I have a pair of Russian SKS rifles. One in a Laminated stock, one in natural wood. I also have an Albanian SKS, a Romanian SKS, three Yugo SKS rifles (one a Model 59, a 59/66, and a 59/66A1), a Chinese Police SKS (OEM with a 20 round fixed mag), and an SKS-M (paratrooper that uses AK mags, but has no bayonet).

Think that I like them?

yep ..you like'em..i have a Cowboy carbine ..as they was labeled in the day....which is a Chinese SKS para trooper with no evil bayonet lug... I have it scoped...

I almost was a able to snag a Paratrooper that accepted AK mags..but was hue-dooed by the pawnshop owner...



I have a over priced Nornico Sporter lined up at this time ..can't get the owner to budge....I'd like to have it as a deer rifle....

Oh, by the way.......

Congratulations on your Russian SKS! :cool:

I have an early milled Chinese SKS that I'm rather fond of. Would not mind collecting a Russian SKS as well!


Egyptian AKM, Chinese SKS, and Ruger Mini-30.

I had a Norinco that I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with. I thought it would be a dandy way to save money on ammo... I just couldn't get used to the short sight radius or poor iron sights. My attempts to mount a scope on a rail mounted on the recoil cover were frustrating as the scopes kept coming loose no matter what I did and I got pissed and traded for a 24/7 in 9mm which I later traded for something else. I wished I had kept the rifle and had worked harder on the sighting issues. It was stone cold reliable and fun to shoot other than my ineptitude with it.

Sorry you had bad luck with your Norinco ,mine is very accurate ..and I have a B-Square scope mount that has been on the gun for over 12 yr.s ..with a few thousand rds down the tube...seems to be holding up fairly well...but theres always a exception ....

The B-Square scope mount ,is the Cadillac of SKS scope mounts..its like a shroud over the existing receiver cover...seems to work very well...

I need to get myself an SKS to go with my Mosin-Nagant. If i run into a good deal on one i'll get it, but at least i know where a bunch of Saiga's are located in all calibers just in case.
