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…

Was bidding in two firearms auctions a couple of weeks ago, both had several SKS up for bidding. Untouched SKS were selling for around $900. Plastic and pistol grips went for around $650. Maybe some exceptions but I don't recall seeing any bubbas selling above the price of original never mind the cost of the substitute parts.
It's your rifle and your money to throw away as you see fit but don't expect to profit by "upgrading" an SKS.
