Why is the SKS considered the best shtf rifle?
>>
>>28062838
durability
simplicity
accuracy
readily available ammunition

low capacity is a major negative aspect though
>>
Relatively cheap semi auto. They were cheaper a few years ago which made them the ideal shtf rifle to stock up on. They are reliable, shoot a common cartridge and will take a beating. The prices keep going up on them so the grab sks go innawoods meme is becoming no longer relavent.
>>
>>28062865
also ammo in stripper clips is lighter and takes less space than in magazines
>>
>>28062838
The only benefit I can think of over the AK is there are no magazines (less weight), but it effects the capacity greatly.
If you practice with stripper clips, you can get good at quick reloads though. Wear gloves though.
>>
>>28062865
Yep, the only downside is 10 round magazine.
However, it can be loaded without stripper clips and without opening the magazine.
I see that as a plus.
>>
>>28062882
not to mention stripper clips only cost 50¢ each lol

I wonder, can you load those feeding from AK mag with clips, like you would normal SKS?
>>
>>28062906
AR? Nah. Mini-14 on the other hand...
>>
>>28062838

It's not. So, in the time it takes me to fire 30 rounds, reload, and fire 30 rounds again; it would take you 6 repetitions of a more complex action. 5.56 is easy to get, 7.62 x 39 is easily to get; ammo arguments at this point are fucking retarded unless you're using an obscure round; if you are, why?

SKS < Every AK/AR platform

Price is the only thing it has and even then it loses compared to something like an American Ruger Bolt Action.

the only advantage of a sks is no magazines, but severely hampering firepower
>>
>>28063017

> AR
> approximately 1 billion separate moving parts

Oh no... it's retarded. Just admit you don't like AR's because you don't own one, have never shot one, have never seen one field stripped (takes 5 seconds or less; requires NO tools), and you own a SKS you sleep with every night.

Your taste is shit, and I'm sorry but justifying it doesn't make it better. How many countries use the SKS again?
>>
>>28063047
it is possible and very simple to install removable mags on a SKS, I hear most mags are not very compatable with the original wooden stock though. the only good mags for the wooden stock are the original cheap metal ones, polymer sks mags are shit for the wooden stock
>>
>>28063017
I have both and the AR definitely has less moving parts, and is easier to replace parts on.

They used to be $80.
That is literally the only reason.

>>
>>28062838
Nobody got the answer right in the thread, so I will answer the question for you:

1. It's legal in all 50 states, so anyone can own one without gimping functionality or ergonomics.

2. It has no magazine to lose. You just need to worry about finding 7.62x39 ammo, and you have 10 rounds guaranteed capacity. Stripper clips are also a lighter way to carry ammo.

3. Integrated bayonet adds a little bit of all-rounding functionality, and again it's permanently attached and not likely to be lost.

4. 7.62x39 is an average round, but better than 5.56 for taking wildlife, especially in soft point.

Given the convenience of all of those being in an already-available format of a solid rifle, it really is a pretty good choice for SHTF compared to other rifles. It is the best within its price range and availability.
>>

because having a mother means I must be underage lol...

i just think the sks is more durable and would be better for long term use in combat conditions, would definitely rather have an ar or ak though in all reality

7.62 x 39 is "average" compared to what?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop using facts before you hurt their fee fees.
>>
>>28063201
I posted facts, not opinions.

7.62x39 is indeed "average". It has shorter range compared to 5.56, being effective around ~300 meters or less, especially out of the SKS.

The weight of the projectile and the slow initial speed prevent it being used in other capabilities that the 5.56 excels at. Since it is a larger diameter bullet, is slower, it therefore performs better in softpoint.

The SKS is still available on nearly any gun store auction website despite its age. That's what I meant by availability.

Please, read my post again and come back when you've regained capability for clear thought that is required to respond in a non-condescending manner.

