Show off your sks.Can be from any country and in any configuration. I will upload a picture of my chinese milatary type 56 sks as soon as I find my camera cable.
I have a Sweet Russian, Romanian & Albanian I'll post when I get time. Russian & Rommy are beautiful, the Albanian is a bit rough like most I've seen but shoots great !
I don't see any reason to leave a Chinese Norincos in tact or preserve anything about them. I doubt they will be collectible in my lifetime...so I play dressup with them...without spending much on them. Tapco, UAG, and a little NC Star is about as extravagant as I'm willing to go on them. Here's my Norincos, one set up for tactical, one set up for sniping.
I kinda like my old Yugo the way it is though so I left it alone. It has all the grenade launch stuff on it and what looks like some trench carvings. I suspect this thing may have possibly seen some battle. Butt stock notches = kills? maybe? who knows? maybe a tiny tiger clawed at it.
Just got a SKS yesterday once i get it all cleaned up I will post some pics. Believe it or not in the 30 + years i have hunted this is my first centerfire rifle.
This one is mine. It's a Factory 106 Chinese. I forget what year it is, but it's a great shooter. I also did the bolt mod to it and occasionally use it in 2 gun competitions.
I call the Yugoslavian one "Shelly", she is my favorite range gun.
I call the Chinese SKS the "hog slayer" since I have killed several wild boars with it.
