Well, in case you're curios  ;) this is certainly a relic.

That looks about as bad as my last Sarco barreled receiver purchase, LOL.

Metal parts looks way better than relic SVT-40 sold in Russia.

Pinned mag? A Canadian river? Trudeau boating accident?

Was cool to see pressure washer used on it. I guess noting can hurt it any more. What is dead may never die.

That would make a very cool wallhanger and conversation piece. I can't believe the folks asking him to shoot it. They must have one foot in their graves. stop1 dead1

I think it needs a refurb stamp added to it.  Just saying!   ;)

Why not shoot it? Water/rust won't ruin the metal like fire will as concerns temper so if it's not pitted TOO bad and the action is within tolerances of the manufacturers specs, headspace is good and bolt is good then shoot it. I'd swap out the stock though.  :)
Not any worse than the parts guns I put together from the Sarco barreled receivers I bought, and they function fine.

I traded a SARCO built Paratrooper for a Cowboy Companion barreled receiver. The SARCO action, a letter gun, almost looked like that. PAX

'Prototype' for the next batch of sweaty Ben's "...minor handling marks, some pitting..." offerings.

No need for that, Dave. A good chunk of us didn't see it.
The fact that it got reposted again says that.

As far as duplicate posts go, I imagine there are whole sections of the board that some of us visit infrequently, if at all. I've duplicate posted several times myself.

Follow on to the River Find SKS

It's a long video, but it's bookmarked with firing strings, so easy to jump around. I'd say he was fairly safe and systematic in his approach to firing it on a string then finally getting behind the receiver himself. The SKS is a tough platform.

Thanks for sharing - amazing video!

Winder why it was there and for how long?  I'm sure that had to be days to clean it up.

I agree he was doing a good job at taking it one step at a time.  one more SKS has been saved.  thumb1 thumb1 thumb1
