I am pretty sure I now own an SKS. It was given to me for $15 bucks at an estate sale. Cheesy wood stock. Bolt that opens to completely vertical. No safety. 7.62x54R. Cool swing-out bayonet. And a screwball of an adjustable rear sight. Poland 1952 for manufacture.

Where might I get a handbook, and replacement parts for these. I'm told they are a dime a dozen, so its of no real value.

How does the 7.62x54R round measure up?

Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. $15.00 was not too much I hope. Bore is in good shape, action is VERY smooth.