In a SHTF situation, finding magazines will end up being an issue, whether you want to admit it or not. You aren't supplied by logistics anymore to replace broken/misplaced magazines. It's objectively better and more convenient to carry ammunition in stripper clips.
>>28063220
You know exactly what I meant, it's that anyone is able to buy it right now and not have to worry about "assault weapon" features or "bullet buttons" or anything of the like. Obviously to any non-autistic person, those considerations fade should anything actually happen to the government.
>>

>>28063295

You never answered why that's "average". It's range? Weight? Speed? That makes it average compared to what? What is the norm? Your terminology doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make you sound any smarter than you already don't.
>>
>>28063338
Average in terms of intermediate cartridge usability during a SHTF situation. The average things about it in this case are indeed its speed and range, as you guessed. Good work!
>>
>>28063329
plus there's the fact that you wouldn't even need the stripper clips to load it, it can be loaded manually and still holds 10 RDS, as opposed to an ar or an ak where you MUST have a magazine to put any thing more than 1 round at a time in it

I don't think it's the best SHTF rifle out there, it definitely beats being unarmed and the price makes it easily obtainable, also there's tons of 7.62x39mm out there.

I'm actually going to test my VZ 58 this winter to see how badly it'd fuck up, also in a SHTF scenario, I'd only take two magazines and as many stripper clips as I can carry, so the magazines aren't a major issue.

Honestly I'd take an AR 15 over either.

>>28063408

The VZ 58 can be loaded with stripper clips in the same fashion as the SKS, don't you need a stripper clip adapter for AK mags to load em?

Maybe if you're a neanderthal and holding it by the barrel and swinging it like a club...

An AR with an A1/A2 stock on one end and a bayonet on the other make a pretty good melee weapon.

Admittedly, the sks fires a more powerful round (1400 ft/lbds vs 2700 ft/lbs @ 100 yards) and is more reliable, but in a shtf scenario that is not what matters most.

The AR is more modular, easier to find parts for due to its popularity, lighter, and more accurate.

Modern combat has more to do with who can move faster and send more lead downrange than how hard hitting a weapon is. This is to say nothing of the fact that a child could use an AR effectively due to the low recoil.

A properly trained individual will put two in the chest and one in the head mo matter what calibre their weapon is, and being able to carry more ammunition is a huge advantage over more powerful ammunition.

Admittedly, I have a preference to the AR because I'm former military and it is what I was trained on.

The AR is reliable within reason. Don't bury it in sand. Don't pour mud down the barrel. Don't let it get run over. Other than that, regular cleaning will keep it running; I've dragged myself out of a swamp with it and it still fired reliably.

The modern AR is not the m16 our grandfathers fought with.

I LIKE Mausers quite a bit actually, but all of my fun posting aside I would not want to rely on availability of 8mm Mauser ammo and parts in SHTF even if a Mauser is an excellent rifle. It's just how guns and ammo have been distributed across the US: infinitely more Mosins are around, and so is their ammunition.

Hi.

I'm an engineering technician who intends to work in the defense industry.

The SKS is a scaled-down version of an anti-tank rifle (the PTRS-41) and it's definitely overbuilt for an intermediary round, which is good considering that the rifle basically works double-duty as a spear. You were meant to basically zerg-rush people with them. THAT is why it was replaced even after producing so many of them. The kind of firefight that they were designed for isn't the norm anymore.

The principles behind the design decisions for the AR-10/15 are different.

For one, it's one of the first major designs to use aluminum for the receiver. Take a look at the specifications of the 7075 Aluminum used in AR's compared to 4140 Steel:

http://www.makeitfrom.com/compare/7075-T7-Aluminum/SAE-AISI-4140-SCM440-1.7225-42CrMo4-G41400-Cr-Mo-Steel/

The strength to weight ratio means that they can create an equally strong design for less weight. It's also much easier to machine aluminum due to its higher ductility, it doesn't disintegrate into nothing through oxidation (thanks to passivation), and is more thermally conductive (allowing it to cool faster).

Second, you'll notice that the bore's axis is directly in line with the centerline of the bolt carrier group, which then travels in a straight line directly into the shoulder via the buffer tube. This alignment significantly reduces muzzle-rise and makes the felt recoil much easier to manage even for weaker individuals.

Then there are the ergonomic changes. You don't even need to break your sight picture when reloading an AR. Doing that with an SKS would be quite a bit more challenging.

M24/47s are cheaper than M39s you nigger

If there was a true "SHTF" situation, you wouldn't be scrounging for ammo. You'd be pretty much tied to the supply you had from before.

