Said it many times including on here. The SKS is a fine rifle ... right up to around the $300.00 mark. Anymore than that and it loses ALL its appeal. I had my last one in 2013 right after joining here and it didn't have two matching numbers. So I cut it down into a homemade Paratrooper. And believe it or not not long after that another member wanted it.Will forever and always will be $69, crate special, pieces of ****
Anyway during Covid I traded into a legit Norinco Paratrooper. Given what they go for now I never expected to own another one. So this one was pure luck. I won't let this one get away since they're all gold plated these days.
