Most excellent presentation, Martin! Now I know even more about a SKS carbine I'll never be able to afford, even if I could find one!

I mainly put the PSO on my AK, because it was just lying there and looked cool. A better idea would be to get the Kalinka side rail (I owned one once & they are great) and then mount whatever optic you want onto the Weaver rail. I had a red dot on mine.

SA, those are the same as the one on my AK. Just need to confirm how accurate they are out to 300m. Past that, I think the issue will be the x39 round, not the scope.

OO, since I wasn't certain what would happen ranging with my LPS scope, which are also referred to as a PSO-1, PSOP or TIP-2 scope (confused everyone?)...I decided to look up some things. Apparently, these scopes are range calibrated for the same MOA, so they will work on both calibers. That's at le...

I guess I like having an optic that I could use for quick distance, elevation and windage adjustments and the TIP2 will do that. Now, what I don't know, is how well it will work with the 7.62x39 round vs the 7.62x54r, which is what it is designed to be used with. Once the weather gets a little bette...

Honestly, I'm glad I don't have a C&R. I'd be so much more in debt, plus it leaves more for you guys!

Well, I haven't seen them for under $100 in a long time, so...Centerfire Systems used to have them pretty cheap, but that was without the rubber boots. If he'll go for it, I can just send you cash, plus a finders fee, of course. I don't want you using your own money for this, but I appreciate it! Ju...

I have seen these on-line for $99.00 for scope and mount. The only thing that has held me back is that the add says it fits "some" AK side rails. My AK is a WASR-1, and I would not be knowing if it would be a fit or not. Yeah, that is the trick and not all rails will work. The only ones t...

My local gun shop has one of these scopes and the mount for $125. It is also off a PSL. He also has one on a AK and says it shoots good. :D Des, see if he'll go $100 and I'll buy it! The one I have is a little beat up aesthetically. I should have bought 20 of these things a year ago when they were ...

Nice, Drago! thanks. can you get any accuracy with it? To be honest, I haven't taken her out and re-sighted the scope in. When it was on my PSL, I was getting 2-3 MOA. Here's what the reticle looks like on these. The numbers on left are range finding. Very neat scopes and they are only about $100-1...

That's a hard question. Some of mine are "prettier" than others, but some other's are more rare. I'd have to say, since I'm an Ex-DDR SKS collector, that my '49 Ex-DDR is my favorite, plus she's nice to look at, too. I doubt I'll ever see another one, or if I do, be able to realistically a...

This is what they look like. They are called a LPS 4x6 TIP2 scope. I took this one off of my Romanian PSL when I sold it and put it on my WASR. There's also supposed to be a rubber eye cup/eye relief on the end, but I can't seem to find mine. http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad210/DragoAK/Romanian...

Kodi, first off, welcome over here! Second, I'm thinking I should NEVER have advised you to jump on that worthless POS and then stole it out from under you!! j/k! When it comes to specimens like yours, I really don't think they can get any better. Maybe if you had a photo of Mr. Siminov kissing it a...

Finally, someone with the balls to claim a 1980 Romanian exists. OldPre68 will be happy as he's been saying this for years and people continue to laugh. I always believed you, buddy!!

What a tease! Now post pics of the other side!!!

This is very cool!

I looked at the winning bidder and "supposedly" he has bought a number of things from the same seller. Totally looks shilled, to me, but I don't know this market or the players. If we are talking SKS's, then I can spot some of the unscrupulous seller, pretty easily. This is why I even brou...

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=276456789 Sorry, if this has been discussed already. I looked and looked and didn't see a thread on this. Maybe my noob-ness is showing, but I can't figure this auction out...at all. The starting bid was like any normal price/starting bid on an M38...

Nice looking stock on that one, Howie. What's the stamping look like on the bayonet?

BTW, I didn't realize I had broken links. They are fixed now, with the addition of a really crisp bayonet marking of a /R\.

It would, at this point, be hard to deny that people aren't willing to give up cold hard cash to obtain a SKS. I sure know I am!
