Decent 7.62x39mm semi-auto rifle

Either get an ak like a WASR, or get the mini chambered for 5.56 or 300blackout. Apparently the 7.62x39 version doesn't like steel case too well. An AK or AR are better overall but the mini is the little bro of the m14 and the m1 garand and will serve you fine. 99% of people won't notice the difference in reliability unless you neglect your rifle and start throwing dirt in the action

the mini 30 is trash. It's not reliable and cant shoot slavshit ammo for shit. Get sks if you like the carbine feel or an ak there both better in every way

Where can I get an SKS? DO they make them/import anymore?

Literally anywhere, especially if you're in Canada. Do a 5 minutes google search. They're not as cheap as they used to be, but you can find them for decent prices.

If I decide on a Mini, I think I will go for .300 Blackout. I already own a Ruger AR-556.

Hey op, if you really want a Ruger don't let people here get to you. Ruger has great customer service. If you get a mini30...Unless you install a heavy hammer spring, you're stuck using brass ammo. PMC and fiocchi offer good ball ammo in 7.62x39.

Right now if I were you, I'd order a wasr10 and get surplus mags or the Magpul gen2 AK mags with the stainless reinforcement. That's all I run is the gen 2. Their great.

Mini30 mags won't be as cheap and none OEM mags won't work typically.

Accuracy is a none argument. I will say wasr's are like rolling the dice. I have gotten shit ones and I have gotten a few that are more accurate than my colt and stag ar15 carbines. Mini30 accuracy is meh.

An SKS is arguably far better, more reliable, easier to maintain, just as accurate, and doesn't give a damn what you feed it.

Plus, it's a HELL of a lot cheaper.

SKS looks good. Will look into.
