What does /k/ think of the SKS?
>>30451745
Makes me wish stripper clip loaded rifles were still made
>>30451745
It's just a good, solid rifle.
Should always leave the wood
>>30451745
>What does /k/ think of the SKS?
You'd know if you'd read the sticky instead of making this b8 thread.
Wheres the best place to look for one? Classic has yugo but not a fan of the way it looks with the grenade launcher, also heard the barrels not great on it. Prefer russian made, even if it is a little used.
>>30451745
inna woods
>>30453346
Gunbroker and local shops for Russian. For the money, the Yugo from classic is the best you can get.
>>30451745
Used to be the poster gun of /k/ when it was still cheap.
Then it was the Mosin when that was still cheap.
What's the poster gun of /k/ now that everything is expensive?
>>30453593
Closest thing probably would be an AK or AR. Seeing as they are somewhat cheap. But I'm pretty sure that /k/ will find a new obscure but accessible milsurp rifle and ammo to gualk at.
>>30451773
>I will never be a 10 year old watching the military channel for hours every day again
>>30451745
That SKS? Shit tier.
In general? One of this boards saying is literally "grab SKS and go innawoods" so I'm thinking the consensus is that we like it.
>>30451755
Me too. It's comfy.
>>30453346
Nothing wrong with the Yugo SKS, you just can't leave corrosive salts from old surplus ammo sitting in the bore overnight, since the bore isn't chromed.
You can't really get that old stuff these days anyway, so it's not a big deal.
>>30454467
It'll still shoot, won't it?
>>30454446
HOLY SHIT I KNOW THAT FEEL
Not worth it from a budget standpoint now that ARs and WASRs are so cheap. Just save a little while longer.
>>30455486
>SKS comes with the rugged
I can't stop laughing
>>30455564
You can get a chinkshit or Yugo SKS for $300
It's more like, "don't buy that nugget, get SKS"
>>30455486
Pretend ivanposters are the worst.
>>30455589
Show me where. SKSs are $400-$700 rifles now.
>>30455621
Like $200 /k/anadollars comrade.
>>30451745
>What does /k/ think of guns?
If I can only afford to buy one, should I go with an SKS or an AK
>>30453593
ARs
>>30454446
>>30451745
Makes me want to go run innawoods
>Asking a bulgarian sheep herding forum about firearms.
Wut?
>>30453866
>AKs
>cheap
nah, ARs have beaten the kalashnikovs to it
>>30455886
>syrupean
>thinks their arms market is relevant to any discussion
>>30451745
It's still the cheapest bottom line for a semi auto rifle out there.
It's .30 caliber boolit and lack of detachable (read: lose-able) magazines makes it a decent woodsgun that can kill man-weight and smaller game.
Other than that, though, it's heavy, less than accurate, and if you start trying to play bubba with it to make it into something it isn't, you start realising that you should have bought an entry level AR instead.
Basically, if you think of the SKS as the ultimate .30-30 levergun replacement, it's balls to the walls awesome.
If you think of it as "cheap AK", then it's a horrible gun that you should never consider buying.
>>30455486
>good ironsights
ehh I love my SKS to death but the irons are shite
>>30458651
That makes a lot of sense. I love my .44 lever but ammo is a bit expensive for plinking or serious woods load outs. Spitzer points, cheap ammo, semi auto, stripper clips, and a bayonet would be a nice upgrade.
>>30451745
>>30453593
I fell for the Innawoods Maymay and passed up an opportunity to buy an AK before my home state b& them. I regret not having an AK as an F-U to the Baltimore-Washington blue voters and representatives.
However, it's no doubt a decent gun. I like mine except for the trigger.
>>30453346
Some yugos are chromed lined som are not depends on the year made
http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=25489.0-says after 1970 they were chrome lined
http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=81.0-date of manufacture for those interested corresponding serial number crap
>>30451755
Molot actually makes them new production but the stupid fucking Obama bans cut them off from entering the U.S.
>>30459100
Thanks, Obama. I hope Trump and Putin get that shit sorted out along with the sanctions.
>Russian economy recovers so they can stop the "blame the Yanks" BS
>unfucked PL-14s, SVDs, and Molot guns for us
>>30451745
If you want.
Immersive, aesthetics.
Then yes.
If you want
Performance, ergonomics. >OP related.
Then don't show it to anyone outside the range, but do show them your target groups.
So fixed stock AMD 63 is better than folding stock AMD 65? Even if the stock on the 63 is American made?
>>30453572
430 USD for a Yugo SKS is the best for the money right now? No way, has the price gone up that much??
>>30461987
The folding stock on the AMD isn't particularly amazing in my opinion, nor is the foregrip or heatshield.
>>30459100
NO FUCKING WAY
I'm so mad
okay guys would it be a niggery idea to relieve the top of the action that interfaces with the edge of the gas block area? Mine can kind of rub on either side of the inside of the bolt it might be a bit smoother with a relief.
Also anyone ever consider a trigger job?
>>30451745
Wpuld love to see it modernized and in a variety of calibers.
Could you imagine if a 5.56 and .300blk version was made for the US market?
Make a stainless steel variant and you have my dream rifle.
>>30451755
VZ58/VZ2008 homie
Its a nice heavy chunk of wood and steel that coughs lead in an acceptable manner.
>>30458539
The butthurt is almost palpable
>>30453866
>new Milsurp
I see yugo mausers and k31s get talked about a lot
>>30464571
Dunno about yall but despite looking pretty and being fun to shoot, my VZ2008 was a total piece of shit. Regular FTFs and I couldn't shoot better than like 6 MOA from bench. I am not a poor shot, it was definitely the gun. Sold it ASAP for a modest profit.
>>30465475
Yes the poorly made century parts kit guns do suck. The fit and finish is inferior and accuracy is so poor that it can't be effectively used past 100 yards. HOWEVER, the original CSA rifles are very nice. I own one myself and it's extremely light weight, points well, and is comfortable to use.
>>30465696
Man I'm jealous. They're too expensive now for what they are, I'd have bought one for $7-800 or so.
Should I get a yugo sks from classic or a type 56 from JGsales?
The type 56s are cheaper but caked in cosmoline and are beat up.
thought it was nice enough to shoot but man do i hate the irons.
>>30465929
How beat up? If the stock is all fucked up, you could get a new one.
There isn't any shame in putting it in a plastic rifle stock for utility's sake, it's still an SKS (IMO it'd look the best with a OD green plastic stock).
Cosmoline can be bothersome, but it's not like it's impossible to get out.
Anybody know about a Chinese spiker SKS with "DP" as the factory mark? Nothing else on it except some Chinese characters that just say "type 56 carbine".
Got it new in the Cosmoline last week, completely unfired. Only info I can find online about factory "DP" is wild speculation on SKSboards from like 10 years ago
>>30466181
Well, the stocks are supposed to be packed in cosmoline, and be beat up and stuff. Supposed to be the possibility of small cracks.
>>30455599
only thing worse are fucking phone niggers that take screenshots of thread and repost them.
>>30453593
SKS.. expensive?

>>30469245
So what makes SKS in Canada cheaper than the U.S. anyways?
Is it because there are no more being imported in the U.S.?
But they are still being imported in canada?
>>30455486
I fucking swear slavboos are the cringiest people in the entire gun community.
>>30469285
different trade restrictions with Russia
>>30469315
I am so sick of LE RIFLE IS FINE.
Pretty cool if you managed to get on e for $100 back when it was possible
But $500 they ask for these days, not worth
>>30451745
SHALL

I was and it was glorious
