Friends,
It's NO secret among my friends on-forum that I'm NOT "really fond of" the AR or AK sort of firearms BUT really do like the old-school SKS.
I'm considering "building" a folding stock SKS carbine in 7.62x39mm with 16" barrel, presuming that I can find either a "serviceable" rifle (at a decent price) or a parts kit.
(The folding-stock carbine that I see in my mind takes AK magazines.)
Note: At the last SAXET show I saw a folding-stock SKS carbine that the owner had in a CONN band instrument (trombone??) case. - The case had room for several AK mags, a cleaning kit & some extra parts. -- I liked his "set-up" very much, as it was quite compact & "low key".
Given a choice, I would rather NOT buy a CHICOM rifle/kit.
yours, satx
