Smile And chrome-plated, at that!

People's Liberation Army honor guards at the 1 October 09 big parade carry the SKS for their drill. I wonder if they'll be popping up on Century International's website before long?

Not that I would want one, but they are pretty nice looking drill guns.

I don't know if those will be showing up on surplus markets anytime soon. They're still used in ceremonial proceedings in both China and Russia. Just like our military still uses Garands for ceremonies and drill teams. AK's and M-16's would be a very akward fit for drill team useage.

Unless the political winds change... Chinese SKS's are not allowed to be imported anymore.

Point taken, Garands and SKS's look classier though
