Its not a chevy... but Ill take it. Noticed on the boards its been a while since some one had posted something so with business a little slow this afternoon I thought I would share this rifle. I have not shot it yet... as I have several other shooter sks's. Any one know how many were produced in 57?

Nice!

I love the Romanian SKSs. I have a 1957 DE block as well.

Based on serial number data collected, about 6K, or 10% of total Romanian production, were made in 1957.

A Romy! I didn't think these were out there anymore. Nobody talks or posts about them.

Good stuff Bmont!

I heard that.

Another country that I've never even seen in person.

I'd like to see a bit more of that sling.

Nice Romy! Is that an all-matching '57? I don't see that many all-matching Romy's and yours looks like a nice example.
Regardless, it's a nice one! Thanks for sharing. I like that it's got a matching, correct sling, too.

I have yet to see a Romanian in the wild, and pretty seldom here. Nice carbine...ya lucky sucker!

Morning every one... busy week. Thank you for the comments on this one. Picked up about a year ago or so now and this one is all matching and fairly clean to most that I have seen.... which has not been many.

The sling on this one did not come with the rifle and it was a little hard to find but one did come my way about 6 months back now... I think I paid almost 80 bucks for the sling alone. Weird how some things go... I normally would not spend that much for a sling but these rifles have... as you can see a a particular type.

Thanks for the info Phosphorus32 I wasnt sure of that year production but thought it must be smaller than the rest because this one the first 57 I have seen in person.

Happy Friday every one!
