Hello, everyone! My name is Zach and I am the new guy helping Mr. Murray. He is a wonderful teacher, and I am learning a lot from him about SKSs and guns in general. Wish me luck over this next few months to a year so that I can make sure he can take a rest!

Welcome aboard, I saw your post over on the other, now seemingly de-funked, SKS forums. We're not going anywhere and there is a lot of good folks and info on the SKS platform as well as others
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

Yeah, and my boss is pretty pissed at Ranger about all his lost stuff. 20 years of info and sh!t down the drain.

He should be able to get into some archived type files to retrieve that. There are people for that, I think they call them nerds, or geeks. rofl  rofl

Welcome from Kali and a past client of one of the best SKS trigger men around. Never hesitate to reach out to the fellas if needed and good luck. Ben, great work on the clocking verification. Be well guys, PAX

You won't hear much goodwill headed Ranger's way from this board...this whole site exists as a big middle finger to him and the bobbleheads who ran SKSboards into the ground.  Used to be such a great site way back when.  Oh well.  dntknw1

Would suggest you and Ben pull the info & posts that you want from the internet archive while it's still available (Here is Murray's board):

(Ben's Board @ SKSBoards)

It will not be up forever.  The wayback machine is very limited with respect to forums in that you can't be 'logged in' to see PM's, hidden members only boards, any non-external linked photos, or do any board related things.  It's a snapshot of text and that's pretty much it, but you can copy & paste it to save it at least.

I wish I would have known this when Calguns crashed and burned. I used my PMs like a Rolodex, now gone all gone, PAX
