those are some beautiful SKS's those guys have...like to have a few of those.

p.s.  i'm surprised they goose step, since it's so identified with the nazis/third reich, although i have always personally thought goose stepping is really cool looking.

I am not greedy.  I just want ONE of those.  Hard to tell, but they look sorta laminate.

All I could think was that there was a bunch of guys who would be wicked pissed
if someone forgot to tie their shoelace.

Pics featuring SKS in Romania.

+ soldier from a penal unit early 80ties , strange as by that time even some Gărzile Patriotice (National Guards- Volksturm) units had been equipped with semiauto AKs and PSL from Cugir factory. (Strage since that with the abundance of Romanian made Kalashnikov system rifles, use of Romanian made SKSs in active large scale service was short.)

+ 80ties workers from a factory, drafted into Gărzile Patriotice (during Ceausescu, regular army training on older weapons from WW2 or second line guns or semiauto variants of automated regular army guns)
 
+ contemporary image of 6th Guard Regiment Mihai Viteazul in summer dress simmilar to pre-WW2 dress.

  I wonder if you feel hot gas hitting you in the face after shooting this, plus i think it would be more like a bolt action handgun now.