Think of the Sandy Hook happening. Everyone knew boolits were a commodity and jumped on them.

Nigga are you ignoring all of the points I made for a $100 price difference?

There is nothing wrong with a rimmed cartridge if your interruptor isn't broken.

I'm really curious as to where you're finding M39s for $250-$300.

And there is nothing wrong with a rimmed cartridge, they are just inherently worse than an unrimmed or semi-rimmed. There are good reasons most every country began phasing them out at the start of the 20th century. After all, the interruptor is just one more piece that can, and does, break.

i gots me a mauser k98 and a mosin 91/30

basically
>mauser
rare type of ammunition
same price as mosin usually
better sights than mosin imo
smoother action than mosin
more accurate than mosin
extremely nice trigger compared to mosin
RARE BULLETS/PARTS
also where i live I can only find 8mm mauser commercial and they are around 40$ for 20 rounds

>mosin
readily available and cheap ammunition
rough and durable
shitty trigger
shitty sights than can get bent easily
easy to find parts for
fairly accurate
>>

The maximum magazine capacity for centerfire rifles is actually 5!
>>
>>28063903
The problem with the 22 is that if you accidentally shoot down you may destroy the world.
>>
>>28063955

>I'm really curious as to where you're finding M39s for $250-$300.

Nowhere. They are $400-$500 on armslist, even more on gunbroker. They dont exist anymore on mosincrate or classicfirearms or anywhere else like that.

If you're interested in one buy one now. If not, buy one now anyways and sell it in ten years for twice what you paid for it. They were $50 in the mid 90's.
>>
>>28063977

>mauser
>same price as mosin usually

nigger what? both the ammo and rifle itself are more expensive for a mauser.
>>

>Study and work in design/engineering/manufacturing

'kay.

>>28063978

Only for semi-automatic centerfire rifles. Manually operated firearms (bolt, lever, pump) have no limit and only need to be 26" in overall length with stock folded/collapsed to remain non-restricted.

Our laws are needlessly complicated.
>>
>>28064004
This is 4chan, motherfucker. Home of merit by argument alone.

You want people to suck your dick on ethos, fuck off to reddit.

Manually operated long-guns, I should say. Handguns are always 10.

>>28064020

If you choose to get asspained about it, that's your call. Offering basic background information doesn't need to be a huge drama, Anon.

>>28064003
i paid around 200 for a good condition mosin, 220 for a great condition mauser, granted the mosin came from an actual sporting goods store and the mauser from a small gun shop

Is that your only gun? Any semi auto blows a bolt action out of the water for anything up to 400 yards.

Have some WASR.

>>28064076
Yugo's can be had for that price here and there, not every single mauser is a german k98. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about paying 200 for a mosin.
>>
>>28064076
I literally swear, bought it about 3 yrs ago, granted it didn't come with the cleaning rod and it doesn't have the round circle part on the stock, its a yugo zastava m98/48 i think it is called

It's probably a 24/47.
I bought one not long ago. There isn't a Yugo 98. The 98 Mausers were made by Gewehr.

Now even better question, best SHTF sidearm?
>>
Cheap (they were at least) so anyone can afford them
Simple to use
Don't have to stock up on mags or invest in mag carriers
Doesn't frighten the scaredycücks

It's the best common man's SHTF rifle. Something you can recommend to anybody and they won't have an issue affording or operating it. If you have more money and more time to train I'd say get an AK, AR, or battle rifle.

Glock 19 if you want commonality. The 17 mags a lot of police departmentsand civilians use will fit it. It's also small and light, good to set and forget.

Personally I'd recommend an FNS or FNX 9 because really none of that matters but weight and having a common caliber, and I'd prefer not to shoot myself in the leg during an event like shtf. Your call though.

>>28064340
S&W 59 series
Ruger P89
RIA 1911's and Revolvers
Jericho

EAA Witness
Used Ruger, Charter Arms, and S&W revolvers

Whatever is cheap and reliable. Honestly handfuns are less important than rifles.

Yeah that's it, couldn't be bothered to look it up, couldn't remember what it was called. Didn't they claim it could like 26 different caliber total?
>>
>>28069169

Something like that. Though they were dipping into some obsolete and niche rounds for that one. Still really interesting, though.
