Not to turn this into AR vs AK again, sorry.
I have both and love both

Hey, whatever. At least when it does happen, you wont be "as" surprised.I've shot thousands of rounds through my AR and others, and I had never had this happen. I'm sure it has happened, but nobody I know who owns ARs has had this happen
The humble SKS rifle might deserve a second look with the threat of assault weapons bans ever looming. These rifles feed from a 10 round fixed magazine which has been acceptable in most proposed bans for years. Look, it’s a worst case scenario idea but IF a ban does get passed (I hope it never does) the old SKS might be worth dusting off and pushing into service for the purposes of defending freedom.

They can be topped off fairly quickly using a 10 round stripper clip:

And they use the common and widely available .30 caliber Russian Short:

With the recent mass shootings and the powers that be in charge, we are closer to a ban than ever before. The SKS might be a decent bet.
it conforms the Un-Constitutional Democrat National Socialist Tyranny.
Not anymore, the SKS is named in every "assault rifle" ban these days

I think a ton of people are absolutely missing the point of the thread.
This isn’t SKS vs AK or AR, but just a notice that an SKS might be one of the better defensive rifle options in a worse case scenario SHOULD a ban ultimately pass. Many older members (me included) own one or more of them and they are gathering dust. Just might be worth dusting them off soon.
