Attn: RUiner (finally got MY first gun)

[PSINXS]

its an SKS assault Rifle with a 30 round clip. shoots rounds similar to a 223. MY buddy sold it to me for 200 bux. HAs a side folding stock with it. JUst wondering is this a good gun? I knew i wanted an assault rifle but couldnt afford the ar-15 yet. so i got this to start off with. What are your takes on the SKS. I asked you since i know u have assault rifles in your posession.

LOL so true yet so wrong haha

pics when i get home

[malfeas99]

Looks like it might be a crapshoot.. do you know who manufactured it?

Appears as though there's Yugoslavian and Russian SKS's, and Norinco (Chinese) makes them too.

I'd hope for Russian, if I were you.

[PSINXS]

i'll post pics of it. maybe someone can tell

[malfeas99]

Here's some resources so you maybe can tell us. :)

An SKS is simply an AK47 knock off. It works very well for what it is. It may not have all the bells and whistles of a true AK, but you won't really notice those things unless you are a gun afficionado and are looking for something in particular.

It uses the same detachable clips as the AK, same ammo as most AK's (7.62x39), ammo is fairly cheap, and it's pretty much easy to dissassemble and clean. Do NOT use corrosive ammo, even if it's given to you for free. Ammo at gun shows has to be scrutinized a little sometimes because of that.

[PSINXS]

Its a chinese one by Norinco

[rolling_trip]

may have to buy a adapter to take larger mags, if it donest have one already. good gun though, pretty relieable. i used to have one, but sold it to upgrade to a Mak 90.

Um, if by 'AK-47 knock off' you mean 'was replaced by the AK-47', then yes, you're correct.

The AK was created after the SKS, and improved on it's design, which is why it became the predominant rifle. SKS was still cheaper to produce tho.

already got a 30 round mag

[RandomGuy]

whyd u get an SKS when an AK is only a hundred bux more.

[RandomGuy]

i think they make a 90 rnd drum for your SKS also.... shits are PIMP

[PSINXS]

whyd u get an SKS when an AK is only a hundred bux more.
because it was readily available. the guys i stay with had 2 of em. and they wanted to sell one. so i bought it. they got a vast collection so they wont miss it.

[rolling_trip]

cheaperthandirt.com is a good place to get mags and such

[PSINXS]

might want to not qutoe that

The SKS this gentleman is talking about is a NORINCO (chinese) SKS and not a Soviet SKS45 which as you pointed out came a few years before the AK47. The AK47 used the same gas operation and bolt action, but used a completely different receiver, detachable mag, and select fire mechanisms.

You and I, and maybe a couple of other people here, know that the AK47 was developed a few years after the SKS technically, but the vast majority of the "SKS" that remain around for general public are the Chinese models which are knock offs of the AK. This is why I was saying that it's probably a "knock off" because if he had bought an original SKS45, he would've known what he had and not asked for any advice.

You are correct, but I think you understand where I'm coming from. ;)

[quickdodge®]

I have a .380. That's all. Later, QD.

I don't know if this is rational, but everything Norinco makes scares the bejeesus out of me.

[Ruiner]

A. Stop saying "clip". Seriously, it is a magazine, not a clip.
B. It shoots rounds similar to a .223? 5.56 x 45mm? So it isn't shooting a 7.62x39mm?

Either way, it is a great weapon and will last for a long time. Congrats on your purchase.

[PSINXS]

sorry magazine. i was told the rounds were similar to a 223. but yes it is the 39mm rounds. and thnx for correcting me n the congrats. see why i asked u?

what truth? that i didnt know what rounds it shot? and i later corrected myself in the mag/clip thing. its my first assault rifle and i have had it for less than 24hrs. but i do remeber him telling about the 93mm rounds. if he has some when i go over tonite i will get some n take pics.

[4bangin]

I have 2 SKS. They're both on my shelf collecting dust until I can hang them on my wall for decoration. They're extemely cheap, fairly reliable and accurate guns, but I don't like them. You could have probaly found a SKS pretty easily for under $100 bucks. Congrates on the purchase, though. We all start somewhere :)

i'm pretty sure the sks was made before the ak and it is known to be one of the most reliable guns of the world infact many people like the sks over the ak and others due to it's toughness. i wish i had one but i also like my ak

[civicchic2000]

great another assault rifle owner..... what in the fuck do you need an assault rifle for?
That's exactly what I said! Freakin' people will never learn

[4bangin]

To regulate zombies when they attack, DUH.

Umm, you may need to read the entire thread before posting bud. You're a little late since that was settled about 5 hrs ago..... ;)

The same reason we NEED a convertible and to show our booty for.....because we can. :goodjob:

Wow... I think that may have been the first rep point I've ever given but DAMN that was funny to me lol.. +1

[KNHTRDR]

for some reason, I thought you would have something with a little more firepower.

[PSINXS]

he has an uzi as well i thought

[Ruiner]

Just to let you know, a .223 is nothing like a 7.62x39mm. I'll take a picture of my rounds at home if you would like. The .223 has a much smaller diameter.

The top one is the .223 and the center is the AK-47/SKS round.

Why do I need a 911 turbo when a Civic would get me there just as well?

she has her own personal reasons why she is against owning a gun.

[malfeas99]

she has her own personal reasons why she is against owning a gun.

Then she's welcome to... you know... not buy one.

[PSINXS]

^exactly. but she's not really gonna like those that do. i kinda understand where she's coming from a lil bit

[malfeas99]

^exactly. but she's not really gonna like those that do. i kinda understand where she's coming from a lil bit

Well, then she's also welcome to base her opinions of people on whether they own a firearm or not.

That doesn't mean that it's not.. well, kinda stupid, but that's fine.

There's no shortage of stupidity on the planet.

[Ruiner]

she has her own personal reasons why she is against owning a gun.

I'd like to know her reasoning. To make a statement like that and not give any other reason is a bit vague, don't you think?

[PSINXS]

her ex boyfriend murdered someone at party and got life for it.

[malfeas99]

her ex boyfriend murdered someone at party and got life for it.

I wonder why she blames the gun for it.

Had he done it with a toaster, would she have an abject fear of toaster ovens?

I can't imagine going through the rest of my life without eating nice, crispy-warm bagels. Oy vey!

[PSINXS]

^agreed. i think i told her one that guns dont kill ppl. ppl kill ppl.

[Kevykev]

I thought Bullets KILLED PEOPLE!!!

Holy Shit, I'm experiencing a paradigm Shift here!

[mocha latte cupcake]

lol! i kill ppl.....

[HEATON]

guns are awesome...the most powerful tool in the world!..if you have a gun you must be god...because you can control other people fate!

NO my son, EXPLOSIVES make you God.

[4bangin]

I have heard alot of really dumb reasons for people to disagree with others owning guns, but I think this is one of the worst. If her ex was killed, I could then understand what she is saying a little more, but WTF?!

[RandomGuy]

this thread just makes me want to yell

JIHAAAD

[Darling Nikki]

my dad bought a 45 this past weekend. he has now 9 guns and rifles. Crazy fucker.
