Feets / Collection / My build Rite of passage

Alright, here goes. 3rd firearm ever. Got it for 599 plus tax from gundealer. Chinese sks. Stock aint that bad. All numbers match except the bolt handle.

Growing up this was the only firearm ive seen being used the most around me and had my PAL only so i could own one(other reasons too but most prominent is this).

Touching my very own for the first time literally made me tear up and i cant exaggerate the feeling at all.

Who knows whats in store for tomorrow, rather buy one than cry for not being able to own one ever. Thanks to all you guys and gals for really kicking out my indecision and getting me convinced to get one.

Truly jealous of a guy who lives nearby who got 1 for 250 alongside a crate of ammo that he still hasnt eaten up. I mean i heard people got 4 for 250 back in the day xD

i got my 2 ticklers for 520 each and my blade for 500 each although i had to pass a few speech checks to talk him down. I thought i was being paranoid by buying multiple as like for all my guns it’s a mixture of collecting and spare parts for me.  It’s insane how fast these prices skyrocketed especially during this single year as few months before i got my PAL they averaged around 450
