A lot of 311 bore guns will shoot 308 bullets just fine. It's always worth a try...Interesting. My x39 AR needs .311 bullets. I thought only the Mini-30 was chambered in .308
If they had an SKS, they will live longer - and have more fun.How many are dying every year?
Not everyone born will want an AR.
I see them for sale priced at entry level AR-15 levels
So I wonder: what motivates the purchase - not bashing the SKS, just wondering
OK....going back to the original question, yes, I bought a Chinese SKS a little over 2 years ago from Atlantic firearms. It was a hot mess, absolutely crammed full of 3/4 lb., by actual weight, of grease.
Clean up was a nightmare, but worth it. I also had to refinish the stock. Probably the best thing I ever did was replace the front sight with an aftermarket example-
I regulated the sights and have so far only shot out to 200 yds., but the rifle is very reasonably accurate at that range-
I have dozens of rifles but this is hands down one of my favorites.

Where are you finding SKS Carbines for under $400 these days? A entry level AR is now a $350 PSA special.I see them for sale priced at entry level AR-15 levels

Norinco is state-owned
You made the right choice.Way back in the day I asked on here if I should buy an SKS or a Garand, because if you take the political associations out of it they are kind of similar guns. Both neat old .30 cal semi auto milsurps that could be fun to shoot on a Saturday morning but aren’t optimal for hunting or combat, being clip loaded. I got a lot of flak because saying “history aside” when asking about a Garand is like saying “history aside, were the moon landings a big deal?”
I ended up getting both. Decided to go for the Garand then decided I’d be a fool to pass up the cheaper gun first. Glad I went for the SKS.
Well, sort of. There are businesses that are owned by the central government and some that are operated by the provinces, but there are also some that are privately owned as well. China Bohai Bank is province operated. Alibaba is privately owned. Norinco is owned by the central government.A fact that people may not realize, all businesses in China are state owned.
Truth be told, we're in much the same situation in the U.S. If you can't carry it with you, you don't really own it. The state charges "rent" to the people they allow to live on their properties in the form of property taxes. The "rent" is generally pretty reasonable, but make no mistake, if you fail to pay it, the government will evict you.There’s no such thing as private property in the PRC.
Even foreign companies with entities doing business in china aren’t allowed to own the property or buildings that they operate from.
