28. If it's what I think it is.

No, not something worth dragging back from overseas. Unless he had a special connection to getting it. i.e. war trophy, belonged to a good friend, etc.

He probably picked it up off of gun broker, or a yard sale. Not like they are high end, highly sought after rifles. My guess is somebody bought one during the "assault weapon ban" back in the 90's. Bubba'd it up, and left it to a family member in passing.

Again, that's if it's an SKS. I would like to see a better picture, It could be a dragunov, but I highly doubt it.
