Nice article. Only commie rifle I have is a Nugget. Fun to shoot. Kicks like something that kicks really hard.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

subsequent shots relocate your shoulder dislodged by the first shot

lol

Here are some mods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDLIBT1zGFU

Some people feel this ruins the rifle, i happen to like the look of this one in particular, and its objectively more practical.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

that rear sight right there

exactly what im talking about

good luck holding zero

sling mount looks good

one thing definitely true about the yugoslavian rifles in particular

theyre heavier than any of the others

heavier wood and added components will do that lol

ExpertShitposter ago

good luck holding zero

Why? He didn't mount it to the dust cover.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

what is it mounted to

its just going through the retaining pin hole with a single attachment

im highly suspicious of it

ExpertShitposter ago

Oh, i thought he tapped it.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thatd definitely be a lot better

I have a super grade made in Tula that I decided to just leave in the grease and never shoot it. If shit doesn't hit the fan it'll be worth a ton one day I figure. I also have a chinese made sks, which I have gone ahead and made it tactical by putting on a better stock and a few other upgrades. I shoot this gun the most often just because it's cheap to shoot and still a big gun. Sure it's cheaper to shoot a .22 but it's nowhere near as fun as shooting my sks. Thanks for the info, the only thing I really knew about sks rifles was that the Tula factory ones are supposedly the best.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

russian rifles are beautiful

but a lot of chinese rifles are high quality too

a lot of countries made them and each is a little different

but theyre all super fun to shoot

freedumbz ago

Sks was first rifle I bought myself. I still have it. I like it. Good post btw I look forward to moar

clamhurt_legbeard ago

heck ya me too

itll keep running forever

I will leave this here: Shooting an SKS

clamhurt_legbeard ago

its seriously fun

jump but not a heavy kick

not snappy

super fun

Nadeshda ago

I am going to have to try one out... have to put my thinking cap on how, pretty rare and the price you said was high right?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

not super rare

but i got while the gettin was good

looks like 500-600

they could show up in a local gun store easily tho

6gorillion ago

Wow you Americans are getting ripped off on the sks's! My Tula one I got as a Christmas deal at cabelas it was $500 for the gun with a crate of 1500 rounds of the corrosive ammo. My Chinese one I bought from a friend for $200 and then spent another $400 on crap for it lol. Even right now cabelas has the Chinese ones for $229 Canadian. https://www.cabelas.ca/product/110383/chinese-sks-semi-auto-rifle-w-hardwood-stock

clamhurt_legbeard ago

mine was 150 american

excellent condition lol

i dont recommend comparing deals with me

ive scored hard over and over lol

stay tuned next month for an even cheaper set i got lol

DasReich ago

Great synopsis, except for two things.

kurz is how you say short in nazi.

"Kurz is how you say short in German."

these were pretty effective at murdering soviets.

"these were pretty effective at culling Soviets."

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol cry more

you look like the kind of guy who uses punctuation

Nadeshda ago

I just love the compartment in the butt to store the cleaning kit, too cool! The flexible bayonet just wow! Are these pictures of your SKS?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

no i actually dont have mine with me

mine is yugoslavian

looks kinda like this

the yugoslavians did a lot of changes

see yugoslavia was communist

but not super close to the soviet union

they saw what had already happened to hungary and poland

so they kept their distance

and the soviets didnt even give them the ak for a long time

so the yugos took the basic sks design in 1959

and then in 1966 they added a grenade launcher up front to shoot 22mm nato standard rifle grenades

then they put a gas cutoff to use the grenades

a folding grenade sight up front

that yellow dot is a sun charging glow in the dark sight

and it has a thick rubber buttpad

heres what it looks like when you use the grenade launcher

Nadeshda ago

Lol, that is too cool, that grenade is sweet! Oh boy his giggles in the end of that, what fun!

Definitely a sexy looking rifle there, wow! That old school wood and style, awesome aesthetics!!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

yugos know their

A E S T H E T I C S

Nadeshda ago

Sexy indeed!

Nadeshda ago

This must effect my credit score then!

Lol, what did you like most about the article?

lion4liberty ago

I did not read it. To much time on the chans and I am now triggered by reddit spacing.

Nadeshda ago

REEEEEE! Lol, it’s going to be okay! :)

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol are you serious

that there is a slippery slope towards capitalization

no thanks

thedirtypuma ago

Nice review.

These magezines get good reviews and go for 30 dollars online. I would try one out if I had a sks.

I didn't know about the cleaning supply tube in the stock. That's a very nice feature.

6gorillion ago

I have 3 of those magazines, they are all unfortunately pinned to 5 rounds because I live in Canada though.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ya it holds the cleaning kit

brush

screwdriver

crown protector

handle

jag

punch

and the cleaning rod goes under the barrel

locked in by the bayonet

everything should have this

Nadeshda ago

Geez this really is useful and I agree all should have this feature!

Redditsdead ago

I've got an original Tula. Love it. Would never dress it up to look all tactical. I hate that shit when done to an old gun. Maybe if I had a norinco.

2 notes, most surplus ammo for it is corrosive, so clean it regularly. Also, the butt stock is short on purpose and no, it's not because Russians have short arms. It's made for the giant winter coats they wore.

