I'm bored waiting for surgery, can't ride and wishing i was out there. So i decided to post these, the Sergei Karabin Simonov, aka, SKS-45.
I have a special respect and connection to this rifle as it was used by both Bosnian and Croatian's when i was posted in Croatia. I'm quite familiar with the 7.62x39 buzzing sound when some would take pop shots at us for fun. LOL

The rifle on the farthest left is a modified SKS with Archangel furniture and red dot, center is my olive stained furniture otherwise original and the one on the farthest right is all matching number original condition rifle.
Both rifles on the left we shoot regularly and are awesome fun to blast away 100 rounds in an afternoon. While the far right rifle is 100% functional but a collector so i don't shoot it.

How do you like your wartak rail? I was debating on buying one but couldn't swallow the price. I use a tristar bolt cover with the screws that press onto the sides of the receiver for my red dot.

The hardware is kinda not great. The screw holding the backside had to be loc-tite or it would come loose and there is a roll pin that holds the front of the rail that i had to peen or it would also slip out. Other then that it holds zero no problem's. Not much will hold zero on an SKS as it was never design for that type of sight.

I had a mag wedge premium rail on mine that was really good quality (wartak copied this design) I sold the sks with a bunch of other accessories a few years ago though.

Wow, bad deal for you, if they put an import prohibition on this rifle and i suspect its coming and they will. The rifle will double if not triple in value. Depending on a few factors of course like matching numbers vs a bastardized version. Either way the value will go up substantially, have a look in the US, they have an import prohibition on them, your lucky if you pick one up in the $400 range, most are around $600. Plus as the stock's dry out, that will also push them up.

Here is an sks I did up. Coyote gun. I cant actually hit $#%^ with it but it's fun lol. //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170213/b4d94ed70432a69aa62a697acbd54bd1.jpg

Thank god for that, if they were accurate a lot of us wouldn't be here today.
The SKS are a crap shoot, 50/50 chance of getting a bad one or a good one and some are a lot worst then other's. My stained olive SKS is off to the right 3" at 50 yrds and nothing i can do about it. While the Archangel one is less then an 1" at the same distance. Fun anyways.

I can't open the pic. to see it, my puter won't let me??

I'm picking up a Savage Model 25, in .223 heavy barrel synthetic stock, and a vortex crossfire. Hopefully I can do some long range now.

My SKS looks very similar to yours T-Team. What kind of bolt cover rail system is that? I have an Ncstar and I feel it sits too high.
