I inherited an SKS, but don't know much about them.

So I just became the new owner of what appears to be a Norinco SKS. now other than how to shoot them I don't know much about SKSs. I'm told it was bought new, and hasn't been shot much. I'll try to download a manual for it when i get a chance and do the obligatory field strip, and get to know the rifle. Did i get a hold of something good? Any info about this particular rifle would be appreciated.

You have got one great little rifle. Like it's big brother the AK, the SKS is peasant proof. It shoots the abundantly available 7.62 x 39 cartridge, is suitable for medium sized game like whitetail deer and hogs and it will defend your home and loved ones against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Get a manual, learn how it works and shoot the crap out of it. Love your SKS.

Resist the urge to try and make the rifle something it's not.

Totally agree. Check out surplusrifle.com for teardown intructions (real easy to do). Beautiful rifle & nice score

Thanks all. yeah i'll stick to my ARs for all the "high speed" gear. i'll just keep this one stock and have fun with it, i've heard bad things about the detachable magazine upgrades anyway. it seems to be in really good shape. fortunately ammo is cheap for it so it should get a nice little workout on my next day off.

The only thing I would do to that thing is put a bayonet on it. The Chinese Spike bayonets are all over ebay for $10-$15.
