I moved this thread on over to Semi Auto Rifles...as that seemed like a better fit....

TNT,
It was a good deal and kinda a push on perceived value, plus being in Kali and trading with an LGS, it doesn't count against 5 annual sales. I'd had the SKSs for a few years. Within 3 months I moved 10 SKSs to 3 fellas. 2 guys picked up 3 each, one guy got 4 including an Albanian. That thinned out my pile to 29 keepers, Russian, Albanian, Romanian, Yugo (M59C), Chinese, and 9 Paratroopers. PAX
Sorry, it's generic phraseology for both sexes.Hey OP--Re your addressing us as 'Gentlemen' or 'Fellas'-- NWFA is not a male only forum. At least, I don't think it is....(unzip, rustle, rustle, zip)...Nope. It isn't.
Im curious if the SKSs will stay high in price. Theoretically they should fall after the panic buying, but there have been enough new gun owners join the club that demand might increase in a few years as they find out about military surplus. A good spot for you to be in! If you ever get tired of moving all that heavy annoying steel around, let me know, I would gladly lighten your load!
I don't think enough folks (me included) know about the FN-49. They are definitely under represented. Ive been shooting for about 20 years (probably less than you), and I literally just learned about them last week. You can't really fall into information on them, you have to look for it. I think they get skipped over due to thier non flashy looks. I mean there was only 30,000 Egyptians made, and you can still easily find new surplus barrels under $100! How does your Egyptian shoot btw? And whats the length of pull like? I know Egyptian Hakims are short, and ive been curious about their FNs. 8mm is my "big" caliber and I wouldnt mind owning one.
