I found this on another forum and found it very interesting that the collectors on a Russian forum are pulling out their hair over the same serial number/prefix-suffix questions we are regarding their SKSs.
I would have thought that someone over there would have had a relative who used or manufactured those guns and had more knowledge of the armory practices.... :o Sigh.....

I hear ya Monti....
Unfortunately some of the Russian translations are worse then the chinese. Over the years I have seen several threads etc that are 10 times more interesting then the ones our little buddy Gary posted. If you really wanna read some meat/potatoes, ask RM or Bunker for some links. I dont save the Russian ones like I do the chinese.
RM or Bunker,
Would you mind posting a few Русский язык ссылки that cover some of these topics?? Pretty please....... Спасибо dance2
