Holy crap, man - that's a non-refurb that someone took the bayonet off of - hell of a find! Which pawn shop had that one? I guess I need to check out the local pawn shops a little more often.....
Let's hope so. I didn't want to wait too long to find one. Probably could have searched for a better deal, but on average, they're not gonna go down in price.
SKS's are probably the best platform for the 7.62X39 cartridge. I've yet to see one that's not very accurate even with the iron sight's. The one I had before the one I have now I put a set of Tec-site's on her to improve her accuracy ( not that she shot fine without ). I won't be doing that with this one, as she shoot's very well with her own sight's. I won't be getting rid of this one!!
This one will definitely stay all original. Hope to get it out to the range soon to see how she does. I signed up for the vintage military rifle competition on 11/21 at Red Castle. My son will be shooting this one and I'll have my MN M39.
When I get the itch to bubba something, I have a Yugo SKS that is heavily modified (mostly by its previous owner). It pretty darn accurate.
