Default Re: SKS?

$120 for an SKS! I'd be all over that! A few months ago I saw two beautiful NORINCOs in excellent shape going for $400 each. They were not there very long. I've been seeing Yugoslavian SKSs going for anywhere from $289-$399, depending on the seller and the condition and I recently saw another NORINCO go for $399. Looks like the days of the cheap SKS are gone

I've fired both a Russian SKS and my Romanian AK, and I much perfer the AK design. Although lighter, the AK has a lot less recoil. The AK is also more confortable to me. I also perfer the AK over the AR. It's not as accurate, but it's more reliable and easier to maintain (although in all fairness, a good quality AR, properly cared for with the proper ammo is reliable as well).

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges - Cicero

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams
