Thanks - Am always happy when other collectors think of me and point out things for me -
Really neat to see the different conditions of these - I am really happy with the Russian - Wonder how he came about the SKS... |

Not sure but my guess is that it came from some sort of a stores area, as I have seen another one brought back in the same timeframe by a different vet from the same unit.

Saigon always sets the bar for these lovely VN bringbacks. I bet many GI's developed an affinity for these as reliable rifles that packed a lot of punch. In some cases, it may have been preferable to the early M-16's and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these captured Simonovs didn't go out on occasional American patrols.
