It arrived! yahoo1
20-1/8" 22-5/32" barrel, bolt face to crown.
Bore is excellent, bluing is very good save for a few scuffs. Stock is mismatched, 012, and you can see an old high SN has been sanded off. I wonder if it got mixed up with #012 during preservative treatment or if Slobodan was dyslexic :)) Bolt, bolt carrier, receiver rail and rear of receiver, and inside of receiver cover have SN 021. Assembly number on trigger guard. No number on the pristine gas piston in a quick examination. I'm going out of town in a few minutes to see if there are any deer in northern WA but thought I'd quickly throw up a few pics. Enjoy!

You sure about that barrel length Phos??
Also... Wasn't one if the 5 guns #12? If so, maybe #12 has your stock!!
You the man Jon!!
The bluing on that badboy looks absolutely gorgeous! thumb1
I'm quite sure of the measurement but I'll doublecheck on Monday.
It was either 12 and 14 or 13 and 14, I thought the latter, if I recall correctly. I wish I had recorded the numbers.
Thanks Joe! I'm very pleased with the bluing and the LB overall.

Well, if 012 has my 021 stock hopefully he'll see my post.
Only two unaccounted for is 12 and 29.... Hope RM gets #12
For someone who has been trying to land a paratrooper for much of my SKS collecting career...I am so jealous for you few who were able to get these long'uns :)
Yet another gorgeous specimen! I really like the stock, if 012 isn't as nice I would be hard pressed to swap it myself....although chances are you would have a better match with the hand guard.
Congrats!! Glad so many of these made it into the hands of SKS-Files members. Go Team! thumb1
Nice LB Phos! I like it!
Beautiful rifle Phos, but I'm in love with that wood! drool2
Thanks everyone! :) I'm very happy with it, mismatched stock or not, just a good looking rifle.
I still have hope that RMs gun has your stock and visa versa. popcorn2

doh1 rofl The dangers of re-reading on my phone, I was looking at the fraction and overlooked that I typed a 0 instead of a 2. It is 22-5/32" long
22.25". thumb1

Man,, I think id be on the horn with big Dan picking his brain. Tell him the 411 about the stock and see if Dan would kindly email the guy he sold #12 to. good luck
Looks like RM got 029..... Who has 012!?!?!?! dash3

May be listing something trashy on the trader soon when the cc bill comes due.
