>>31773042
Nice Yugo.
Need to get yourself a Yugo sling to go with it.
>And some dummy grenades and blanks

I live in California. Can I get a SKS? I heard that Norinco SKS's were legal. I thought bayonets were illegal though so what the fug? Does the bayonet have to be gone? Or can I keep it due to some weird loop hole?

>>31773151
Already got the sling, but don't have the funds for the grenades yet

No camera, own a beat up old 1952 Tula factory SKS.

Kind of wish I had held out after getting my license, just came back from a gunshow and they had lots of premium quality russian SKSs for under $300 CND.

>>31773151
>>31773042
Get a blue canvas sling. the leather ones are shit in comparison.

The rust spots (along with some cosmoline) will come out with very hot water and dish soap.

Is an SKS legal in Cook county IL? I must know.

>>31774793
Don't ask a bunch of retards on an internet forum, do actual research into your local laws. Telling people this gets old.

>>31774815
I did and I got no straight answers. One forum was saying that it's perfectly legal in its original unmodified condition, while another says that it's illegal outright. I just figured I'd ask here because odds are there's something else here from Cook County who knows.

>>31774831
You have to go deeper.

>>31774927
>Read through list of "assault weapons"
>Every single gun that I had interest in is banned
>Except for SKSfu
I guess it's because the mag isn't detachable, no pistol grip or foregrip, and no collapsible stock.
I guess that means any type of bubba is out of the question. Anyone else in Cook with an SKS?

Here's my yugo m59

Also have two 1954 tula rifles thatI bought for 400 bucks a few years ago. Waiting for the price to clumb higher before I sell one

>>31772883
Great place to start! The sling looks out of place as fuck but oh well. A Russian?

>>31773199
If your old Tula works I wouldn't be too disappointed, an SKS is an SKS up here in Canuckistan. That being said yes, if you want something better looking the time is now, the prices are ever so slowly creeping up and up. I lucked out and bought my SKS back when they were a little lower than they are now, an all-matching 1951 Tula for $250 Syrup bucks. Sadly I don't have my favourite picture of it anymore, I'll have to take one once it freezes up and I can go shooting in my area again.

I enjoy my m59 very much. It is very well built without the extraneous features of the m59/66. I actually sold my chinese sks after buying this one. It has some serious heft and just feels good to use. The appearance is worn but the bore was perfect when I bought it.

Fantastic, honestly. On par with Russians I've handled. It surprises me that your M44 is poor. The Rommy guns are typically well made.

J&G has Chinese beater SKSs for like $320, should I get one? I'd love to own an SKS and I already have an AK so I've got plenty of ammo.

>>31775911
Does anyone know where I cant get a 13 inch sks cleaning rod for this thing? Ive looked around, but I haven't found one in stock. I would rather not cut down a 17 inch one.

Are Chinese SKS worth the money? I keep seeing them for $2-400. That worth it?

I only bought it because of the price- 350 for the rifle and 700 rounds of ammo. The stock is really bad. Its like someone cut the shape out of a 2x4. Someone the previous owner managed to wear through the butt plate as well.

>>31776965
Holy fuck yes. Where are you finding them for these prices?

I payed 300$ after taxes and the background check, I just like the look and feel of thumbhole. Thought about restoring it to it's original configuration, but I had a hard time finding a stock that wasn't beat to hell.

>>31777062
Not that anon, but there's a Chinese one for sale near Orlando for 300$. All the others I've seen have been 450$+ Yugos.

I'm really tempted to get it but I'm a poor college student who should probably save money instead of buying more funs.

>>31777171
What does that even mean? The SKS is just fine with 10 rounds. The AK is just fine with 30 round mags. There's nothing wrong with someone like yourself using an aftermarket 30 rd mag for the SKS, but your original point is that everyone in this thread is cucked because they don't use these aftermarket mags. Thats not the case. Most people don't choose the big 30 round on an SKS because it looks silly and poorfagish

Just got one from J&G sales two weeks ago. Very happy with it. Stock is beat too shit, which was expected. Rifle I got is 99% matching numbers. (Only the charging handle/bolt carrier thingy doesn't match.) 4 hour clean up of cosmo off metal, stock still sweats some when warmed up. Gun was accurate enough out of the box. Slight tweeking of front sight post brought everything where I wanted it @ 100 yrds. Rifle is a 1963 /26\. $350 with shipping to Florida.

Figured this would be a good place to ask:

I'm buying my first Raifu, and I'm stuck between a $700 AR and a $450 SKS here in GA. My friends say that the SKS will leave much to be desired and is not as practical. Is this true? What is left to be desired?

>>31778775
build an AR for $550.
SKS aren't really worth their inflated price 2bh, and it's best left to collectors and people who enjoy milsurp these days.

