Until I bought this refurb,I had only bought non-refurbed Russian SKSs.

'51 or '52?

I am sort of prejudiced of course since it looks a lot like mine...but I like it

Nice one Woodbeef.

I like that red in the laminate! What year is it?

Nice looker!!

Here's why I bought it. I think an Izhevsk in a laminate is the epitome of refurbs,even more so when the handguard is laminate too.

I have to agree with you. I have two now, one original blue, the other a BBQ Receiver. Just could not let them go at the time I got each.
I mean, would turn down a perfect 10? Even if she did wear an ugly dress to the dance?

Could almost tell by the fine metal finish that it was an Izhevsk, even before you showed the receiver cover logo.

And, Old Outlaw. My dad always told me the perfect ten had an eight body and a two mind.

Hey Sean-Here is my 53 Izhevsk refurb in the laminate. It does not show the laminate handguard you sent me but goes well with your 54. The laminate handguard is on it now.

Some nice looking Izhevsk rifles there.

looking good Don. How did the tool work out out on the ferrule pin?

Dang, you said refurb, but I think you meant to say refurbed to perfection! I like it!

I was just talking about colorful commie laminated stocks in another thread, this rifle has a good example of one. This stock looks like what you would expect to see on a commercial replacement laminated rifle stock that we buy today. They were ahead of their time.
