Talked my grandfather out of a never fired Norinco SKS

[peejman]

Mucho sucko! Damn thieves.

[austin7.62]

I hate thieves. I hope it finds its way back to you.

[roverboy]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you can find it.

I have good news and bad news. Good news is all those responsible have been caught and will be punished. Bad news is they sold my guns and by the time they caught up with the guy that bought them he had thrown them in the Duck River... It's a damn shame

. . . thrown in the Duck River, huh?

 

Do you believe that? According to who? Is there video of the gun throwing? Does this sound a mite improbable? Is it possible that one of their thug buddies is still 'holding' them? Or that a less than perfect popo's got a new heater? Inquiring minds wanna know . . .

[Guest Kamikaze]

I have my doubts honestly, I would hope they still turn up

[superduty]

Arghh... that was a beauty. Sorry man, that really sucks.

[peejman]

Threw them in the river my arse.  Criminals may be dumb, but they're not that dumb. 

[tnguy]

They found a bunch of guns in the local lake during a fire dept training exercise a while back but this does sound suspicious to me.

More accurate than AKs, the SKS lacks the EEEEVIL "assault rifle" pistol grip associated with the panty-wetting anti reaction.

 

The SKS is my truck gun of choice.  I had some that were put into folding stocks and I tried optics on the receiver cover and most of the gadgets out there.

 

I tried the 20 and 30 round mags,  never got any to feed reliably in any of mine.

The stock 10 round mags are just peachy with stripper clips.

 

I never had any stolen and thrown into a lake, but I did lose mine in a tragic boat fire.

 

I recommend you:

 

1) Go here  great bunch of people there.

 

2) Obviously its yours to do anything to it that you want, but please don't " bubba" a pristine virgin.  If you feel the urge to " tacticool" it, recommend you pick up a beater specifically for that purpose.  They're still cheap enoiugh to do that.

 

N-JOY!

Man it sucks when a gun is stolen, but really sucks when it’s something handed down. Was this a burglary or someone that you knew and was in your home?

I would think if the guy is talking for some kind of plea agreement it would involve showing the cops where he threw them in (if he did). Our PD or FD divers would have went went in and got them.

Epic example of epic fail. He brought back this "dead" thread because the gun was stolen.
