The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I have four SKS rifles, two Chinese and two Russian pieces. I shoot the two Chinese pieces more than the Russian pieces but both are quite accurate and are a pleasure to burn powder with. If push ever comes to shove in my little corner of the world, I believe I'd grab a SKS first and head for my defensive position. One hundred (100) rounds of 7.62x39mm on stripper clips for the SKS can be carried in my Chinese chest packets much easier than 100 rounds in magazines for an AK 47 rifle. The SKS would allow a much lower profile to fire from than a 24 round magazine sticking out the bottom of an AK47. Just a couple of my thoughts on the two weapons systems.

I also prefer the SKS over the semi-auto AK.

I find, in general, better accuracy in my SKSs than my AKs.

Biggest piece of shit I ever ended up with was this abortion of an SKS that had been shortened to "para" size and had the AK mag butchered into it. First round fired the mag fell out and bullseyed my foot. Second round did the same, there was no third round. I got that one as part of an entire collection I bought out. My regular SKS rifles work just fine. I think Century made these cut down AK mag rifles, but it could have been Norinco back before 1992. They chopped up a Chinese military SKS to make that, a real shame.

SKS is defiantly superior for hitting a target.

Man, that sounds exactly like the democrats in 2024 !!! Next thing you know Biden and his bunch (if allowed) will copy everything done from 1933 to 1945.
