Hi, all! Classic Firearms has Type 56 rifles in stock. I always wanted an SKS, none of the places around here have any for the price Classic wants, so I bought one. For the benefit of anyone thinking of buying one, and for the interest of those who just want to see what's coming from Classic, I'll post pictures here.
Feel free to comment or post any notes. Just don't bother saying "you paid too much" or "you should have bought an AR for that price!". I knew what I was buying, could afford it, and I wanted it, so I bought it.
Anyhow, first 2 pics. I can't bring it home today, but I did walk over to my FFL and we unwrapped it enough for these. I'll bring it home and get more pics tomorrow. So far the wood's in pretty good shape with a few dings. Something odd about that sling attachment, doesn't look quite right. The sling itself was cut off and an inch of cosmoline soaked fabric is sitting there.
