I was thinking we could have one that was dedicated to the SKS. I bought (layaway) a Yugo SKS Rifle Stocks today, I paid $251 (is that a good price?) total. It has the flip up grenade sight, and long muzzle device. Stock was dark (possibly dirty?), all numbers matched (don’t know if that’s a big deal?) and the pad on the butt plate was intact. I don’t know much about the SKS, but I’m betting someone here does. I’ll post up some pics of it next week.

SKS are good simple reliable rifles, hard to beat.
Order up some spam cans of ammo on stripper clips.
The stippers are resuable, and make loading fast.

Price, not bad these days, when SKS’s first started to get imported many years ago they where around $75 – $100 wholesell. Ammo was about that same price for 1100 on stippers and 1500 loose.
Should have put away a case of the russian ones. I like the looks of the older Russian ones, they are listed as C & R’s nowadays.

Its been reported, but I’m not sure if 100% fact, that China imported more SKS’s in a 3-5 year span then the entire production of Win. Model 94′s.

im not saying your wrong (seriously i’m not)
but i definitly re buying 2 crates of sks’s in 94 (pretty sure it was 94) for a grand total of about 45 dollars a rifle
couldn’t tell you what kind they were, i was all of about 16 and my “cousin” was 18, and at the time it seemed like an awesome idea.

as teenagers coming out of the cold war era we had a serious survivor mentality for some reason, so the crates and ammo we picked up with em went into a “cache” for a lack of a better word. where we “lived” at the time, that kind of stuff didn’t really raise any eyebrows. They guy we bought em from was a serious, old school, country, kitchen table ffl, who had crates and crates of stuff in his garage.

which reminds me, i should prolly go retrieve them from their current location before that property gets sold.

hadn’t even thought about those rifles in years.

In ’94, they were probably Chinese.

That’s about the time they were as common as most anything else in the local stores.

I should have bought more and I should have held on the the ones I bought. Have one Yugo now.

Oh yes, the Norinco SKS. I have both the rifle and carbine version. Great shooters and neither have ever failed to go bang. Back in the early 90′s you could get a rifle and 1,000 rounds for under $150 IIRC. Now I see them selling for $300+.

i dont even know what version they are,

all we knew was they were 40$ a rifle in crates of 10 with all kinds of cool shit, and the ammo was cheap as hell. Since we “put them down” we havent even touched the spot where they are, out of sight out of mind and all,

i think we pretty much verified that they were all real rifles, and then we set em up for loooooong term storage.

that old guy was cool as hell, he always had all kinds of crap, i think he went to alot of auctions at the ng base nearby.

we ended up with all kinds of cool stuff everytime we swung by

i’ll be the first to admit that my childhood was kind of different than most other folks, had alot of slightly unhinged vets as role models, who thought that kids should know everything they had to teach about what they learned in the service.

and the local neighbors (ie on the bounds of our acerage) were pretty much all serious survivalists, learned alooooot

and alot of what i learned has paid huge dividends in my military carrer

This means your reticle will automatically adjust itself as you move from target to target adjusting for each lighting scenario. This eliminates the problems with other optics that use ambient light. Your reticle wont disappear in with a bright target, and wont overpower with a low light target. The housing is also titanium rather than aluminum, and it only comes with an a.r.m.s. lever mount. You can also program the optic to your personal preferences on how bright or dim you want your reticle. Hope that helps!

I still think these optics are going to be a tough sell. Oh, one more thing, no bible verses. That’s a deal killer right there. Maybe he can market his scopes to atheists.

Unless you are bench resting andshooting targetsshooting, you probably will not notice any difference between 7n6 and quality (Fed, IMI, etc.) 556.

I have an LWRC M6AK and it shoots essentially as well as my 556.

Terminal ballistics of 7n6 are better (IMO) than all but the exotic 556 rounds.

I have a M1S with 20″ bbl and float tube, NM iron sights, plain muzzle.
From the prone position as in Service Rifle, it will hold the X ring @ 100 yards using the SR-1 and SR-21 targets, using surplus.
Sorry, but I don’t have any scanned in. I built this for the kid to have cheap short range practise and it becomes everybody’s favorite once they shoot it….

Kind of a drift but is there really much of a gain (other than sight radius if using irons) in going with the 20″ barrel instead of a 16″? I mean the 5.45 velocity is up there anyway and doesn’t lose much out of a short barrel so does the extra few inches stabilize even more to show a big difference accuracy wise?

5.45 was designed for use in 16″ barrels, and has some great velocity already out of a 16″, so I see no practical benefits in a longer pipe. Vuurwapen did a great video on 5.45 at 600yds, and printed some nice groups at that range as well, which is way more performance than the Soviets ever envisioned for the caliber, unless talking about a long-barreled RPKS-74.

so then this 5.45 is actually a pretty good accurate round??? why is everybody talking about Cproduct mags for this… will regular Pmags not work..????

so is it safe to say that a 5.45 Ar should be able to produce 1moa or better????

5.45 hits stuff that I point it at as far as I can see with the naked eye. I don’t shoot paper so I’m not sure what groups I’m getting.

If you search, there was a recent post (not necessarily here ) by someone who modified PMag followers to work with 5.45 to near if not full capacity. Unmodified, the case taper of the 5.45 round causes the rounds to bind at far less than full (30 round) capacity.

I don’t know as I have had what I guess is extremely good luck with C-Products mags.

Exotic rounds, yes; others no.

The “not really a hollow point” tip of 7n6 allows the nose to “collapse” on impact and tumble.

Remember, we are talking about surplus rounds which are around $0.15 each, not exotic Mk7422 at $1.00 each.

If I had a choice of which I was going to be shot with, it would NOT be 7n6 5.45.

It’s as accurate (or consistent I guess) as the 5.56 stuff I paid double for. At least it is once I realized how important Loctite is on mounting screws…

Remington 870 Stocks

Guns are only one hobby of mine, so I can use analogies to other ones. Getting your mind wrapped around ONLY ONE SCOPE is like saying you ONLY want one pickup for your guitars without trying any of them first. I’m not saying you need to purchase 15 different scopes for this one rifle, but I’ve probably played well over 500 guitars in the last 10 years before I became as opinionated about pickups as I am now. I have shot and looked through about 200 scopes before I knew what I felt about each one. Have you taken the steps to handle some of these scopes we/I mention?

I had been looking around for a small reflex sight. It was a toss up between a Barska, a Bushnell, and a Browning of this same type. They were all around the $60.00 price point. Nobody had them in stock. I hadn’t heard of Primary Arms yet and didn’t want something as big as the pre-X series EOTechs. I went to a semi-local Gun Show and saw everybody had these Nc Star 4 Reticle reflex sights. They were the same as the Barska, Bushnell, and Browning at the same price point.

The G2 LED is a very good weapons light if you have an AR, but is too long for your S&W. I’ve had poor experience with Insight for both light-only and light-laser. I don’t like the locking mechanism on their units, and was disappointed in the lights. Not as bright as the LED competitors from streamlight and SureFire, and focus was not as good.

I think im gonna spent the extra dough and go with the SureFire X300…although i want a light-laser combo…I will do some more pondering over the 2 and make a decision in the near future. Thanks again for the input. Stephen HeliBoy 6/7/2008 12:32:21 PM Give Kevin over @

There really isn’t a bad SKS Rifle Stocks unless dome dumb hick dragged it through the TAPCO catalog. They are fun guns to shoot. Every gun owner should have one.

$295 is pretty fair in today’s market for a norinco. You can find them for slightly less, but it will take lots of time and persistence to save $30-$50.
