    I noticed that there was virtually no cosmoline (if any at all). The gun was well oiled though. I can only guess that when the barrel modifications were made, the gun was cleaned up at that time.

    (And I will post pics as soon as I take some...patience!)

    Gotta ask another question. Can you get a 5-round non-detachable magazine for the SKS should you want to hunt with it? If not, then it'll be tough complying with the "spirit of the law" no matter how illogical it is.

    Oh, wait....being logical or making sense is not a requirement. What ever happened to the "reasonable man" test?

    I don't know where you hunt or what game? BUT, Maryland says you can Deer hunt with a large Magazine as long as you only load 8 rounds. I have no idea about other states?

    Learn something new all the time!

    I'll be taking the Hunter's Safety Course later this month. I hope they'll cover stuff like that in the course.

    Anyway, I was going to use my Mosin as my alternate.

    OP stop all that typing and snap some photos. :) Upload to photobucket and paste the img code and don't forget to resize them before uploading or they will be too big for the page.

    OK, here you go!

    Thanks! I'm really happy with it. Not sure how it would compare with a Ruger Mini 30, but for half the price, I'll go with it.