>>31778775
It really depends on what you want to use the rifle for. Do you want to kill deer and piggies in the woods and do cheap plinking? The SKS will be fine. Do you want to be a TACTICOOL XTREEM OPER8R with maximum aftermarket modification or rice out your gun to be a ten pound sub-MOA bench queen? Get the AR.

glued on with a reinforcing bolt connecting the grip and stock. it seems very sturdy, but if it breaks I don't give a fuck. it's a chinese stock I got for free.

>>31781586
honestly they're selling a bunch of yugos as the "ultimate buy" at an inflated price because that's the American SKS market nowadays. if you REALLY have your heart set on this weapon and can't shell out a benjamin more for a better/more practical weapon then go for it. But as someone who owns a russian, norinco, and yugo understand the SKS is really a weapon that does nothing to write home about

I'd say maybe. Early ones were built to Russian spec, later ones were less machined. Mine is an early factory 26.

Old pic because bleh.

>>31782526
Nice middle rifle.

>>31782510
New ones too? I have heard the m14 clones aren't of the toppest quality, but that could be a particular design/spec flaw and totally irrelevant to the SKS

>>31782526
Less machined as in less finely machined, or they actually started using stamped receivers and shit?

>>31782616
Less lightening marks, pinned barrels over thread, pig sticker over the blade style bayo, and sometimes worse fitment with the cleaning rod/magazine.

Hey SKS, got this email from JG today. Maybe if you want a China rifle it'll help you.

>>31788268
Thanks. Just your standard Birchwood Casey Walnut/Tru-oil refinish kit. I wavered on doing it but it's a not of significant historical value, and I wanted it to be protected from the elements since it'll be for hog/durr in river-bottom brush (my 30-30 went to my younger brother).

>>31788443
Mine wasn't bad, the stock was really the only thing that left some to be desired, soft wood with plenty of dents/scratches. Bore was nice and shiny with good rifling. Bluing was a bit worn on sharp edges as you would expect but overall still good. No rust at all on mine; completely saturated in cosmoline. Factory matching numbers. Have yet to really give it the business in sighting it in, but it was as accurate as I am at 35-40yd standing.

Mine came with a bipod, but I have the banana so I'm not sure a bipod is practical, where can I get chink bayonets?

I just bought a Chinese SKS.

Where do you guys get stripper clips? I've heard all the new ones are shit. I have plenty of ammo so I'd rather just buy good strips. Can anyone help me out?

>>31776306
your cleaning rod is bent. Straighten it out or remove it if you cant fix it.

>>31779934
I bought a handpick a while back, maybe 2 months ago. They had a sale on it for 30 bucks off so I basically payed 7 dollars for a 20 dollar handpick and the 17$ shipping.

Im 99.9% sure it has never been fired. Bolt face is super clean, rifling is perfect. Stock has no dents or scratches. Very nice. Completely covered in cosmoline though. good lord it was a mess. Probably heated it for 1.5 hours with a hair dryer on high.

You can buy a thread adapter for the Chinese sks. I have one.

>>31782616
Most of the Chinese SKS's have threaded in barrels. Only the commercial ones have a pinned barrel. Even then, nothing wrong with that. A guy I used to work with claimed his pinned barrel one shot better than any other sks he's had. He was a richfag, owned over 400 guns and 3 houses.

Question;
I have a Chinese sks, and it seems to have this gap between the top of the gas tube and the port. Is this an issue? Should I get a replacement? In footage of me shooting it, every once in a while a jet of gas can be seen from the gap. The size of the gap is maybe he thickness of a dime.

>>31773164
Yes you can, bayonets arent illegal here, and the only problem is the grenade cup on the yugo models has to be cut off or "deactivated"

>>31773164
If you keep the fixed mag, I think it exempts all the evil features.

>>31798593

I wouldn't worry about it unless you have problems with cycling. As long as the gun ejects and chambers a new round every time I think you're ok

>>31798593
it's fine. The gas piston has picked up pretty much all the energy required to cycle in the first cm. That's why some AKs have holes drilled in the gas tube with no ill effect.

>>31795201
At least as reliable, possibly more accurate than the AK. Best poorfag SKS is called "living in Canada".

There are a few possibilities for mounting optics:
>replacement dust covers with one or three rails
Some of these allow you to use iron sights as well, but they leave the optic too high and rearward for my taste
>kwikrail that replaces dust cover and front sight
Great for a scout setup, but I've heard you can't use stripper clips
>bubba's side-mounts
Can be tricky to install but the superior option IMO.

As for reloading tactics, just make sure you have sturdy thumbs and good stripper clips.

No. The military surplus type56 ones are more common, and the only ones that can still be exported here on occasion. Imports on guns coming from china that are semi auto rifles got shut off in 1994, the only ones we can get now have to be 50+ years old, and can't be coming from china. They come in as "relic" firearms.
