Was invited to a shoot with a buddy at his buddy's place. I take a bunch of toys, including an Albanian SKS...
After seeing the SKS, his buddy goes "I've got an old SKS that my father brought back from the war, but it doesn't work". I tell him I'm pretty familiar with them, and if he wants to get it, I would take a look at it for him.
He comes back a few minutes later with an SKS in a Russian Laminated Stock. I'm thinking it some old Russian with a bull story.
He hands it to me, I look down at the receiver cover, and what do I see....
Of course, I take it all down, fix the bolt and took the following pictures. When I was done, I got to test fire it, worked like a charm...I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it when it was back together due to my batteries went dead...
Now, any info you can give me on it, including a value (it's not for sale, I just want to give him some good info on it)....
No import marks.
All matching numbers except the stock.
Don't know about the dial? on the side.
Has a gas cutoff?
Thinks he has some paperwork on it somewhere that his dad gave him with it. Was told it was taken off a dead solder by his father in Korea....
Rare finds are still out there....
