My new Chinese SKSs...from Atlantic Firearms

[High Noon]

Here are the two I just got from Atlantic.  They have not been cleaned up yet, but I wanted to show their condition. 

One appears to be all matching and the other has matching metal but a replacement stock (not numbered).

Overall I'm pleased as they are in nice shape compared to what I was expecting.  A bonus is, there's no "artwork" carved in them.    One has some bluing loss though - maybe 50% or so, but the other has better bluing.  They are good overall - especially for surplus rifles via China and then Albania.

There are Arsenal /26\ and made in 1969 - based on a 14 serial number.

Thank you!

I took a chance on 'em - might not be so lucky next time...lol.  Got two with the idea that at least one would be a good keeper.  Maybe this is a good overall batch though...? 

They are PW import marked - same as the ones I got from Classic.

They are probably just as good or perhaps a bit better overall, than my two from classic.  Will know more when I can really see them cleaned up.

Those were good, but one had some pitting (even with all the cosmoline!) and the other one had some gouges in the stock.  Both functioned perfect - 125 rds each without any issue.  Hopefully these will run through ammo just as good.
