In some neighborhoods that's the ONLY way to answer the door

I bet the Zulus taught them that that was a good idea ;)

"Zulus! Thousands of them!"

Kauboy, SKS is the predecessor to the AK47. They have been imported by the millions, many brand-new, and sell for cheap. Most of the guns you see now are the Yugoslavian M59/66 variant, apparently from a massive lot found in storage - new, unissued - a couple years ago. They are a reliable, fairly accurate 30-caliber plinker. For me it's a relic and a trunk gun that I don't worry about scuffing up.

It was myunderstanding that if you add any U.S.-made parts, then you have to have at least 10.
I did not know just removing some parts would change the classification.
So maybe I need to change out some parts for U.S.-made copies?

I have a Yugo I bought earlier this year when CTD was running them for $99. New in cosmoline, matching numbers.

I removed bayonet, grenade launcher sight.
Removed grenade launcher and turned the end down so it's just a thin screw-on cap about an inch long. I need to solder it on and blue it.
Also cut the bayonet lug off. I need to machine it down a bit more.
Added a Williams snap-in peep sight in place of the stock sight. I need to change out the front sight to the Williams fibreoptic blade. My old eyes need the help. Someone else makes a nice peep sight that looks military and snaps onto the rear of the receiver. For about $40 I'll probably order one of those.
Looks a lot cleaner now.
Still haven't had a chance to shoot it
