Slovenian HonorGuard rifles at AIM

Probably our only chance in years to get a fresh minty HG SKS. I don't need it, shouldn't get one, and... I will post pics when she arrives.

Ahh, good to have a fellow gun addict aficionado to commiserate with

Wow, sales picked back up after the spouses fell asleep on the East Coast 

[Loose}{Cannon]

Laff... More like football and beer are finished.

[Greasemonkey]

Naw,  the wives let the boys hold their man purses for a bit, they figured it had been a while since the got to hold them.

[Loose}{Cannon]

How many GM?

[Greasemonkey]

Bah!!!  None, zilch, zero, nadda... To.....pimpish for my liking.  To much like a '57 Plymouth Fury bumper with wood accents.

Maybe if it included the spiffy serial matched little police looking outfit with a log book shoved in the left rear pocket, I might have started to breath hard.

[Loose}{Cannon]

Laff..   How I know you **** on them?   

[Greasemonkey]

I didn't defacate on them  , they just didn't excite me, no movement was detected.  Scary I know, it happens from time to time.

I can't give green paper for a non movement inducing item, that would be like me buying dress shoes and a pair of khakis,  voluntarily.

Am I missing something here? These seem rare. Perfect condition. What's not to love?

For me is the glorified wall hanger status that turns me off.  I'm in the same boat as GM, they just don't excite me.  Sure they look pretty and they are rare & pristine, but there's other rare and pristine guns out there for around the same price.  I might wind up regretting, but hey, at this point I don't!

These are 100% functional weapons in which were made differently for a purpose.  This purpose although symbiotic, is well known and an important chaper in the Yugo sks history.  These guns have never been imported before and we may never see them again. For me, it does not matter if they are chrome, rust, painted, blued, short, or long, its about collecting a historical variation.  I also do not believe anyone is going to lose money on them.  Its pretty impressive that 300 were available to start, and in less then 24 hrs at $700 there is less then 1/3 remaining.

[Loose}{Cannon]

I'll also add that Slovenia is roughly the size of New Jersey having just 7,300 active duty military personnel.  Im guessing the guard unit using these guns is very very small.  Seeing that these rifles are still in use, I'm very surprised they let any of them go at all yet alone aprox 300.

Down to 83 rifles!

Correct, but it's a "fictional weapon", one may flip one in the future for a Trump sum price, I just can not get excited over one, while it is a excellent display of Communism, all it did in life was twirl, flip, spin and click on the ground. I see a glorified gymnastic rifle, it didn't earn the hard life, blood and guts markings, carried by a lonesome soldier scared to death, half froze and soaked, like so many other weapons did, it lived in a locker safe from harm, rage and carnage. It was simply pulled out for special occasions and to perform for V.I.Ps and what not. Also, I guess I look around the speculation in the future value, I buy what excites me, regardless of what it may be or not be worth 5, 20 or 80yrs down the road. Different strokes, for different folks, it's what makes the world go round.

[Loose}{Cannon]

Oh, I agree.  It wont fit everyones collection.   

But I'm pretty sure this isn't a fictional weapon.  Its right there... Touch it, feel it, stroke it.    And last time I looked, those ARE soldiers with them in the pics...  Most all of these milsurps were simply stored or perhaps carried around in non wartime activities.   

I get it... Not for everyone.  But lets not start bashing a rare sks thats selling like hotcakes on an sks forum.   

[Loose}{Cannon]

I don't see anything dif here when compared to any other weapon which is like new or 'unissued' etc.  Cherries yugos, new chicoms, as issued russos.. The list goes on and on.

Come to think of it.... How do we know these guns were not involved in plenty of war-use ethnic-cleansing before being selected for HG rework and service?
