I will admit that I got "raped" on my last SKS purchase, but it's an unissued rifle that was so pristine I couldn't pass it up. The A-grade ones TD is selling may be worth what they're asking, but the D grade ones...I'd pass.

While Royal Tiger sucks, I guess someone has to say it: it's not 1994 any more, and there isn't a stack of new Norinco/Polytech SKSes on every other gun show table any more. Even the cheap imported Yugo 59/66 are basically gone now.

Ive had three SKS's over the years , two Yugos and a Norinco , all were decent shooters ....even had a Tapco-fooked mish-mash of Norinco junk....and IT was a great shooter...accurate , for an SKS .
But I never really felt anything for any of them .  I like AK's and liked traditional stocks like came on the SKS's . . . but I never really missed one after selling it . I miss one of the two Mosins I sold and the Savage Enfield , and really miss the Krag 30-40 . . . . even the ratty old Mausers ....but the SKS's , not so much  and I cant really say why . |

Before the imports dried up, the SKS was a reliable, semi-automatic rifle that was accurate enough, and fired a round ballistically similar to 30-30 for $100 or less. It also helped that ammo was dirt cheap, it was better made than an AK, and cost less than an AK.
Now? What's the point in having one when the price of steel-cased 7.62x39 is more or less the same as steel-cased .223? |

never understood the "like" for those things I collect them, bring backs mostly. It's not like any semi-auto AR your will ever own will have a wartime pedigree. Sorta makes ARs posers now doesn't it? The SKS is a robust weapon and they work very well in factory trim. I'd trust my life with any of the SKSs I own. ARs....Not so much. That said If you go Tapco fucking them then don't expect them to work right. If you want a milled Sino-Soviet SKS $300.00 is not a bad price. What is bad about the whole thing is Royal Tiger.

about 20 years ago a local shop had SKS's for something like $79.00... my friend at work told me how good they were and drug me down there during lunch. I checked out a few of them and did not think that they were worth the money and did not pick one up. I guess looking back.... I still don't think they are worth $79.00.... :-) YMMV.... |
