[QUOTE="Quick_Draw_McGraw, post: 1007852, member: 3286"] I own one and I can tell that it is a lot of fun to shoot. However, I wouldn't call it the perfect blending of the two weapons. The SKS just doesn't have the indestructible nature that the AK does. Your still going to have to deal with the floating firing pin issue that plagues all SKS guns, and the improved accuracy comes with higher tolerances, which takes away from the sloppy run forever tolerances of the AK. While it has the potential to be slightly more accurate, your still going to have to deal with the fact that your most likely running lower grade Russian ammo through it, and even with a gun that features tighter tolerances and better design your not going to overcome the shortcoming of the round. Also most SKS-D guns are PICKY about the mags they will take. Most won't feed euro mags reliably. Your going to need to find a nice stockpile of Chinnese AK mags which are going to run an extra $10 - $20 more per mag. So yes, it's a great gun, and I would buy one long before buying a standard SKS, but it's not a replacement for the AK, it's just another good rifle chambered in 7.62x39. [/QUOTE]
