First SKS on the way!

First SKS on the way!  Actually; maybe two.  But that's another post.

I know I overpaid; however I don't have time to look in local shops (and I am impatient!) and I wan't something "as-issued" or as close as possible.  It's a 1953 Tula with a nice color and what appears to be pretty good condition.  All numbers match and the stock numbers look unmolested.  It will go nice with my "as-issued" Tula akm with original finish and wood.  Will post pics in a few days.

Good deal.  Hopefully we didn't have (too) much influence in forcing you to buy that SKS.

Careful though, 1 turns into 2, then into 4, and well you see where that leads right?

  Out of the gates at a run.  Good going. Looking forward to pics.

Answer: Exponentially increasing fun (and exponential decay of the gun fund)

Just curious if it is the 53' as issued on gun broker recently? If so that was a very nice example and one h,ell of a start for a collection, 53' is a harder year to find.
Congrats

I think we are referring to the same one.  And thanks, excited to get my hands on it.  I also have what I believe to be an equivalent 54 in the mail to me as well.
