In the US we got the M21 version made in 1979. Seems identical in parts to this one. Ours didn’t have bayonets, they had to be removed for import, but no pin in the magazine.

Fitted one of these windshields to my Rebel 500. Gave it a good try but have had to remove it. Wind noise at highway speeds was intolerable (+90kph/55mph). Wind turbulence around my helmet sounded like constant sonic booms or constant loud backfiring in my ears. Ear plugs made little difference. Didn't matter whether the helmet vents were open or closed. Went for a long ride today with the windshield removed and without ear plugs. It was back to normal type of wind noise which is not very loud at all. A very pleasant ride again. Putting one hand in front of my chest I could feel wind pressure that wasn't there with the windshield. However I would not have noticed the difference in wind pressure on my chest if not for that "hand test". Maybe it's peculiar to my helmet or height (5' 6'') but this windshield certainly didn't work out for me. Pity. I liked the look and liked the way it protected my phone or GPS from the wind stream when mounted to the nav bar above the gauges housing.

Interesting! I had the 23 million I bought in last year, painful to see they are putting the magazine pin in a different location on those 24 million now! They are definately f*cking with the S/N now, damn! But what I see you got there was your shellac is absolutely smoother than my 23 million! I went through about 10 of these 23 million, and the paint on almost all 23 million were rough. Out of interest, which shop did you get your 24 million from?

@@MikeThompsonn It makes sense, given that everything gets harder and more brittle in freezing temperatures. The all plastic models (Jungle stock SKS) were holding up great in warm climate, but never tested in the cold, brutal winters. Mind you, after a couple of rounds, I bet this cover will get pretty toasty..! I got a French Tickler to add to my collection, earlier this month, and agree with your overall sentiment - it is by far the nicest SKS I’ve seen.
