Chinese SKS

[surfcc]

My dad flew Jolly Greens in SE Asia from 69-70. He picked up a number of guys shot down over N Vietnam and Laos. Picked up a Hmong pilot who had been shot down by the NVA. They later made a swap...my dad gave up his boots and sunglasses, the Hmong pilot gave my dad a 91/30PU Russian Sniper Rifle with Scope and a Chinese SKS with a Bayonet so shiny you could use as a mirror! My brother just got the sniper rifle and my dad sent the SKS to me, with a note that reads "Son, I cleaned up and oiled...blood wiped off bayonet! Enjoy!" LOL! I can add that to my collection! I will post photos once I can figure out how to.

if you fire military ammo with corrosive primers be sure to clean it paying attn. to the firing pin and bolt or corrosion can form and the firing pin can corroide in the forward fire possion and cause a slam fire, ie. it will fire full auto the first time you chamber around and make a lot of nice holes in every thing in front of it!! nuff saidleasantry:
