After looking at some guns at a local gun shop. No intentions to buy any guns I looked at a SKS rifle. After looking at 2 different ones a guy there talked me into buying one of them. They had an original with like the plastic stock and a Russian one with matching numbers and the original wood. I bought the Russian one. It's a 1953R 762x39 Russia

I will have to get pictures of it then. I don't know much about these guns so I will have to read up on them.... Any good places to learn or read or even discuss would be helpful.

I had one... sold it for $150 a few years ago when they went for $200-250.

The Russian variants are really nice, one of the best IMO. Most of the guys on this site are really good 24hourcampfire.com — "BIG EYES: Seeing Is Believing" (Rick Bin)

I've got a Yugo SKS, and it shoots great! That cosmoline blows to remove, but it can be done. I found that the oven does work well, but it smells pretty bad. Minerall spirits and brake cleaner are also good for getting it out of the smaller crevises

I also have a Yugo SKS and it is one of my favorite guns.

Looks great Ryan! The adjustable stocks are nice

I'll have to get a pic of mine I replaced the stock with a polymer one, in Realtree camo :approved:

It is one of my favorite guns and is surprisingly accurate at long range.
