Local classified rag had an ad that read:

RUSSIAN SKS RIFLE. 7.62 cal. Good cond. $100. (phone)

I was too late, it was already sold.

I did get a runner up prize though!

So.... what exactly is the 1941 Finnish rifle? M39 or M91?

 

[dive1tom]

Knowing Slimtim's luck it was a Finnish capture SVT40.

Tikka M91. Anyone got a spare nosecap? You'd think it would have one, it had the handguard and cleaning rod. Ususally if something is missing, it's one of those two.

Working on the SVT40 D1T!

Lucky man!

SlimTim...

I have a spare nose cap off a 91/30... the kind with the slightly rounded front.

At least I think I do...!!! Haven't looked thru the parts bin in a while.

Score!

That's what I paid for my SKS, new.

Wow, I forgot how long ago that was.

Paid 129.00 for one. A few years later I had an opportunity to turn a decent profit on it and took the money. Guess what? I now regret that decision.

I wish I could buy a Russian sks for $100. Around here they go for $400 plus!
