Wow....nice sale there. The bar has been set.

That still must sting a little to let go...gorgeous gun. I never read into those much since they are pipe dream rare...I didn't know some were converted without respect to the rarity.

I was impressed by the first time I had seen the difference in the metric system....no need for the vegetable debate.

That's the quality level I would like to return my unknown Chinese /26\ to. Really makes me wish I knew it's history and how it got to the USA.

Thanks guys. I was happy with the sale, and the new owner is too. He is actually someone who I have talked to via email quite a few times, who always inquires me about SKSs he buys. I tried to represent the rifle as accurately as I could, with it being not as well known as some other SKSs. I picked a reserve that I felt was reasonable for that gun, and it seemed others were on the same mark. So not too bad. I did hate to see it go, as I spent over a year trying to find one, searching the depths of the internet for hours every night. But like my East German, I can say I owned it, and now someone else can enjoy it as well.
