Ozzy Fudd Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) i havnt got the hunting pics scanned yet so dont want to post the write up about the wild boar yet, but i got the ones of the sks,so thought why not! cool, i got an sks! wow, its got a pointy bit!! am i holding this gun thingy right?? :o the pics were taken at the bottom of the gf's parents garden; thats the lake where i went ice fishing right behind me, think you can see people out on it. my suggestion of using them as target practice didnt go down well... :lol: suppose id better give a quick note; that gun was a dream to shoot! not too much recoil, a bit of muzzle flip but again not too bad. the iron sights were a bit of a pain to get the angle right to see them the first few times, same for the optics that sergei fitted for me at one point, had a big rubber eye piece that felt awkward on my eye, but hey, its a 7.62 semi auto rifle with a bayonet, so i aint complaining! if you ever get a chance to take a shot from one go for it. ps as mush as im a synthetic man, the wood on it was quite nice too Edited January 14, 2009 by babbyc1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See ur only using a 10 round clip, dont they use the 30 rounders 30 rounders are illegal there.... so could only take a pic of the 10 rounder i put an edit in the main post about shooting mate, but i have to say it was pretty acurate, sergei got hit a running boar at 100m with iron sights... :o sweetI assume the bayonet is for dispatch then? no, most of the guys grind the lug off, but sergei decided to leave it on - pretty cool i thought! didnt ask if hed ever used it, mainly owing to the fact im sleeping with his little sister and didnt want to find out if it worked...

AlphaBravo Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Nice! I was thinking about buying a sks when i move to canada, there only about $180 and then you can get all the after market stocks for them Plus the ammo is quite cheap... (Only downside is that its a 5 rnd mag max...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Only downside is that its a 5 rnd mag max...) in latvia they cost about £100 second hand if this turns into a long term thing think ill be looking into buying myself one and getting sergei to keep it on his ticket for me, ill probably be heading over twice a year now - once in winter (wild boar) and once in summer (ducks). eh, i mean, winter for xmas and august for her mums bday....

Neels Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Brings back memories - used an SKS many years ago BigThug, the SKS is less of a beast that the .308 (NATO 7.62 x 54)at least from a recoil and effect point of view, as it uses the same round as an AK47 (7.62 x39) . However...... still great fun to shoot The SKS's I used all only had attached 10 rnd mags, with a hinge at the front that allowed you to quickly empty a full magazine, though I preferred emptying a magazine the proper way :o . We loaded it by using charger strips fitting to the top of the receiver in a similar fashion to the old Lee Enfields (which is another story ) Babbyc, looked like you had fun - envy you the chance of having a go on a bit of history - looks in good nick though Cheers Neels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeinVA Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I think wvwrylad needs a 30 round semi-auto Military issue combar rifle Many would disagree.. I have a Yugo SKS and love the thing.. My son likes to burn through rounds quickly, and that little ****** put 200 round through a 10" Pine tree.. Sounded like bloody Bosnia all over again Then it started to rain and that damn barrel started to sizzle and pop.. I was worried about the rifling, but if you hadnt noticed they are very heavy.. Tomorrow i will try to post some pictures of my "man Cave" A place where you blokes could appreciate :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
