Dusty Morningwood Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 SOLD This is a pretty nice example of a Tula made SKS. It is stamped with the Tula Star and 1952r. All matching except magazine floorplate, which I understand is common. Bore is excellent. Wood is VG overall, with a couple of small scratches and a deeper ding in left wrist. Metal finish has some edge wear. All in all, a nice SKS. Payment by USPS Money Order preferred. Shipping via USPS Priority insured to C&R or FFL. More photos available. ASKING $700 SHIPPED.

Colonel Kraken Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 These are great shooting guns. Our Tula SKS is my wife's favorite rifle to shoot when she's going for targets beyond 50 yards (inside 50 she likes our cowboy lever guns). And if you run out of ammo you have a built in pig sticker with rioters that can't be seen as anything but an asset. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 “Russia” is the country of origin of the SKS. Dusty M.’s “for sale” SKS with the stamped 1952 manufacture date, looks like a good, fairly early example of a Russian-made SKS. In various configurations, the SKS kind of took on a life of its own. Besides Russia’s (maybe) somewhat limited use of the SKS (Russia was considering the AK-47 as well), the SKS was widely manufactured, distributed and used by the Communist Chinese (and others) and the affiliated small countries and guerrilla groups they supported. The SKS saw considerable use by the Viet Cong in Viet Nam. Many of these insurgents or invader types preferred using the SKS for engaging at longer ranges, rather than using fully automatic assault rifles. Another reason for issuing the SKS rather than a full-auto weapon, was because, being semi-automatic, de facto ammunition consumption was lower.....a serious consideration because ammo supply chains would often be “iffy” for indigenous/insurgent or invading regular troops and guerrillas.
