I'm officially Canadian.

Thanks for all the help everyone, after several question posts, I got it.

I was on the hunt for cleaner examples, but certain Gunpost members were really hosing people. Did I still buy it for inflated prices? Yes. Are there better condition ones out there? Yes. But at least I got to check it out in person. And I now own an SKS.

All matching 1963 Chinese. I'll get a tickler soon if the prices don't go even more insane, but I've wanted an SKS since I shot one at a friend's house 15 years ago, and as massive as my list of wants is, I just couldn't move on until I had one.

Also, Cosmoline is no joke. I looked at it wrong and now my next 3 generations of offspring are covered in it. I'll take cleaning tips as it's far worse than expected.

You sure? That's a weird citizenship card. /s

I mean, if that's what you show up with at the consulate when they ask for id, they might have a few more objections besides it being of russian origins 😁

It's a Chinese model, so they graciously gave me citizenship as well as +500 social credit score points.
