Well this could be the reason. Took the type 53 out for the first time today sent 100 rounds down range

Just picked up my second SKS last night

Really just my bore light and a method of purchasing anything within my budget

Just got my stripper clips in. 11 out of the 20 simply would not feed. 5 would feed quite well and 4 would feed but not let the bolt go foreword? Don't know if that was my fault or what

I ended up buying a 20 pack of the cheep ones off of amazon. I don't have my hopes up very high Good enough for a display item, not so good for real use. That's what I thought when buying them but for $7 shipped I figured I would give it a shot. Then there is the logic that my rifle is Chinese and ...

Someone had one for sale locally for $100. I should have bought it

And to boot my dad is getting into trap shooting again. Maybe I can get something from him . Oh to feel like a kid again.

My trigger finger is feeling really itchy

For years growing up she didn't want me near guns or learning gun saftey. I use to go camping with my one friend and learned shooting there. Then once I went to camp seagull I really started to get into shooting. From there it progressed. Now out of the blue about two years ago all of a sudden my mo...

So I have been doing some research and stumbled on this: Type 56 carbines with serial numbers below 9,000,000 have the Russian-style blade-type folding bayonet, while those 9,000,000 and higher have a "spike" type folding bayonet. Mine is 8 mil for the number so am I to ASSume that mine sh...

I was wondering why the spike sat so low plus to me it looks as if the stock and upper hand guard are two different colors. I really wish my mom would have just shipped it out my way to my ffl place. She wanted to save money. Now it's costing me a lot more to drive out there as it would have to ship...

I would spend a day just collecting all the brass there.

So my mom asked what I wanted for Christmas and recently she has gotten into guns I said I wanted a gun for Christmas. Surprisingly she said yes. Now my wife had gotten me a type 53 for Christmas and now my mom picked up a Chinese SKS dated 1964 by serial number. According to her it's all numbers ma...

Got my ammo a day early today. Couldn't be happier with Fred at military shooters

I ordered a can from military shooters. Haven't gotten it yet but I ordered late on Friday. Got an email from them the day saying it will be shipped out on Monday being so late in the day. Monday came and I got a tracking number. Was $107 out the door Fred's a good guy to deal with. He's up in Wisc...

Next time I dig it out I'll take pictures of what it's doing

Yeah I would never live in Cleveland. It's bad enough when I go back to Pittsburgh to visit me family we have to go to Ohio state game watches with my stepdad

We really do believe it to be a bring back and not purchased here. We found it with all the war stuff including a walther p38 which was my grandfathers bring back.

Hey my father in law got me the same cleaning kit for Christmas!
