OH BOY CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY!!!
Tweetybird (my wife), Matt (my cousin) and I hit the show early on Saturday.
She knows that I have been wanting a an SKS or AK for plinking (cause the .223 is breaking the bank). So she went off to "buy some new pepper spray". She comes back a half-hour later with a SWEET Chinese SKS Paratrooper in the original box. Never issued with serial # in the low 5000 range. So she hands it to me and says, "We have some parts to get for it but this is your Christmas present from me."
Then she proceeds to buy a Dragunov-style sniper stock, a twist off muzzle brake, 10 30 round mags, a shell ejector guard, scope mount, a Leapers scope, a buttstock pad, a bi-pod, and 2000 rounds of CHEAP 7.62!!!
I just followed her around nodding my head up and down whenever she asked me a question.
Then when it was all over she said, "I hate these things and will never shoot it but I know you wanted a cheap plinker, so I hope you are happy."
I am just happy with a wife who is into my hobby as much as I am.
