I paid $375 for my Russian SKS. All matching except for the stock, which is Russian military and force-matched to the gun. Oddly enough, it has Izhevsk property markings (I'm unaware of any SKSs being made outside of Tula).
Great gun.
Yep, Izhevsk made SKSs, they just are kinda rare (only made them until '50 if I'm not mistaken)
Nice nagants
Yeah, california did kind of rip me off, but thats the cost of living here. The owner of the shop was selling it for someone else.
forgot to mention that it has all matching #s no chinese characters and imported by GLNIC in L.A.
I love finding out the history of my rifles, and despite what info i do have, i want more! it's driving me crazy
The problem is that the gas port wasn't lined up properly with the tick mark on the other part of the rifle. I've read this will prevent the gas from escaping. I had no way of adjusting it because of my utility tool being worn out.
And yes, I did a thorough cleaning and functions check on it before taking it to the range. It's my own fault for thinking the piston system would still work right with a misaligned port.
The S/27 1937 came in this week. A really sweet rifle, with a healthy amount of wear to it and proof markings all over the place, right down to the screws. Really shows how exacting the Germans were early on with the K98k.
You suck ! Do you have any idea how long I've been scowering the local shops and shows for an all/mostly matching, non-import '42 or earlier Oberndorf K98? And I'm talking about some of the best shows in the region
! And the gun show is this weekend and I spent so much on Christmas presents that I can only afford a few 50 round mags for my new PS90 D guess I have something to be happy about, LOL).
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair !
