Ahem.

In case you haven't noticed, this IS sks anonymous.

Addiction.....

Call the addiction hotline....NOW!! We will "ENABLE" the addiction, coffee and dounuts be dammed, lead, gunpowder and all things that go bang.

Coffee and doughnuts are for after you run out of lead and gunpowder

I'm already at work... Correct Direction..

I don't classify as an SKS expert anyway.. Enabling, wiseassery, blowing money.... I might be an expert, but expert on an SKS...

That's what RM, P32, and that M08 guy is for.

RE "experts": since joining SKS-F I've learned that one (amongst the many) of most value-added aspects of the site - it's a place where a bunch of folks can sort through practically any opinion or view - and not end up going into butt hurt tailspin. Collective EXPERTise.

That was the main intention when we founded this site back in '14. Just to have a nice place where we could consolidate info, gather data, and simply talk w/o getting wound around the axle like you see on so many other sites around the web.

Other sites, especially SKSBoards (AKA the 'other' boards) would have exactly that where one of the good ole' boys would set you straight and tell you how ridiculous your question was, berate you for calling it a 'Norinco', remind you that you didn't introduce yourself, belittle you because either you weren't there when they were imported so your opinion is irrelevant or you don't have 3 East Germans in your collection so your opinion is irrelevant, and finally pooh pooh the gun you just bought because it had a mismatched receiver cover.

We finally had enough and SKS-Files is the result.

Plus, the forum's layout, archives, search, photo uploading, etc. is tip top. Great web design choice!

running-man · January 17, 2019, 03:48:18 PM

We intended the SKS-Files.com to be as easy to use as possible so it could compliment our SKSGuide.com. The info on the Guide can be discussed in the forum and any breakthroughs we make via discussions on the forum should get moved to the guide. Unfortunately, some portions of the SKSGuide has fallen far behind in respect to the most up to date data and observations on the forums and others have simply never been finished. Life gets in the way and working long hours for free (along with very little recognition and the occasional rotten tomato tossed our way because someone simply refuses to open their eyes and look at the data) just doesn't appeal to that many people, go figure.

We will get there, but it's certainly a journey!
