Hey from PA

[BadMonk]

Just a short note to say "hey" to everyone.  I'm semi-retired (for health reasons) in PA.  Not new to firearms but fairly new to the SKS rifle.  Currently own an early Russian. Nice rifle, except for the bayonet that sags badly.

Welcome aboard from Washington State 

The sagging bayonet could be due to the wrong collar. Post some pictures if you want us to take a look.

Here's a link on how to post pics here, just in case you're unfamiliar with image hosting sites: http://sks-files.com/index.php?topic=87.0

It's definitely the wrong collar.  I need the early Russian straight cut collar and all I've been able to find are the later Russian, Chinese slant cuts.  Been searching for the right collar but no luck.  ANY help is much appreciated.  Thanks!

Welcome....   

I may have the collar you need.  I'll try to remember to look when I get home in a few days. May wanna remind me via pm on thurs...

Thank you.  I set a reminder to myself to remind you.
