Russian SKS-45 Unboxing-1957 KBI Letter Series

I recently acquired a fascinating piece of history – a one-owner Russian SKS-45, complete with its original KBI box and accessories. Unboxing this gem revealed not just a rifle, but a time capsule. The included paperwork, dated August 1994, sheds light on its journey. This particular SKS is a letter series from 1957, stamped И= I in English. Other letter series include 1956 (Д = D) and 1958 (K= K). The SKS-45, with its iconic design, played a significant role in military history. Its reliability and craftsmanship make it a timeless piece. This rifle has its own unique story, and the original paperwork provides a glimpse into its past. As I unbox this SKS and offer a glimpse into the 90s when a SKS was $150, I can’t help but marvel at the craftsmanship and engineering of this vintage firearm. The intricate details and historical significance make it a captivating journey through time.
