The official police report is contradictory about what kind of gun it was...its says a "Saiga SKS"....of which there is no such thing.
Saiga, a Russian company, makes a hunting version of the (semi-auto) AK47. Looks just like a typical hunting rifle, except takes a special clip.
SKS rifles--a WWII design--were Commie military issue guns and haven't been made in many years.
The gun is EITHER an SKS or a Saiga.... yet before its confirmed what it is, the gun grabbers are already blabbers.
Figures.
I have a NORINCO SKS made in 1992.
It is the #1 "police killer" because it was cheap and there are a million accessories made for it.
Paid $79.00 for it in a store, added a $39 fiberglass stock,had it professionally bedded, added a handful of 9 & 30 round clips, buy ammo for it by the case (Russian and Czech), put a decent scope on it.
Fun Gun.
