The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I bought an M44 from them as well, 1944 with a laminated stock and WP Polish army markings in the same spots. Fireballs, anyone?

I also find it interesting that the M44 and SKs are the same length. Must have been a soviet standard length and size for everything.

What's wrong with those? I'd just put the pieces in a hollowed out chunk of 2X6 and go shooting!

On a serious note, that sucks big time. Nice that the owner has friends helping him out like that.

Imagine buying a non refurb SKS, only to have some idiot remove the bayonet and ruin the original staking (and value) based on "store policy".

Nobody ever said anything to me about bayonets at any range I've been to, whether SKS or Mosin.

It's not Chinese. That's his Romanian. And that is a nice stock for any Romy.

I meant the lowermost Type 56 in his grouping.

Very nice group! The bottom Type 56 has the nicest stock I've seen on a Chinese SKS!

America runs on fear. And dunkin donuts.

Praise Crom we still get surplus here.

I find that accuracy is the same. Russians are prettier though. If you want a shooter, go with the Marstar $75 deal and bang away. Yuo get a new unissued Type 56 for $75 when you buy a crate of ammo.

BBQ paint is durable, but just racking the bolt will make some little scuffs on the rails. Your rifle looks to have been vaccuum packed or something! Sure looks to me like it went home and into the safe, end of story. Very sweet black bolt!

L-R: 49, 50NR, 51NR, 52, 53, 53NR, 54NR, 54NR, 55 stamped "D" NR, "I" Letter, 55 stamped "K", "K" NR in laminate stock. NR= Non Refurb. Some of these may qualify as "unissued", I refuse to use the term. Took them out for inspection and new pics, hope...

I've never seen a non refurb Izhevsk in person from either year of production, but I generally try to grab up any Izhevsk I find. I got a new '54 refurb the other day and thought I'd update the family photo. The first 4 on the left are '53 Izzies, the next 6 are 1954's. All refurbs. The new rifle is...

I scored another refurb 1954 Izhevsk the other day, will update the family photos when I gert the chance.

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to some gun pics.

I think this is my new favorite http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/RMXC51/IMG_0585_zps693235f4.jpg "K" series non refurb in original laminate stock. But the one I shoot all the time lately is my factory 625 Type 56, because I don't care what happens to it if, for example, I didn't get to...

black paint was applied to some rifles during the refurb process. Originally all Russian SKSs were blued.

Brake cleaner. Works almost instantly and no risk of parts damage. Rattle rattle goes the firing pin.

My 49 has a 90° gas block, black spike, BBQ paint and a laminate stock. I'm hoping for a better one down the road.

Thanks for looking!

Today I added a non refurb "K" letter series Tula in an original red laminate stock. Gotta wipe the cosmoline off it, then I'll post pics. I think it is going to be the nicest SKS I have.
