The best thing about an SKS is you can afford to buy enough to hand out to the neighbors if the SHTF I have 3 just for that reason.

They are bulky and prone to slamfires and arent the accuratest thing around but at 100 a pop and cheap to feed, everyone should have at least 2 L0L.

I've read about the slamfire problem...although we've NEVER had ours do this...and we've had them HOT before too! Also...with the "right" ammo, we've gotten MOA accuracy out of them at 200 yards!

I'm with you...everybody should have TWO and a stockpile of ammo!

They usually slamfire due to being dirty. Since the firing pin is a floating inertia system there is no firing pin spring to retract the pin.

But you gotta really neglect the weapon to have this occur.

You mentioned that Yugo sks's have poor sights but were can you find a fully milled weapon with trintium night sights and a grenade launcher and Bayonet for 100 L0L

I know the trintium is spent but it still works on mine in low light levels.

I vote the Yugo SKS the best surplus rifle value on the market.
For Pistol Value its Star BM maybe makarov. There is no reason not to have a few ea (for your Freinds and neighbors) L0L

Molon Labe!
