Shooting and discussion of the SKS. This one happens to be the Russian Model SKS...
SKSs are nice rifles I think I have 10 now. I perfer AKM variants or HK91 variants for distance.
I paid $59 for mine at a gun show.
“Simonov didnt make it full auto, but if you let the firing pin get real dirty it will slam fire like a full auto.”
I’ve heard of that, too.
I heard you can get a firing pin specially redesigned to prevent that. Know anything about that?
Here is the site to get replacement firing pins that are safer and US made.
