Alas, don't have the Russian version, but have two Chinese SKS - early 1966 and late 1966.

Superb firearms!

Been handloading accurate cartridges. Saving my TULA, etc. for next Russo-Sino-American conflict.

Chinese/allies marched around with these weapons, but they must have had very little ammo as the chrome-lined barrels are like new!

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Pronoun: Yes, SIR !
