Well, thanx for all your suggestions on my previous post. I ended up buying both of these! The SAR1 was covered with an oily protectant and looks like a new rifle!
The SKS is rough looking, but appears to be in very good mechanical condition. It did not come with stripper clips so I will have to get some of those. Also, no manual. I will have to find one or see if I can figure out how to strip it to clean it.
Did not have much time to play with them last night. I remember reading another thread about using Simple Green to clean handguns. I tried this on the 2 thirty round and 1 ten round mags that I got with the gun. I disassembled the mags, sprayed it on straight from the bottle, let it set for a few minutes, then rinsed it off with very hot water. Oil was gone! I let the mags lay over night on a towel, then reassembled them this morning. Couldn't have been much easier!
Now when I figure out how to take the rifles apart, I will try the Simple Green on them.
I am real anxious to try these rifles out! Hopefully this weekend.
Thanx for all your help. I think the "bug" has bit!!
