The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

the sks carbine is allot of fun to shoot and great to teach kids and wives on . You will really enjoy it the more you shoot it

bet you cant have just one:)

they may be a mix of Polish and Russian look at the grips some have the star some are plain just a damn shame 100.00 ea ? I just paid 230.00 for one of them Polish Tokarev's, and thoes are all Polish. Known as the best made Tokarev's. Absolutly sickning to see the pictures but at the same time very ...

I am sure that gun will serve you well for many years to come:) No, thank you.very interesting stuff.i'm glad to have a place and people to share this with.its my first and i'm real anxious to shoot it.kind of nervous about a used gas system.i if I run into problems I know where to go though! :D

this is an example of what the UN is running around doing in the name of peace . I know its not sks related but it adds to the discussion here and as we all know its happening to sks carbines somewhere in the world as we speak. The following photos are of tokarevs and markarovs being destroyed

the major parts if not scrubbed may be the original serial number The receiver may have been scrubbed to get rid of the original factory marks Why I cannot say. especially where they bothered to put 56 type in front of the new numbers. I have even seen a receiver that was milled away to cover the or...

forgot to thank you guys for the nice comments on my answers. I do try to help with what info I have and my own take on things as I see and understand them. Many things are not explained when it comes to combat weapons especially fro the various sources and Governments . The majority of information ...

This is an odd example of a late gun that was for the commercial market. My thought is that the receiver has been scrubbed and re stamped with a way to high serial number. Looking at the 56and type character you can see below it the remnants of the original character stamping. after that the receive...

I am collecting serial numbers and factory codes for my research these must be the full number and factory code for any value no names are attached the the info . This helps me keep track of when these guns show up and any new factory codes Photos are the best as shown in the attachments. My email i...

That Damn Howie knows nothing but sure as hell surmises allot and spreads his unsubstantiated information here and some other places. He does own allot of SKS Carbines though lol

How do we change the name of this particular forum if not" SKS Forum" list each one? seems like a little extra work for someone.JGC no its a SKS forum which If I understand it correctly is what we are discussing regardless of model, or country. The nomenclature of each countries model wou...

it may be a good place to discuss SKS but its supposed to be for collectors that preserve the guns. Modifications done by the original country and Military are acceptable but anything after they surplused it are modifications that are not of interest here. I am speaking for myself others that run th...

here is some photos of my North Korea It is the third one I have owned. All three did not have conversions to rifle grenade. This one came back from Vietnam. I have no idea as to who may have done the stock. The previous owner had the papers but would not part with them or allow the dealer to give o...

this subject really belongs somewhere else besides this boards I believe all here are purists that collect the SKS as it was issued and are extremely happy to keep them that way.

That is pretty good I like it The message is clear and you did a pretty good job making it plain While not something i would expect here, It's a different way to express the boards feelings on Bubba's

some real nice guns and choices!!

you are right they are hard to find Ill post some pics of the front sight. The photos are from a good friend and fellow collector (Steve Dale) who has helped me get quite a few goodies for my collection His is serial 084 mine is 068 I have heard that on the last ones the sight was a standard SKS fro...

that is one really sweet example of a as issued Russian sks the 54 is the easiest to find but still I would leave it alone for its continued value as what it is a collectors piece

That is a really nice rifle, congrats on finding it, but........................ Dude, you need to cycle a few thousand rounds through that baby to get her broken in! An unfired rifle is an unhappy rifle! If that was the case my collection would be quite unhappy I have one shooter that I shoot why ...

Mine is my first one. It is the one i shoot ( i have over 70 of them) It is a Factory 26 Sino 56 production with well worn stock from being carried and blood rust on the reciever and top cover.(blood if left on metal will rust and deeply pit the surface where it lays)it has no finish left . It was o...
