Hey y'all I wanted to chime in here on the sks at SOG. I ordered one couple weeks ago and payed the 25
Hand select fee. The rifle is in beautiful shape and is a sinco soviet
There is a 5 digit serial number only and no other markings
On it. All parts match including the stock. Bad thing is
I just had a stem cell transplant and
Can't touch it yet. My wife got it out of the box for me to see and it looks like they were stored in a barrel of grease. They running a little higher now and mine was '350 at the door. Oh.....blueing appears to
Be nice as well. I'll try to get ya some pics when
I can

The "grease" is cosmoline. It is a magical substances that aids in recovery from stem cells procedures. The smell will make you happy, increasing endorphins and white blood cells and you'll be better in no time.

Good for you Righteous. You have 2 keepers. The SKS and especially a wife that would open a rifle box for a healing man. Here's to a fast recovery so we can get a range report.

Well I manage to get my gloves and mask on and get this thing cleaned. No a easy chore on this one.
Here's one pic I downloaded and dunno when I have time to shoot it. Didn't change the stock and only wiped it down with mineral spirits. Trigger on this one ain't half bad either.

I've got my two to do tomorrow, gonna have to hit walmart up for some gloves for sure, they're liberally slathered in the stuff, which is good... just a PITA to clean off!

I boiled all small parts I could in water and dawn dish washing soap. Did a great job and I just went back over then with tooth brush and qtips. The barrel and reciever was the worst and ended up taking it to the truck wash and steam cleaned it there. Finished it up at home to make it cleaner. Stock I want orginal and only wiped it down with MS. I'm happy with it.