6gorillion ago

I'm with you, I left the Tula in the cosmoline and tactical'd up my chinese sks.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

oh good point about corrosive ammo

maybe im about to start a fight

but guys just use lots of water

anybody who tells you to use ammonia didnt look up the chemistry

hose it off

Redditsdead ago

I just clean it like I would any other gun. To each their own.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

its all good

thats what the commies did

This is awesome and I genuinely learnt stuff I did not know... too cool!

@thebuddha, @Expertshitposter @MyDearWatson @EyeoftheChampion @battlefat

Get in here this is some interesting stuff going on!

TheBuddha ago

LOL I was sleeping.

Nadeshda ago

Well hello you! How you doing?

TheBuddha ago

Much the same. You?

Nadeshda ago

Not too shabby Sir! :)

TheBuddha ago

Excellent!

I'm in good spirits, though that's pretty normal for me. I'll probably be cracking jokes on my deathbed and telling people to not worry 'bout it and trying to get them to stop their crying and shit.

Nadeshda ago

You are not dying, lol having mono too will pass and yes the good Spirits indeed are worth pursuing :)

I think your attitude towards it is sometimes melodramatic but sooo funny and is certainly fun to read about, but I am concerned you are not receiving optimal care, you are not a speing chicken you know...

TheBuddha ago

Wrong!

I am too dying!

Just not from mono! ;-)

I am sore as hell today, but my throat is actually less sore than yesterday. I still have no energy. I sat up long enough to write an article and then got prone right afterwards. It sucks, because I'm used to being pretty energetic.

I can deal with the pain, I've got opiates. My daughter says my spleen is a bit more swollen today, but not even remotely dangerously so. It feels like what I picture a heart attack feels like - except I don't know, 'cause I've never had a heart attack. They're kinda in the same area, so it applies pressure to the lung and heart on the left side.

It's the damned lack of energy that gets to me. It's even hard to concentrate.

That part is something I'm not used to. That's the part that really sucks. Pain? I'll get over that. Having no energy? This is wasted time. It's time when I can't even really be productive in much of any capacity.

Man, I'm going to be a grumpy old man, if old age is like that.

Nadeshda ago

You will have to start living through the actions of others when you get older and use your vibrant personality to continue to motivate people to goodness. You getting old will be fine, you just have to shift gears that is all. You could always hire me as your PA, I look after really old people, all the time.

Noo problem... ;)

TheBuddha ago

I'll probably just do lots and lots of cocaine!

I'm gonna be a hit at the bingo hall!

Nadeshda ago

Lol... watch out those bingo ladies are serious and you could cause a riot...

TheBuddha ago

Oh, they are a group of ladies not to be trifled with. Man, I do now kinda want to see old ladies playing bingo on cocaine. I'm pretty sure that'd be the best day ever!

Nadeshda ago

I have a game scheduled for 3:30 on Friday, get yer arse over here, lol :)

TheBuddha ago

?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ya

i could go on for a while like this lol

Nadeshda ago

Man I enjoyed the article a lot, I am so stoked about this... freagin too cool!!!!

We did another thing Clammy, we did! :D

Thank you!!!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

im glad youre so excited

rimfired ago

Nice overview, I was already familiar with the SKS but read through anyway-- this was quite entertaining and taught me a few interesting facts I didn't know about it. I like your stance on modifications, I feel the same about my Mosin Nagant-- Bubba nooooo! Speaking of the Mosin, it's another great Soviet rifle. I can get about a 1" group at 50 yards with irons if I focus and it's just too much fun. Maybe if I sell my 30/30 I'll get an SKS... it seems redundant to have two intermediate .30 caliber cartridge carbines.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dont tell anybody

but

the mosin might be next months topic lol

i have a friend who keeps mentioning pig hunting

my m38 might need to get me some bacon

Battlefat ago

For my first commie rifle, make mine an SKS. Well done, clammy

clamhurt_legbeard ago

damn straight

me too

but i got lots more commie guns after lol

they will have their turns

Rellik88 ago

Had a Norinco SKS paratrooper which had a shorter barrel. Fun gun to shoot.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

yesssssss

same bombproof design but a little bit shorter and lighter

the so-called paratrooper was made for the american commercial market

never used by any military

but still an excellent gun

imma little jealous

i dont have any chinese weapons

Rellik88 ago

I would still have it but I traded it for a Henry repeating rifle.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude

never get rid of guns

there is only one single gun i dont own anymore

and it was stolen

Rellik88 ago

Well. Heres the story. Of my backpage gun trades. So I started with a Ruger P95. Loved it but wanted a rifle. Traded that $350 gun for the SKS worth about $400. Had it shot it for a year or two. Then traded it for a brand new Henry Repeating Rifle in 45-70. Fucking nice gun. Then I traded that to a Henry collector for a Sig 1911 worth $1000. So in a bout 5 years. I spent $350 and ended up with a $1000 1911. Worth it. :)

clamhurt_legbeard ago

hahaha

not too bad

.45-70 is a great cartridge

leaves holes the size of your thumb lol
