Well, it arrived today. It is in my hands now, Parkerized Russianicon SKS,TULA manufacture, 1953r,bolt,receiver, stock,magazine all match (stock obviously has been around, too rows of x's. Top cover, receiver and barrel are a gray parkerized, gas tube and trigger group blued, trigger group serial number matches every thing else.Bought from a honest SKS collector thinning his herd.Came in with the recent flood of Russian sks rifles into Canadaicon.I agree, I can find no mention in any of my references about such a finish, but, it's sitting right here in front of me. When my youngest comes home from University on his reading break I'll try to get him to post some pics.
