Just picked it up today. Figured I'd post a few pics here

Some replacement parts and one force matched trigger group but it's still a 1953 Izhevsk so I'm happy.

Do you have a photo of the serial numbers on the receiver and dust cover?

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.

Nice! Probably someone replaced the original magazine with a duckbill then lost the original and a later owner found a Russian 10 round magazine to restore it. Though not original, I like the laminate stocks. Good looking '53  thumb1

The mag was probably mixed up when it was imported. Canadian rifles must be pinned to 5rnds and some places didn't keep mags together.
