Feets / Collection / My build SKS Bubba shaming needs to stop

Look, considering what the Canadian gun community has left to play with these days, I think we need to be a little more accepting of people messing with their SKSs.

I get roasted by the SKS purists every time mine shows up. And technically, mine doesn’t even qualify as a full Bubba.

I get it. If you’ve got a rare or collectible SKS, leave the old girl alone. Preserve it. Respect.
But one of the millions of Chinese SKSs floating around Canada? Come on…

It's not that Bubba shaming needs to stop but that people need to distinguish between Bubba and tasteful modifications.

This.

There's a difference between functional mods to make the SKS a bit more fun & shootable vs. covering it in Tapco with an NCStar scope mount dust cover and Chinese ACOG.

As others have said, it's your money and it's your rifle at the end of the day, but don't be surprised if you get called out for your bubba activities.
