i picked up a SKS rifle a couple days ago. for the price +1400 rounds of surplus ammo it was a hard deal to pass up.the ammo was canned when Hitler was still causing problems and before my dad was born. it was fresh off the line in 1943 LOL
the rifle it's self is in great shape and has a pretty nice stock. never issued, silver bolt, chrome lined barrel, yadda yadda yadda
before anybody says anything, i know full well it's no AR/m16 or even a AK. but i don't have that time/cash to get my licence for the AR and AK's are a no go up here. so i figure the SKS is good enough to be a fun shooter and maybe cap a couple yodas if i'm lucky
not a bad looking hunk of Russian plywood
took it to the range today and this is the result. not the best but not the worst.
50 yards, a alright grouping even if it is a little high and to the left
100 yards. not too bad for open sights
more range time and dinking around is in order. maybe even an el-chepo scope if it shoots well enough
