Gun Picture Thread

My Chicom SKS 45 7.62 x39 with 18.5” barrel. Chrome lined bore.
These sold as a Paratrooper model here in Merica.
Really no such animal . They cut down the barrel from full length & reworked everything! No bayonet.
I only have maybe 200 rounds through it & it is accurate out to 200 yards. Probably further.

I bought one of those new for $99 back in the early 2000s, before the gun show loop holes got closed. Straight from the crate with cosmolene still packed in the action.

Jonny,
Do you still have it? That is how I bought this one. I had a couple of ones go through my hands in the 80’s a Vietnam war trophy bring back & at least two other in the 90’s, one a Russian. I also have a Yugo SKS 59 before they added the Grenade launcher .

I’ll do pics of the Yugo soon!

The SKS is an amazing fast handling 10 shot carbine that can have great accuracy!

Unfortunately, I don’t. i sold it to a buddy shortly thereafter for $150. I’m all vested into the AR platform now.
 
Got some neat new grips for my 92FS from the Ukraine. Took 6 months for them to be made and shipped as the maker had to figure out how to deal with tariffs.

I like them as they have a touch of finger grip, but without making the overall grip too fat.
 
Check the mag area of the frame. Some frames have more steel in there/less cut out under the grips.
 
Just for the fun of it, here's a fairly rare one, my father's Colt Commando 38 Special. Parkerized finish. This is a legit 2-inch, not cut down.
Online sources state that the 2-inch version was used by military intelligence in the Pacific during WW II, especially for personnel being inserted behind the lines.
That does describe my father. He did serve in military inteligence in the Pacific, and among othr things was inserted into the Philipines via submarine prior to the US invasion. Bronze star with cluster, silver star, and Legion of Merit.
This one has not been fired for at least the last 73 years, and will remain so. No Plus P for this fella.

Very cool. They were also standard issue for the CIC, which my Dad served in (Korean War). Never could pry a single thing out of him, and he took it all to his grave, except the files I found after his passing.
