Crap! I was going to list my original I with the hopes of you bidding the bejesus out of it since you needed one.

Was this a GB deal?

And to think RM yells at me for calling the Russians the Rolls Royce of SKS. What a freaking work of art! Color me green with envy, Tony.

Laugh, no I call you a snob for not wanting to take the type 56 Toyota corolla out for a spin every once in a while!  It is a very nice gun Tony, I do like the dark finish!  You still lack a K right?

Now that is a beautiful SKS and very hard to find in the unissued (original) condition in the "Letter  Date" series. It has taken me over ten years to just complete my set with Boomers "I" series that I was lucky enough to win on a bid on gunbroker this week. The letter date series will be found in both hard wood and laminated in the first two series of letters "D" & "I", but I have only seen the "K" series in original Laminated stocks which I feel is the end of production for these great Battle Rifles but it isn't cut in stone. Great looking carbine in mint condition.
