sks

The seller had no info on what happened to the front sight but there is a grove that looks like where it would sit but there is also another deep almost dremel like cut further up the barrel. I have no previous experience with SKS's yet alone repair but its a Norinco. I had hopes on fixing it...

I think I prefer the SKS, it shoots a lighter round, magazine is already attached to the rifle and so is the bayonet. It's a breeze to clean 7.62X39 is easier to shoot than 7.62x51. And SKS's are almost always cheaper than M1As. If i could I would put a scope on my SKS

Merry Christmas THR, Quick question. I’m headed to CO soon with the family and we’ll be trekking through some country just to be out in some beautiful nature. I won’t be hunting but wanted to keep a rifle handy just in case we run into anything unexpected. Will my SKS be adequate? It’s the...

Just won a Chinese SKS on an online auction. It came with a scope mount and scope which I have already ordered a new receiver top cover. I have taken it all apart and everything is matching. I will post pictures of the factory code and serial number if anyone could help with year of production...

Hello everyone, So I've had a Mosin Nagant m91/30 for a while, and I have an AK that I picked up a few years back, and I just got an SKS. I love all three of em'... However, I really don't care for the rear sight on any of them for two main reasons: 1. They are hard to see. Even though I have...

Has anyone bought one of them? If so, what are your thoughts? They've got a real tempting price tag...

So, I have a big problem. I pulled my SKS out of storage a couple of days ago and found the barrel severely corroded. I blasted whatever crap would come out with compressed air and soaked it heavily in Ballistol. Then I scrubbed it several times with a Ballistol soaked wire brush and ran patches...

So, I have some 160 grain .308 diameter bullets intended for reloading 30-30 but I don't actually have a .30-30. However, I do have an SKS. Would it be safe to load my 7.62x39 brass with these bullets assuming I can find load data for a bullet that heavy? I know it may not be ideal, but I really...

Hello all, I've been kicking around the idea of taking an SKS and rebarreling it to 22-250, adding a swept back bolt handle, making a new stock, losing the gas system and running it as a straight pull. I know that I'd need a new barrel, trigger job, solid side mounted scope rail, and to open up...

I have a Screw in Yugo sks barrel. Would this fit a screw in Chinese sks?

I just purchased A Romanian sks and was wondering about the prefix. The prefix it has is "GM" . The only thing I have been able to find is that "GM" is one of the prefix's they used in 1959. Does anyone know if it indicates anything else about the rifle? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I new at this, just bought my first rifle. Decided to go with an sks as I heard for the price they are an excellent buy. I got a 1954 Russian model at Canadian Tire, never fired, non-refurbished, I took it apart, cleaned up all the cosmoline, fully restored the stock to a...

I am more than a little peeved by this to say in the least. Started a post last night on it but I thought I had it fixed. I have a 1954 Tula sks All numbers matching except for the standard mag. It. WIll. Not. Stay. In! Every time I open up the bottom to let rounds out of the loaded rifle the...

OK so I have struggled with this friggin thing for an hour now. It's a russian 1954 tula laminate stock SKS. Whenever I go to empty loaded rounds out of the mag the whole damn assembly falls out on me. I know you rock the assembly into place with the trigger group out, then slide the pin on the...

some of you may have read some of my recent posts (new member, hi guys!). I have narrowed down what I'd like for my first semi auto rifle to two. I am looking at either a chinese type 56 SKS from classicarms or AIM surplus for around $320. Cosmetically they're crap but mechanically quite good...

I’m reading The Gun by C. J. Chivers, a book about the history of automatic weaponry in war, and focusing specifically on the historical impact of the AK-47. It’s an excellent book, but (understandably) it doesn’t go into very many technical details; it’s obviously written for a general audience...
