Russian SKS

Post by Red Green »

Hello everyone...new here. I just found this forum after buying a Mosin. I do have a Russian 1954 Izhevsk SKS I bought this past fall and thought I would share. It is kind of unique as it is an Izhevsk but has a Tula stock, and a blued bayonet.

1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms :D

It was one of the ways they carried out the refurbishment process. Some got matte finished silver bayonets, like the later new rifles got. Others got black painted, or blued bayonets. This carbine also got a stock replacement as it has the original serial number XXXXXX'd out, and as it shows a different arsenal stamp. Great color and finish to that stock as well, beautiful.

Lots of character for sure. Nice score on getting an Izhevsk!

Those Black Blued bayonets are going for right at $100 a piece right now also!

Hello Red! Glad to see you joined over here. We have no Bubba guys over here to worry about also. You will see a lot of familiar names over here after awhile. Stick around.

There is a bunch of them down here, an Omni GLHS lives down the road, I still have my Shelby Lancer and I know where an actual running Spirit R/T lives.

My second car was a 1986 Dodge "Shelby" Charger. Looked just like this one color wise, but a more aggressive stance. I still miss it.
