Anyone here collect the commercial versions of the sks?

Did someone ask about Albanians?

I think mine are relatively common but, My rarest are my 1891's, My very clean T53 and my 91/59. I guess the Romanian would come in somewhere and the sniper version. I also have this really ugly black painted one with a strange rear site a T in a triangle,dated 1932 with a sa in a box on the side. S...

I too feel that the Izhevic production was a finer made rifle. But the differances between an unissued 1954 Tula and Izhevis is difficult to determine. But I also wonder if that preception is because more of these went directly into storage. When these Russiandss were first imported the cleanist cam...

JYD, can I have it? :D Please? No, :lol: It just occurred to me, the Egyptians made the AK rifle, I have one, but I never thought to ask if they also made the SKS. I always just call the Rasheed the Egyptian SKS because when I say Rasheed to most people I get a blank stare in return or they say gaz...

If you like the Yugo you should try a few other nationalities. My favorite is the chinese para sks. There were lots of Chinese sks imported and many were not in the best of condition. So be sure you get one that is not too battle weary. Also there are severl versions of commercial sks available. Suc...

Whats an SKS? Just kidding.
Thanks for the sks forum.

S&W model 19. Best trigger and best overall 357 I own.
