Evening /k/,
I recently bought my first gun online, an SKS. It arrived and I'm not sure if it happened during shipping, at the FFL, or somehow while I was cleaning it and just didn't notice.
But is it normal for SKS rifles to have pic related as a natural defect? Or should I bitch someone out? What methods would you use to fix it? Or would it just be replaced?
It could have happened way back when, when it was issued. But as far as I can tell every other aspect of the gun has an unissued look to it. I was pretty damn sure I was buying unissued. With as much cosmoline I cleaned off it, you'd think so.
>he fell for the meme
The sight covers are commonly damaged from light impacts, it's not earth shattering but you can fix it with a sight tool, a hammer and some time.

I don't see what's wrong with wanting an affordable semi-auto rifle that fires a decent caliber with cheap and available ammunition? Really the only downside for me is this and the unpredictability of a free floating firing pin. Howver, that can be fixed.

You bought from Classic didnt you?
>>29231807
Nope. You're fucked, Better buy an AK
>>29231807
damn, that shit is fucked.
You could dremel it to look like an AK FSB with its distinctive U shape....
Good luck trying to bend that bitch back into shape.

wanted to add, if you do want to bend it back into shape, I would recommend you remove the FSPost and then buy a A/C "Swage" tool.

Yea but if you wanted those things, why buy an sks
>>29231972
Yeah, is it common from them?

I also just like the way it looks, the age of it. It feels like a piece of history.

I've ordered two guns from classic. A beautiful K31 that had a defective bolt handle from a year that NEVER should have been on the gun. I think someone swapped it at classic because they were supposed to be phased out.
A PU mosin that came with the stock cracked.
Classicfirearms has a system where they seem to cause some sort of cosmetic damage to any firearm that enters their doors. Do not buy from them again, they are shit people.

What would you suggest is a better alternative
>>29232080
You sound like a pretentious AR fag

>>29232080
Nice bait.
>Why buy an interesting and fairly inexpensive rifle that shoots fairly common ammunition?

Is that the "very good to excellent" condition Yugos?
Yo OP I have a similar problem. My sight post is pushed to the extreme far right on the FSB. The bending of the front sight hood shouldn't affect the accuracy though. Worried about my rifle though. Any anons have similar problems?
