I saw a guy on Fox hold up a picture of three guns he said were common in .223. Of course it had the ar-15, and the Mini-14, but it also had an SKS. I've never seen the SKS in anything but 7.62X39, so I know it's not common. Is there such a thing?

"but it also had an SKS"

As far as I know, (and I may be wrong) the SKS was NEVER produced in a 223, 7.62*39 only. The AK-74 was produced in a 223 variant however.

I've never heard of an SKS in .223 either. I also got a kick out of the 'sample' firearms they commonly show on TV. They never show the simple bolt action varmint rifle in .223 (which would be more inclined to better accuracy) or the various single shot rifles and pistols that use the round. This guy is only making shots of 100-150 yards. Any of these could easily do that.

I don't see any reference to AK in .223 (5.56mm) and I have never seen one.
