Wow!

That is amazing.. Did you find that at a gun show?

Nope, got it from a family member who got it from a guy probably 15-20 years ago

Very Nice!!! This brings back nostalgia for me. My 14th birthday present from mom and dad was this exact box/accessories with the exception I didn't have the laminated stock with rear cross bolt. Mine was a 1955 Tula bought for $99 in 1993.

Mine is a 1953 tula, got it for $400 (recently, not in the 90s) which is not bad for today's prices. By the way do you remember if yours came with an extra unmarked magazine?
I've actually been thinking about trading the sks but then again when am I going to come across another that is this complete? Except maybe gunbroker for $$$

It did not come with any extra mags. Or the buttstock piece in your photo on the ziplock bag.

Sadly I got rid of it years ago (young and dumb). Bought one like it later on, but its not the same....One of my many regrets. $400 is a great price these days.

If I were you, I'd hold on to it.... you will never find another so complete.

The original owner must have added them. I actually tried putting on the rubber butstock piece yesterday (for length not recoil!) and I was having trouble getting the top screw to fit. Maybe it's supposed to be on an Ak or something.

That's possible.

 

[Slowpoke]

Here are a couple of mine. BTW, I will probably post them on the classifieds section soon. The second one is a Norinco, but I cannot identify the first one.


This is the only marking I see on the first one.

 

[HA556]

That first one is a Yugo SKS.

Thank you. I heard it was a paratrooper model, but it's been a long time since I bought it. Also, is that a grenade launcher on the front?

 

[HA556]

Also, is that a grenade launcher on the front?

Yes, and paratrooper models are shorter in the barrel.

 

[Slowpoke]

Sorry to be a noob on this, but how much shorter? And where do you start/end the measure?

No worries, I'm not an authoritarian either. Here's a great link:

Yooper John

 

[Slowpoke]

According to John Yooper's site, it was manufactured in 1967. And it is a Yugo M59/66.

As per Wikipedia https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Yugoslavian_SKS_M59_66_noBg.jpg

Except for the sling, looks exactly like mine.

 

[HA556]

Yeah, I'd probably keep that one if it was me!

Sporterized SKS. I know, I'm an evil person for modifying this sacred gun but it's what I like and that is really all that matters.

Just as you say my friend!

It's your gun; you can do as you like with it. It's not like there's not millions of them out there for the purists.

I like the stock. It's not really my cup of tea personally, but it's certainly eye-catching, and better than a lot of the plastic stocks you see on them. How does it shoot?
