Hello all, I am an SKS collector, most of my collections are non-refurb Russian SKS's. I would like to learn more here. Thank you.

Welcome from NE Wisconsin!  Enjoy this place, relax, and have some fun.  I have 3 Russians and 0 are non-refurbed.  Sounds like a nice collection.

Welcome from Montana!

Still awaiting my first Russian opportunity to fall in my lap, so you won't get much from me...but others here will certainly grant you a bucketload of knowledge.

Hi pcke2000.  I recognize the username from gunboards as well as sksboards. Welcome to SKS-Files! 

I think you'll find these boards are a bit different (hopefully a bit more easy going with a less rigid & fanatical "peons should know your place!" feel) than certain others.  We freely admit that we simply don't have all the answers and that an educated guess is labelled as an educated guess and not dictated as gospel.  We all learn together and everyone has ideas that at least deserve a place at the table.

We love talking about all sorts of different SKSs, post up anything you want and make yourself at home.
