leave it as it is !! Its your family's history , Grand dad carried it and your dad at some point played with it !! Not to sound morbid but when there all gone, you will handle the gun and smile because all that held it.

Tony did you use a credit card ?

try bending it with 2 pair of needle nose pliers ... I have made springs from piano wire

go to a hardware store and pick up an assortment of springs that look like they will work ,, try and fit and or cut to fit .

very nice !! whats the markings on the receiver ? do you have the wood for it

I almost did ! But a true non referb Russian sks is hard to find so to have the package completed is a big plus. From what I have read ,, if I remember it correct about 95 % of the Russians are referbs . but i will say im no expert I'm still reading up on them !

I met up with the guy that sold me the SKS ,, he found the factory box for it with oilier in a vinyl pouch and the ammo pouch! the bad it cost me 35 bucks but it is the box to the gun numbers are matching on the box. He did tell me the gun only has about 30 rounds through it. Its a KBI import

I almost picked up 1 of the Yugo SKS's just because they where in the grease, but at closer look they had a lot of bluing worn off. The same guy had Ruger mini 14's LE turn in's for 450.00 or 425.00 then across the room there was FAL's (Sporters) for 550.00. Eagle had a Norinco Hunter that sold for 600.00 in front of me and that made my day because mine is in better shape and I paid 425.00 2 years ago I left empty handed, not even a friggin Mosin

Before you paint that headboard fill in the teeth marks with wood filler !! Nice set up on the gun by the way

Oh crap I was going sunday petros600 went today so I wont bother going all the good deals are gone

looks like you got lucky with the weather

The M44 is nice, but I dont get what the hell the guy has on ! http://www.fox4kc.com/news/wdaf-metro-man-says-teen-mob-terrorized-his-neighborhood-20110616,0,4762112.story#tugs_story_display

they cant set you up if its not marked on the outside ( firearm) or something like ,, open it then take it to your dealer and let the 2 dealers work it out. If you dont say anything then your breaking the law . and when the atf looks at that dealers books then maybe they will come a knocking

+1 for the above post the internet is a gun owners best friend when it come to buying stuff

And i still have that box less a couple rounds

I think Rguns has some ammo .. IMO there for collecting unless you like shooting a small caliber pistol, for me its like a 38 cal I have 2 of them ww1 and ww2 i forget the dates. One is a Peter the Great and 2nd is a Tula

Nice that just means more for me !! I treat all ammo as corrosive so I never have a problem

cagefighter wangsly knows his AR's

just waiting on the cleaning rod for it now

surprised this hasn't been posted. I paid $218.00 shipped for a case .. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=A76239YS

mail order it !! If you need a couple boxes swing by and I will give you some ,, just replace it when you get yours . Or hit a gun show

who ever voted no should be banned from here .

NO I went to 2 ranges both where packed

In the past I always went to the shows on Saturday but it seems I do better on Sundays !

Today at a small show I picked up a Russian non referb SKS for 200.00 + 25 for the back ground check . The good,, it looks almost un fired, all matching numbers, Tula, and a nice russian marked sling . I left the tag on and yes I talked him down to the 200.00 I tried for 175 but that was a no The bad it needs a front site/bayonet lug and screw, and a cleaning rod, but I have a friend that has the site assembly but no screw I pulled the rubber butt pad off and the butt plat is in great shape . I also picked up 660 rounds of mix 8mm in a wood crate for $60.00 I think a good day
