Massive 7 Firearm Unboxing from Hunter's Lodge (Part 3 of 3) Romanian and Chinese SKS Rifles 

Nice haul overall. I'm with you as I like projects and actually working on things. Its a great way to get to know a different systems. Look forward to some follow ups on these and see what you do with them. All the best.

It's always fun to clean up a SKS. Got to love the chrome lined bores! They are a great shooter. My friend bought one as a deer rifle and has hunted with it for about 30 years as is out of the box. The days of getting one at the gun show for $79 are long gone, but I don't think you did too bad with those.

Now them are the kind of SKS's that have taken some lives

That marking on Chinese stock are Hindi numbers used in Arabic countries. Its simply "81" as an Arab would write it. Usually PLO or Egyptian. Could be Israeli capture 🎉

The fish eye done my eyes in. 😂 good content. You seem a personable fella. Maybe some different angles?

The SKS lost it's luster when you couldn't get them for $69.95 anymore. Same for AKM's for + $300-$400, or 7.62x39mm for + a nickel a round. Those days are long gone.

Very nice brother ...👍🏻👍🏻 I'm going check with James on the SKS's

11:37 Romanian guy has just entered the room. Sorry I’m late to the show. Nobody sent me a memo and this part 3 just showed up in my feed. So that’s where we’re at now. I just subscribed, and will keep up with your sks stuff. That’s not an Izhevsk. Logo looks similar to it, but izhevsk is in Russia. That Romanian is made at the Cugir Arms Factory in Cugir, Romania. I will never expect you to ever be able to pronounce it correctly, I promise. The only non-Romanian person on RU-vid who can say it correctly is Triangle /26\ and he is my homie as well. He also knows about my predicament and lust for a solid example just like yours. But im Upstate New York and since September 2022, we are now legally required to obtain a special license to buy any more semiautomatic centerfire and/or rimfire rifles (they forgot to include shotguns in the law 😂 ). So whatever we got prior to the law is grandfathered in, but we are not allowed to get more. The license cost, process, and wait time are more complicated than a handgun permit. And here’s a loophole: if and when I do decide to get my handgun permit, my county judge can also attach the semiautomatic rifle license to it without making me get it separately. Gotta love it. Fortunately I did get a /26\ years prior (to the law, but purely for nationalist reasons, being a Romanian/American I feel it would be cool to have one too (I was born there, otherwise i’d say American first).

👍...Good score. I also like getting them with some historical wear & tear showing on them, provided the price likewise is reasonable & matches the condition. Is always fun to then do the research & general tidy up work.

Was always tempted to order from Hunter's Lodge ever since I opened my shop in the mid 90s. But everything I ever saw from them was is pretty beat up condition. I prefer better condition guns for myself & the shop.

Wow, this is the best one. I really wish I got those! Still need an SKS, but they are so much I won't buy one for some of the prices you see.

My main concern is the shipping cost tbh, I did a similar batch a couple years ago, and the shipping was a significant proportion of the cost of the guns.

i need to get some sks rifles! yours are very nice.

hi the Izhevsk mark has an arrow that looks like an arrow you would use in a bow and the Romanian arrow looks like one you would find on a road sign, if that is any help , i love a project gun much more than a mint factory condition, i enjoy the process of bringing them back to life , enjoy your projects best wishes from the uk chris

Those a def a bit crusty lol I haven't heard what you paid for these but I gather not too much and given a good price, these can be cleaned up and refurbished - maybe new stocks and some small parts like you said... thanks for sharing. I do realize that there are two previous vids ...

I'd guess there is always someone to say this but I remember being in my early teen's & going to Roses department store where I first laid eyes on the Chinese SKS. They were $89 or $95 a pop with chest rig, cleaning kit in the buttstock & oil bottle. Saw them years later at a show in crates (10 to each as I recall) for about as cheap. Its amazing what they go for now but that's the nature of the beast...

Do they have anymore SKS? I didn’t see them on the ads

Hunters Lodge, in Tenn?

Did you pay $300 or $200 for the Chinese SKS? I understood $300 at 19.45 but then you had $200 up on the screen at the end of the video at 22:03.

OMG!!! ARE THEY UGLY....you best let me just give your money back BEFORE you go too deep. 😮. (Just kidding). Those guns run FOREVER. Please keep us updated on your journey with them and thanks for all your videos!!

So I live in Nashville has anyone had any luch going in person to Ethridge to buy from Hunters lodge directly? They dont return my emails and no luch getting in touch with them

I've always heard that Hunter's Lodge was a scam, "jip artist" kind of place. Is this not correct? Their physical location is only about 40 miles from me, but I'm told they don't allow you to come by and pick up a purchase. I've never messed with them because of the river of bad comments and bad publicity out on the interwebs about them.

Hopw much were the sks?)

wholly crap 300 each omg man you over paid by about 200 each that crazy i got 2 russian 1949s for less then that and the other ones i never paid more then 200 but they be dirt cheep in canadastan but they have gone up but mine are like brand new

Still wishing they take credit cards. In the world, are you buying some of this stuff not advertised it which it is in the last day at here.But are you asking games for certain items? I often w9nder if theyre making much money? Lots of oeoome steer clear from HL at all cost. I love the roll of te dice.. that stock gas been to Egypt or Iraq. Triangle 1 is Romanian. It's a triangle 1, not triangle arrow. That's a beech Ronanian stock. You'll have a hard time replacing it with oem one. I'd buy the Romanian just because you say it's a 58. I've got two 70 a few serial numbers apart. These bores are chrome lied so they will be great. I'm in KY, where you located? HL would do a lot better if they'd do a website that people could order off of.

Do you have any other social media
