Hello from California
« on: December 01, 2024, 11:05:56 PM »
Hello people. Thanks for letting me join. My names Tim and I'm from Sacramento CA. Always been an SKS fan. I used to drool over a buddy's SKS back in high school. Finally 30 years later I got one. Joined this group to learn about it. It's a Tula, not sure what year. Looking forward to reading and learning about it.

Welcome aboard from The Magic City!

I hope you don't mind, but we're probably going to start a pool on how long it takes you to leave that cesspool of a state.  :lol:

Just kidding of course, we actually have several members from California.  I visited there once, it's a beautiful place. It's no wonder it's called The Golden State. Still, with all the shenanigans going on I sometimes wonder how anyone manages to survive out there.  You sir must have some type of resilience. 

Curious, Is yours all parts matching?  Does it have the original stock or an aftermarket stock?  If you post a pic or two, I'm sure several of the guys here can tell you more about it.  Look around, there's plenty of great info here to be had and don't be afraid to ask questions. 
I am the one they call Cesar.

Welcome and your rudeness from San Joaquin County, Kali born, got to know how to bob and weave in this state. You get some slack for the Tula =D> PAX

Thanks fellas. I'll post some pics after work later today. It appears all the #'s match except the dust cover. The stock is original and not in too bad of shape.

And I don't think I'll be leaving California any time soon. Me and my wife both own businesses here, family is here and the kid is still in school. I love this beautiful state but hate the politics here.

Welcome from Kentucky!  I have fond memories of California as a kid in the mid to late 80s.  I lived in El Cajon from 3rd grade to 8th grade.  Politics wasn't on my radar, I was too busy trying to figure out girls and wishing I was in Motley Crue.  :scratch: :headbang:

This is the best place to learn about the SKS.  You can find out all you need to know and then some!

Welcome from Kansas City, MO. Graduated from Fairfield HS back in '77 while my dad was stationed at Travis. Also lived in LA (well, Sherman Oaks actually) just under 4 years. Moved back to MO Christmas eve 2019. I say all that to say; I feel your pain between the state and the politics.
