Theyre dirt cheap, but I've heard good things about them. Thinking of picking one up. Have a lot of 7.62x39 ammo laying around anyway. Any thoughts or opinions? Thanks.

I've got a Chinese SK, it's a paratrooper model, shorter than the standard ones. Everyone says to avoid the Chink ones, and get a Romanian model, but I've never had any problems with mine.
They are pretty reliable, but their accuracy sucks at long ranges.
I would recommend scrapping the standard five round mag and getting a fixed 10 round mag. Avoid the detachable magazines, with the SK's I've fired they jam like hell.

Yugoslavian SKS's currently being imported on the market are a good buy I was impressed with the machine work on them. The Albanian SKS's are interesting for collecting purposes, but their more expensive and made a bit rougher. Romanian and Russian SKS's are both made well, but no one is importing them anymore. Your best bet if you want an SKS is the Yugo.

I would concur with the statement about Yugo SKS's. The weapon is solid. And it loves inexpensive Wolf 7.62!

I'm a bit of an sks connisuer.I love them all!but I find the Russian to be slightly more accurate.they are easy to glass bed as far as any rifle goes,and that greatly increases accuracy.[just remember to cover the cleaning rod channel in paper tape!!]if you can get access to a good selection of rifles,get the ones with an MP prefix to the serial#they're marked russian but are actually early cold war east german! :D

I didn't know that you could get East German SKS's? Do You know where? Of course DDR is cream of the crop for Warsaw Pakt weapons.

glass bedding is one thing to do, another thing to do to improve accuracy is lose the silly assed folding bayonet and the cleaning rod.
Russ sks are great. they were selling them a few years back, reconditioned, nearly as cheap as the Chink ones but far better quality. Chink guns suck. They are made by slaves and the metal parts often vary in size quite a bit, as if made by hand. You try to swap out the gas tube on one chink sks it's liable to be to long for another Chink SKS.
Norinco guns of any variety, like that. "Polytech" versions of things were slightly better. I dont know what they bring in new, if anything. 3 words: Chink guns suck.
absolutely keep the stock 10 rd fixed magazine. very solid, losing or denting mags never a problem, 10 rd clips cheap as dirt, definitely enhances the "survival" factor of the weapons. usually the weak link in any jam of a semi auto is the feeding system in particular the magazine.

Never had a problem w/ my Chi-Com AK. Loves Wolf 7.62 and never jams. And it's Norinco. Maybe I just got lucky. Of course I'd REALLY love to have an East German or Russian AK! A bit hard to find these days for a decent price.

they're marked made in russia but they have an mp prefix to the serial number and blued steel bayonets.I just got lucky on mine,it was in a crate of them at a gun show some years back and I just happened to know what I was looking at. ;)

I'd look real close at any sks that reports to be russian,if you see mp it's actually german.it's the most accurate of all the sks rifles I've shot,but beware!the gas system and chamber are not chromed!just the bore,so avoid the shit ammo or save it for a gook gun. :)

I remember the ones which were clearly reconditioned, with nice varnished stocks, some sort of black finish, and phosphate blade bayonets. remember when they were 150. imported as curios and relics, like the yugos are now. alongside the chink sks, they were mighty fine.
a chink sks inspires about as much joy in me as a slope slot. as in, NADA. Nyet on Chink SKS. They are made by slaves. The Simonov carbine was designed and made by proud Slavs, not slaves.

A nigger took you because you went for its eye instead for its throat.
Here's an idiotic past post of yours, hypocrite:
Jews marry Whites in order to blend in to their surroundings
Very amusing. I suppose, using your reasoning, Lenny Kravitz was created, because his father was invited over to Nelson Mandela’s hut, therefore sex took place with Lenny’s mother for that reason.

No offense there but hes kind of right. I dont know if English is your first language or not or if all those other usernames which kind of remind me of you- Nick Nolte/Der Fuhrer/Turk Hunter/ etc. What I mean is, sometimes your posts are kind of hard to understand and sometimes you just post some really weird stuff that doesn't really make sense one way or another. But hey if English isn't your first language then I can understand that. Then again, English isn't my first language LOL.

He knows damn well what I’m writing about. I don’t have the time to backtrack on 400 something posts to confront AE with. He actually posted this somewhere and I use situations like this as a trump card when, as in this case, someone who has never posted anything humurous decides to play troll out here, not knowing how to. What pisses me off is that this troll never answers serious posts, although pretending to challenge serious debate. This person is self-important and wants to dictate to others what he prefers that they post and what they shouldn’t just because he donates whatever amount to VNN. Hadding isn’t even that divorced from reality. Nobody tells this guy to shut up and it’s even been too long since the other Kike troll has farted a wet one into his mouth, let alone now and then for gööd measure.

I'll explain the purpose for the other personalities on another thread.
I use 2 languages on this forum. As they say, when learning a 2nd language, some of the 1st gets lost, especially when even more are learned in addition. More languages usually means not being gööd at any. Nick Nolte made the F…. up of accidentally answering the wrong post, causing some confusion.
Now for your avatar. It reminds me of what I saw in a documentary here. It was about Huskeys. One of them was rescued from a Turkish dog kennel, brought to Germany, cleaned up and vaccinated. During the medical check-up, the veterenarians found about 10 rubbers which got lost in the canine’s pussy proving animal abuse through bestiality. It was generous of the sub-Humans for wearing the condoms to prevent polluting the husky’s race thru unwanted pregnancy. Couldn’t find the report, after backtracking the story thru the net. It’s gööd that Germany’s full with this cesspool of humanity. Not only are women endangered at night, but the dogs too.

OK, you are getting funny now. You're fucking with me-- you almost had me for a minute. I thought maybe you were schizo for a minute, telling me you're going to "get even--" and then I went back and read the post you're refering to. Here it is:

In the US, I've spooked many a spook with this music, deep voices German lyrics laid over techno. They squint their eyes like they're trying to figure out wtf the guy is saying.
Art is never entirely genuine, nor entirely false. Art is man-made, it is artifice, it is artificial. What matters less than what they mean, is how it makes you the listener feel.
It's like communion. It doesnt matter if the priest believes, so long as he says the right magic words.

I don't have the CD, but I know which song u mean. If we can arrange a time where I can download the CD onto my computer, I'll even translate the entire CD. I have "Gozilla" software for that, but I've been told that it isn't a good idea to use it. [quote]
-----------------------------
The last paragraph is the only thing Lampshade has addressed to me anywhere. I'm sorry I'm such an arrogant jerk that I dont have my commo features activated but excuse me if I dont want to lose track of my words. So you kindly offered to translate the Sennsucht CD for me. I thank you Lampshade for your kind offer. However, I will respectfully decline, as I have lost that CD and really you shouldnt trouble yourself. However, I would love to read more translations of German lyrics here, as I have a few other cds auf deutsch such as by Landser and not a little bit of Wagner, and I'm trying to gradually build my German vocabulary.
As to your words about me, indeed I am a self important asshole as my wife is always telling me. I am convinced. But I am not HAC nor am I a troll or Jew.
If you have other posts you feel I havent answered and should, please link them in the same fashion as your earlier post.
Finally, as for you "getting even," again, you're pulling my chain and I wont bite. I know I'm paranoid but that's only because people are out to get me!
