg) (http://s37.photobucket.com/user/crazyone47/media/IMG_0032_1_zps27054e75.jpg.html) thankyou1

Can you show us the import stamp/stamps....  this is just outside of the known Sino Syrian serial range..

You have definitely got me there--since it was already a bubba I never paid any attention except to the /26\   after a quick look over the only other stamps or marking is on the barrel just above the bayonet and that just says SKS 7.62---and of course with a little closer look out on the barrel--CAI ST AUB --

I seriously hope you still have the original receiver cover and perhaps the stock....

Sounds like it came to him in the crapco stock when he got it.  Maybe it's just my eyes, but heck it sure looks like a blued bolt to me in the second photo.  If that's the case, if you ever want to go back crazyone, I'd suspect it'll be a dreaded laminate stock.

Welp....  most of them were brought in with normal hardwood replacement stocks, so even at that it would be a desirable gun.  Thr receiver cover is more important than the stock is.

Good catch on the bolt carrier....  def a Sino-Syrian

I'm conflicted, I should be nice and say nice find. Which if original it would be.  OK, it could the basis for a very nice restore job thumb1

Note to self:  Self, stay outta this area!!!  rofl

Definitely a Sino-Syrian. Find yourself a Russian laminate replacement and bring her back!

Adding your serial to my list. Good find!

Unfortunately it came with the bubba stock and cover so it's not much use as a collector.  I will check with my son but I think it was a gun show trade.  Sorry--I didn't get to it before Bubba!
