New collector guide will set sks collecting back three decades.

[Boris Badinov]

It might be worth buying just to prevent new collectors from acquiring it.  Its a difficult read as it is impossible to get very far without stumbling upon some new error or ridiculous claim. Im not exaggerating.

Im alternating between the Soviet and China chapters.

It would be humorous,  but there will real consequences. Because there is some serious misinformation. And lots of it.

Some highlights:
-1million rifles per year in china as early as 1957?
-1 mil serials from 1957?
-4 mil serial?
-3.9mil serial fron /26\?

Ill refrain for now from droning on about the horrors in the soviet chapter. But trust me, it's possibly worse.

I would prefer to recommemd that no one buy this book, but I don't want anyone to take my word on it. Ibesides, it might actually be necessary to buy this book, tonknow what we're facing.

I’m waiting for the special edition that includes all the flat-earth information.

Well, this site has RM and a whole bunch of others doing research and REASONED, evidence based, supposition.  Other sources have, "well, a guy told me...", "that's what has always been known...", and, "I remember seeing...".  .

Don't forget "It was like that when I got it" PAX
