Not sure is anyone knew or had business with the SKS mans of NH. He use to have a web site (http://sksman.com/) and sell out of his home in NH. Over the last few years he had to suspend his business due to health problems. I had a few dealings with him and he was always fair with his prices and quality of product provided.
I was surprised to find out today that he had passed away a bit ago and his weapons are going up on auction in an estate sale. Anyone interested in going to the sale here is the info : http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionview.cgi?lid=2887055

Paul D. Dobrydnio, 78, of Merrimack passed away on Tuesday August 9th, 2016 at Ridgewood Center in Bedford after a battle with cancer.
He was born in Springfield, MA on June 4, 1938 to the late Edmund and Emma (Sefcik) Dobrydnio.
Paul was a U.S. Navy veteran and served from 1957 to 1960. His earlier post-military career allowed him to reside in both Alaska and Germany, where he became fluent in German. A lifelong, responsible firearm enthusiast Paul took pride later in semi-retirement running his own specialty accessory business. He was proud of his Polish heritage, an avid cook, history buff, animal lover, and enjoyed friendly debates on current events.
From his web site:
[h=1]How I Got Started[/h]My name is Paul. I became a gun nut as a small boy and later in life while selling firearms at gun shows in New England under "Paul's Guns", I started displaying the SKS Rifle and some accessories along with the other items that I was selling.
One day while taking a break and walking around a show looking at what other vendors were displaying, I overheard several customers telling each other that they needed to see what the SKS Man was selling before they left the show. I never forgot that !
Having suffered a stroke in 1997, I continued to do gun shows as "Paul's Guns" until it became to difficult to do. I stopped selling guns and decided to specialize in SKS parts and their accessories on-line and I had the perfect name for the business,"SKS MAN"
