Re: My baby
As I don't know a great deal about the SKS I need to have stuff like this explained to me, what is it? I can see by the stock style that it's probably Clinton era. Nice looking even if I don't know much about it 
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: My baby
It is a commercial model made for US Distributors with AK mag capability. Most likely an M Series. Highly collectable for many SKS owners.
Pretty high priced now a days. But, no, it never was a battle rifle. A lot of different US Distributors wanted Chinese SKS that they could sell for Premium prices, so they had the Chinese assemble these to Distributor Specs. As far as for shooting, I have heard only very good about them.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Re: My baby
This one looks nice, mine however was converted into a "para" rifle with AK mag out of an original military surplus SKS by the Chinese. I call it the bang/shit rifle, one bang and the mag falls out right onto your foot prompting the screaming of shit.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: My baby
yea no such problem with this baby but im dieing laughing reading your post
Re: My baby
Certainly called the SKS-M. They came with either a Monte Carlo or three versions of the Thumbhole stock, as shown. The original mags were 5-round capacity only, but work very well with the 30 round Chinese AK mags. For some reason, most European mags "fall out". We'll have to all pitch in to buy a Chinese mag for JYD, so he doesn't keep traumatizing the range master with colorful language.
The Hungarian AK mags also seem to have decent success in the SKS-M. I shortened two of them to 20 round capacity to make the gun a bit more ergonomic from the bench. Really killer to fire off several mags-full in succession. Glad that X39 is still relatively cheap!

No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....
