PinkFloyd 63 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I was at my local gun show in Raleigh NC today and found a unissued looking Cugir Romanian SKS. Ended up trading a guy a knife for it, but don't know much about SKS rifles. I know how they operate and take down, but that's about it. Mainly what I'm curious about is my new rifle's history, the date of manufacture and where to find this info on the rifle. It's a fine gun, has the bayo, milled receiver, all the number match, original finish, everything. I believe it to be a 1960 because I see those numbers on the side following a RD number. It's really just a beautiful rifle and I'd like to know a little about it. Any SKS guys want to help me out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Look up yooperj.com and click on the sks link I found it very informative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MN.9130 44 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Also, a great wellspring of knowledge for those rifles is Survivor's SKS Boards. Hate to say it, but I've never seen an 'Unissued' Romanian: you may well have a collector-refurbed SKS, but hey, if it looks great and runs great... It's all win! Could you post some photographs when you have a spare moment? I'd love to see it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MN hit it on the nose, those guys will know everything about the weapon, that is where I went to find out my Chinese SKS, the only thing is I would post pics along with your questions..... Or you will get answers like this: THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PinkFloyd 63 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 It is missing it's cleaning rod and has a couple dings on the stock, but overall I'm impressed with the gun so far. Shot about 20 rounds thru it, I only was able to find one box of wolf at the local gun show, go figure. They were literally sold out of 7.62x.39. Anyway I'm pretty impressed with it's ability to blow apart concrete chunks from our solar panel install. The gun is a 1960, obviously had to have been issued at some point but it has no remanufacture marks and all matching numbers. Blueing all looks excellent and the bolt is nice and shiny with no imperfections. How do y'all think I did? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casp 119 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Pretty slick. Did it come with the cleaning kit/multitool in the buttstock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 That's a nice looking Rommy. Cleaning rod's are easy enough to come by, but if your a purist, the correct sling might take you alittle time and money to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PinkFloyd 63 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Pretty slick. Did it come with the cleaning kit/multitool in the buttstock? Yep, sure did. As far as the sling, I'm looking. I just threw an eagle sling I had laying around on it because I like three points, but I intend on putting the era correct article on it.
