This is a 1954 Izhevsk refurbished in a Tula stock. (IZULA) The gun must have been one of the last referb SKS's out the arsenal door. I got it in a package deal of 3 Russians awhile back. all 3 were in century arms boxes from the early 90's unfired since referb. This one was in one of the boxes.
Like I say, It is not your everyday run of the mill Russian SkS. Its force matched in so many ways its not funny. Notice the stock got an extra amount of tar & Sasha must have had a few Vodkas at breakfast before Re- stamping the wood. The trigger group is X out and restamped . Ive seen magazines lined out before but has anyone ever seen a trigger group XXX out and restamped ?. I do shoot this one, Functions flawlessly and is very accurate. I guess I kinda like this one BAMA
Wow, that's the definition of forced matched! I have a feeling you're right...it was re-assembled with whatever parts were left and the inventory must have been getting pretty low. What a gorgeous SKS! She looks great. I love the dark wood and the blueing looks flawless.
Thanks MN, I don't know if if it's a 1 of a kind collector or an everyday shooter ! Oh well just wanted to share some intresting pics here with the gang.
Still gorgeous and finely manufactured no matter which way it was matched. X's on a trigger group are uncommon, but I've seen them before (maybe it was yours on SKS Boards?).
The Izhevsk is the cream of the crop for machining and fit. Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it. You can't wear it out in a lifetime!
sometimes mutts can surprise you. I had what the Gov't called a 1950 Tula,it was a mutt,boy could it shoot. No two numbers matched,and the only thing 1950 Tula was the top cover.
Mutt of the arsenal, runt of the litter, It sure makes these warriors easy to choose as shooters opposed to weather it should be a safe queen or not.
M08 I did post it up a few months ago on another board along with pics of trigger guard and mag. I think we can agree that this is a strange mysterious referb.
Double O as you know, our M59's stand ready and willing to the opening of our safes. We shalt not betray !!

Ya know Boss Hog, you are only 1/2 as bad as every one tells me you are.
This uncommon Russian referb resembles the most popular irises colors of the rough masculine Hall of Fame Romanian SkS. It did lack the most attractive aroma of which these firearms generally contrast before their journey to America. You might also find this breath taking fragrence on the beautiful Baltic Cinnamon tinted feminine population of its country. :Drool:

I have to admit BAMA, I would take it also. You want my FFL Receiver address? It would make a perfect belated Birthday gift to me.
I would accept it, I mean, I really would.

Yepper,and I want some of it. Nice M59 for only a small price of $800 to you. $380 to anyone other than "The Boss Hog."
Noy a bad looking SKS, I like the darker stocks, war is a dark business, the weapons of it should show that
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
