Pre-ban sks

Of course we demand pics!

They always work.

Ma, Nef is a walking encyclopedia on those things

Geeze... about time this place got a little class.

I had to look up the term "pre-ban SKS". By default, all SKS rifles in the US are "pre-ban". It was a ban on the import of those rifles, not the rifle itself.

zactly. the perfect rifle for a midget.

SKS is on my list...sadly I've had no 7.62/39 since Nef conned me out of my Norinco..sniff

Manlet machinery.

Non phat phuker gun...

I like em...

I guess it was their answer to the M1

There was a dude in Texas who did phenomenal trigger jobs on them... Allen TX I think...

noticed something... the original Russian version type and the later Chinese as well as others will NOT interchange parts!

The Russian trinity, Mosin Nagant, SKS, and AK. Only the Mosin's are Russin made. SKS is chicom but one of the best ones built , and well the AK is from PSA.

really? hmmm... I have seen from time to time an sks here and their with all Russian markings...

and date stamps that make them pretty much... war era or just after curios...

if you take one and compare it side by side with the others you will see major differences...

Don't think the SKS was really an answer to anything really... just an inexpensive way to get reliable weapons into as many untrained hands as possible. The stripper clip idea was fine for such a semi auto gun and they didn't have to provide a lot of expensive and heavy and easily damaged magazines.

When the M14 came out they generally issued em with one or two magazines and stripper clips of 5 rounds each.

SKS is the best way to get a bunch of newbs armed quick without breaking the bank.
