1971 Vietnam Bring Back w/Papers

(1/1)

Bookie:
Rocketvapor, here are a few promised pics for you.  Ain't much, but it's all mine!  Look closely at the photo of the sling.  Can you make out the person's name that persuaded me to take it off his hands?  All numbers match, cleaning kit all there and still usable, and the wood is sorta eroded/corroded/rotted off near the butt plate.  Has "original" combat cleaning rag on the rod.  Armory 26 offspring from 1962.

Shoot the Refurbs:
looks like, Dinh Van Chin to me.
Amazing piece. I only recently discovered at one point my grandfather had several sks's that the armorer just said he could take while in vietnam. said didn't figure it was worth the price to send em all back and gave them away to other GI's.....
My face when he told me this.  :banghead:

Bookie:
Believe this individual was in the 5th Nha Be Regiment (Viet Cong).  Too bad about those SKSs long ago. That same feeling had crossed my face when my old man "gave away" a Remington rolling block that had actually been used on buffalo for a twenty dollar tavern debt (insert non-christian verbiage here) back in 1960.  I death grip carried my SKS home since it had papers.

DegoLocc:
That's pretty awesome. Imagine if that carbine could talk...
