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.

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
      
1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

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.

Looks like it should turn out to be a fine looking rifle, as well as a nice piece of history.  :)

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

 :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
