Narcisa, Miss Romania 2013
I'd like to introduce my Calguns brothers to Narcisa. Getting ahold of her took some work, but she arrived in good shape. She is a 1958 Romanian, 100% matching parts, with a very fashionable leather sling (Thanks to Eddie 1965).
I came across her on Armslist and it took some back and forth with her former benefactor to arrange her travel plans. She still has a bit of cosmoline here and there, and all of her internals are in mint condition. Her bore is immaculate. Here are some pics of my lovely new eastern European beauty: |

I was just about to PM you to see if you received your sling, I guess this answers my question.

Man, that's crazy! You said the same thing about the Honor Guard! I can't put rounds through this pretty girl. I take my beaters out to shoot!
Seriously though, thanks all for the comments. |

I believe they should all get to go to the range and do what they were designed to do. I also think every gun owner should enjoy the pleasure of shooting them.
Use her -- she wants to be used ... then lovingly cleaned and put away satisfied.

Nice score, especially on that sling. My Romy currently wears a Chinese sling (heresy, I know ) until I can find a nice romy sling.

Nice gun! I love a classic SKS.
Here's a word of warning that I'm sure you will also hear from others - for the love of God and all that is Holy - DO NOT try to fire this gun until you have broken down the bolt, removed the firing pin, and cleaned the FP channel with heavy solvent and big-bore pipe cleaners. You mentioned cosmoline, and it can stick the FP in the forward position leading to a runaway full auto. In practice this event is not as fun as it sounds in theory - a guy died at Chabot a few years back when this happened. You have no way of knowing for sure if a previous owner or the seller has done this - CHECK IT YOURSELF. And then get out and spend some sweet lovin' time at the range with that gal! HAVE FUN!

It is also a good idea to 'test fire' your SKS with only 2 rounds in the rifle, just in case of a slamfire. I have NEVER had a slamfire, but then I always PMCS my weapons (Thanks Uncle Sam). |

While cleaning first is excellent advice I have to ask: The guy at Chabot never bump-fired an SKS?

I do understand the condition of guns can affect shooting them. But, it would be an extremely rare SKS that will be hurt by limited shooting while taking care.
(Bump firing would not be considered careful)
