Sharp EYE for a Russian SKS

On occasion, the importers missed a translation. On the following '54 Tula, Century Arms didn't stop at the usual two Cyrillic letter prefix, and kept translating into the number sequence, mistaking a 3 for an E.

The result was an EYE for an unissued Soviet carbine. And oh, it's rather sharp.

Pics, and thanks for looking.

Daaaaaaang! That is super nice. Look at the deep blue finish how it contrasts with the gorgeous deep red stock.

The wood looks to be light with the color coming from the finish. The brushed strokes lend it a charm that was probably absent in the raw wood.

I have quiet a number of Chinese and Russian SKS carbines and they all seem to work perfectly. They are one of my favorites for a day at the range.
