Howdy Mates,

I came up on a K series Russian over at Calguns, good price but....per the sellers description "Clean as issued Russian rifle, never fired, modernized for effective use" or something to that effect....please God no...picture shows TAPCO T6, receiver cover mount....argh....PM & email the seller asking if he had the original hand guard, matching numbered stock and Tula cover. Says it's been a long time since he did the "upgrade" but maybe they're in the box. WTF!!!! As issued $89 dollar SKS45 with box. I've never seen a NIB 45 with a box in the wild. Anyway, says he'll dig around for the stuff this weekend. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I'm already losing sleep over it. Seen one too many with those vital parts gone missing. We'll see, PAX

"modernized for effective use" in other words Bubba has given it his full Fudd treatment.
