I traded for my first sks and it was a Russian! I traded a Clinton era Wasr-10 for it plus some other goodies. I'm very glad that I'm now the proud owner of a Russian sks :D

I posted an SKS video?? I don't recall that, I don't think my Tula has been out in years, I will check.

Nope, I don't have any SKS videos yet .

Nice. My one and only SKS is a 54 Tula. Having it, I never really felt the need for another.

I did make a video of it and for some reason it's not only missing from my playlist on youtube, but from my memory as well. I could swear I hadn't touched that rifle since 2006, I don't remember making the video, cleaning the rifle before that, or putting it away afterward. Worse yet I haven't stumbled over it sitting about someplace recently. Total blank, now I have to wonder what else is lost in the memory.

:pointup: Same thoughts here on the Russian Tula, I have had multiple SKS rifles from all over, all I kept was the Russian Tula, nothing else really seemed to measure up.

I tried along time ago just to have one, just one, it didn't work out so well for me. :oops: :lol:

I like looking at my Russian the best, and I like shooting my Yugo the best.
