Well I took the plunge and joined the SKS club. Found a IO import at my LGS, they had 4. I grabbed the one that matched the most, turns out everything is a match stock included. Here's a couple teaser pics, I'm still cleaning and need to enter it in the database.(http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd323/packerdoug67/SKS%20and%20gun%20stuff/IMG_1739_zpsauxqcbhc.jpg)

Looking great so far jeepguy! The bluing on the metal looks to be in excellent shape! thumb1
Barring some major internal mechanical issues, you won't be disappointed with your first SKS!
So far that looks like a super nice one! Cant wait to see a full day light spread. thumb1
Thanks gents. The bluing is really nice, really no flaws there. The stock looks like a battle rifle. If it wasn't a matching #'s gun I would think about refinishing it, it does have a lot of character.
nice thumb1. can't wait to see it after it's cleaned up. good find.
Looks like it should turn out to be a fine looking rifle, as well as a nice piece of history. :)
Congrats jeepguy, looks like a danged good snag! clap1
Finally got a picture with it's Yugo brother.

Nice! I still have a spot in my safe for a ghost! Nice rifle!

:o Wow man That is definitely on the sweet end of the recent ghost imports. That stock is really sweet and the metal/bluing is gorgeous. You did very well thumb1
