PSA Grade 2 project

[Greatguns]

Still looks a little bare without the cleaning rod.  http://stores.polytechparts.com/sks-cleaning-rod-17-25-long-chinese-polytech-type-56-rifle/

Ebay has them too, of course.

My PSA grade 2 project is under way too.  Kind of thought I would have a project when I ordered it.  First thing I did was send the complete bolt and trigger to Murray's.  The stock has a large crack next to the left top of the receiver held together by small nails...yep, scratched the receiver.  Stock was dug out to accept the black spike bayonet (grade 2 spiker).  Small area of pitting on the receiver.  All things considered, I am ok with the project.  It is an as is, not an as was.

If you have any photos of the nail repair, I'd love to see them.  I like to see what the Albanians did to keep these rifles in service.

That black spike bayonet is likely from an Albanian SKS but we’ll need to see it to say with certainty. Worth more than a Chinese spike that can be found for about $20+/-5

I'll work on some photos.  The spike is in good shape.  The stock has no markings, bottom sling swivel and the but is quite thick.  (The last two forums I was a member on/of have gone...)  Serial #239XXX.

I've been seeing a few chinese sks's coming up with Albanian bayonets lately, seems like the PSA shipment had more of them than classic, but I don't have definitive numbers of course.
The ones I've seen with the alby bayos all had albanian replacement stocks on them (which is why I turned the offer down, if y'all remember my last sks with one of those stocks...) might have a picture somewhere if I look.
