sks
hey brother,i am happy you appreciated me taking the time to write it.i have every sks ever. i mean every sks imported into america.the best bang for your money is a yugoslavian m59/66,just clean it up as i said and it will be a beautiful piece.if you find a yugo m59 that sks is rare so it is worth more.norinco makes a beautiful sks.one is a very short paratrooper model,worth a bit more,then a paratrooper sks that takes ak47 mags from the factory,the standard full size sks full size chrome bore.the yugos don`t have chrome bores and they all used corrosive ammo,so check the bore.most are discusting and black.but i have a trick which works very well,i take a cleaning brush on a drill and go back and forth til most of the black is out and then i can actually see the bore.even nasty barrels,you can shoot them fairly clean.so now we get to russian sks.any russian sks with a beautiful laminated stock was refinished at the factory and are masterpieces,some numbers may not match but we are talking sks here.the muddy dark brownish red russian ones are the unrefinished ones.don`t let looks fool you.most have brand new chrome bores and all matching numbers.the russians are usually the most desired,then the norincos.the only reason i am saying yugo`s are lower on my list is thy have a gas shut off valve for making it only shoot one blank for the grenade launcher,it is a button that switches left or right.if you don`t know what you are looking at.you will own a sks single shot.romanian ak47 are always beat to death and carved on and just used and beat on.but i say that, but they are rare.the holy grail,king of kings of sks is the bulgarian sks`s.they don`t even look like a sks,a box magazine,long forearm,longer gas tube and a huge pike bayonet and only 5k came into the country,i having one.it makes the norinco pike bayonets look small.norinco has a pike bayo,bulgarian have a pike bayo the rest are blade bayos.gunbroker will have a great, maybe new in the box with cleaning kit and green sling for about 400 to 500 bills.but we are talking about an unfired one.which they are out there.the most wanted ones are the paratrooper models especially the one that takes ak47.man,i don`t know you. but i sold guns for nine years and just giving you a tip.leave it alone,clean up the wood and metal and have fun shooting
[email protected] yards with wolf steel ammo you can do 6 inch pie plate groups all day with open sites.don`t turn your gun into a 6 pound gun with 8 pounds of crap on it.take it from me,it is all shit.then they call them assault weapons which drives me insane.because they where made for conscript russian army that where farmers and where not on the front line.yeah you can take out the 10 round mag and put in a 30 round detachable mag.they never work.a scope never keeps it`s zero because it is the receive cover held in by two tits in the front and a bowel like pin,plus it has to be a small 4x scope because sks shoots the spent shells up and a big scope would be destroyed,they make a bullet shield but get`s beat to death and breaks a couple hundred rounds.you want to change it.a 7.62x39 round is the equivelant to a 30/30 round give or take,go buy yourself a simple plastic overmolded monte carlo stock,take out the ten round mag.they are out there and work,five round hunting mags that drop free and get some 154 grain soft points and kill deer and pigs all day with it.i have a 60 gun safe with only sks`s in it.i can post pics of sks`s for days.if you have not, check out my refinished yugo,you will love it.i am going to post a beautiful laminated russian sks next.i hope my long and rambling message helps you brother.
