Took a chance on one of those Royal Tiger SKS's with their 'no returns' policy. Even the box was soaked with cosmo, but on first glance I 'm happy. Looks to be an all-matching E-prefix Sino-Soviet; no cracks in the wood but lots of character, with bayonet. Overall in pretty decent shape, will be cleaning it up later today and checking the bore, but I suspect that will be in pretty good shape as well. I don't think I'm worried about the 'no return' policy.
Wow, that's really nice!
