Gun and gear reviews First Gun

Just grabbed this SKS after receiving my PAL. They said they just got it out of the crates and it was covered in cosmoline(which took some time to clean but ready to shoot now). Lots of marking on it that I’m not sure if they are from factory. Is this a genuine Tula SKS. Is the stock color normally this dark? Did I do all right?

Congratulations!

You appear to have got a blued barrel instead of painted, and personally I love the dark red coloured stocks. She is a beauty!

Set up your phone behind you the first time you go shooting and watch how far it chucks the empty casings. Someone a while back posted a photo of a casing slightly embedded in a roof rafter lol.

Yeah I always lose a few brass every time I go shooting.
