God Bless the Threeper Who Sent Me This.

This put my SKS project well along in the planning stage. I am attempting a number of things with this project. I have been asked why, indeed, I am trying so hard to build another SKS, which are viewed by some gunnies as, ahem, lesser quality firearms shall we say.

The first reason is that we are coming up on one of those turning of the tides and do not wish to have anything left undone. If I have the parts to build an SKS, then let it be built now. If I have components to put back ammo, then let that too be done before King Barack stays or goes.

The second reason is that this will be something I could not obtain or afford if a found one. A 16.5" Norinco barreled Yugo receiver with a flash suppressor looking something like this that takes AK mags:

The third reason is subversive, and i quote from the aforesaid book:

From The SKS Carbine by Steve Kehaya and Joe Poyer:

Yugoslavian SKS Carbine
The first Yugoslavian SKS carbines were imported into the United States by the Mitchell Arms company in 1987. The same year, the first of the flood of Chinese SKS carbines were also imported and sold at a much lower price. It wasn't until 1991 when Congress again amended the 1968 Gun Control Act to allow the importation of obsolete military surplus weapons from the former communist nations of Europe that SKS carbines from other former Communist-Bloc nations were again allowed.

SKS carbines of "military origin": were granted "Curio and Relic " status by the BATF whih meant that they could retain their grenade launchers and attached bayonets. In fact, removing the grenade launcher made the carbine illegal, unless you removed all the other "assault weapon" components and cut off the barrel to remove the offending threads -- or welded a muzzle cover over them.

Catch 22 is alive and well in American firearms regulations -- if you attach the original bayonet to a Chinese-made SKS you are breaking the law. But remove it from a Yugoslav SKS and you are also breaking the law.

And as you know, the 922 Witch at ATF headquarters cackles, "These things must be done delicately." That book will help tremendously.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
