Picked this one up today. If it looks familiar...it's on the guide page. I got this beauty from xxxsksjoe.
This is a model 63 SKS. New manufacture in 1988. First SKS with a thumbhole stock. Full 20" barrel. Neutered bayonet lug, and milled open front sight hood. Takes AK mags. Chinese 5 round mag in the pics below.

Are you kidding? I shoot all my SKSs! The first thing I do when I get a new one is take it to the range, make sure it functions properly, and sight in the irons 8)
Power can lefties like me get a LH stock for these or is this a "one size fits all"?

Danny, the stock is cut the same on both sides, so it should be the same grip for either lefty or righty :)
Well they thought of everybody on this one, that's cool. Thanks Power!

I knew you aint right!!! rofl
Little range action with the 63 today. Shoots pretty good. Several 4-5 inch groups at 100 yards open sights. I like the open front sight hood, doesn't distort the sight picture like the closed hoods do for me. The thumbhole stocks are pretty comfortable too.

Power you're a "dead-eye" with that 63 & SVT, that's good shooting!

I found the 63 stock and overall feel of the rifle probably the most comfortable sks rifle I've ever shot....just feels good...:)
It will go tighter with Winchester white box ammo :)

I'm sure...I was shooting Tula. I have vintage green box Chinese too, but it's steel also.
