I loved my norinco sks. Especially after modding the bolt. Long barrel though, I wouldn't mind a paratrooper model if I were to get another.

They are good, cheap fun. The ejection is very violent. I broke a few overhead lights before. I was just laughing.Be unique, like every other person.

My Lee Enfield .303 No4 MK1*/3 has a short barrel on it as it was built in Long Branch Canada in 1943 but given the MK3 revision in 1951. I really like my Lee Enfield over others, even the carbine (No5 I think) because of it's short length.

I'll look out for that ejection. Sounds kinda neat.

What ammo did/do you all run in 7.62x39? I want to get about 2000rds on hand. A couple 1000rd bulk packs would be what I'm most interested in. I've bought 7.62x54 for a Mosin I had but never x39. I was looking at this: http://www.sgammo.com/product/surplu...nd-primer-lacq
I've done quite a bit of reading and from what I've read SKS's don't seem to be to picky.

They're not picky at all, just like an ak, it's going to run whatever you put in it.
I usually shoot Tula ammo but if you're going for accuracy, I'd go for something like silver bear. Tula is good ammo but their powder loads are inconsistent.
The link you posted there is good ammo, made at the Barnaul factory like silver bear. It would be very similar to wolf brand ammo.
But you can probably get 1k rds of Tula around $200 I would think. I'd check cheaperthandirt, and add it up. Sometimes it's cheaper to get a couple 100rd boxes vs. the 1k pack.Last edited by bassrock234; 12-30-2015, 01:13 AM.
I wish I could trade my heart for an extra liver, just so I can drink more and care less.

golden tiger is good also. Make sure you get some stripper clips to make loading easier. I bought some spam can corrosive stuff that came loaded in clips for the clips.

That's awesome. What I expected but good to hear it from those with first hand experience.
I've bought from CTD a bit with no complaints. I'll check with them before I commit to buy anything ammo wise.

In Verona MO at an Amish ran auction about a year ago there was a Russian SKS that went for $550 as I recall. I really wanted it but was saving money for what I would soon thereafter spend on the 1993 EX sedan that I own. So it's like eh... Still wish I could have somehow picked up the SKS though.

I just bought 1000rds of .22LR from SGAmmo.com. Pricey but I needed .22lr for my Remington 582. Got the scope on it and the new stock will be on it sometime here soon. http://www.sgammo.com/product/22-lr-...s-made-germanyLast edited by H311RA151N; 01-04-2016, 02:42 AM.

Nice! Wish mine had the bayonet on it. That Cosmo is nasty stuff! Once you shoot it and it gets nice and hot it'll boil out of the wood hahaha.
I think I have some stripper clips left over from mine if you want them.

I have a military surplus firearm addiction. Since I've went through the purchase ordeal once now I've got my eye on a couple other firearms J&G has. A Romanian Tokarev is next on my list and a Kel Tec KSG after that. KSG I will have to save up a bit for and not military surplus of course.
I'll hit you up regarding the stripper clips via PM when I get paid again the 25th. If that's ok. I appreciate you letting me know. I'd be more than glad to put them to use.
