Guns don't age the way other things do. I took my 11ga side by side muzzle
loader to trap last Friday. We fired both barrels 4 times. I shot it twice,
Angie once and the guy who runs trap fired it once.It functioned perfectly, all
8 shots went off with only barely perceptible delay. That gun dates from some
time in the 1890s and functions exactly the same today as it did 120+ years ago.
Most normal people will never "wear out" a gun unless that gun was really cheap
to begin with.
The SKS in particular is a very simple design intended to be used by people
with no technological skill whatsoever. Its a real winner of a design.

1964-67 roughly. I’ve got to look at the serial number, as it’s date coded,
but the C-series rifles were built in or around that time frame.
It’s the VW Beetle of battlefield rifles, which is why I have one. First time I
shot one I knew I had to have one.
