Just picked these up, both have wood furniture and are in great shape. Not sure if I'm gonna mod the SKS or leave it. There are a ton of goodies for them, awful tempting.
leave the sks original as possible one day these guns will be very expensive i can already tell my dad bought his for 60 bucks in the 80's i bought mine for 175 like 4 years ago and now ive seen them go for as much as 500.
you can find one with a beat to hell stock and alot of fading blueing to fix up
If you go to [URL="http://www.sksboards.com"]www.sksboards.com[/URL] thy have a ton of info on SKS's
I found out about my YUGO there, it was made in 1974 and there was
only 40,000 made that year and mine was an unissued version.
Bought mine from a fellow off another gun site for 125.00 a couple of years ago.
