took the bayonete off and man, what a difference. the rifle is much better balanced without the bayonete.

pinned magazine? annoy:
my uncle has an AR with beta c mags happy: happy: happy:

Ninty, is that a Yugo unissued?

Beautiful rifle, now get a case of ammo before Sept 1. Prices are slated to go through the roof.

Just ordered (8) 30 round pre-ban dated mags for my AR and trying to pick up an additional (8) 30 rounders for my AK (which i don't even have yet....lol) I was supposed to make a 2hr trip upstate last week to pick up my rifle but had to reschedule it for next week. I may pick up another SKS while i'm there and to see what else is for sale. I'm bringing my Saiga with me to shoot. After that, i'm not buying another firearm....i'll be concentrating on buying all the ammo i can before Sept 1.

EDIT: Ninty, you should join this forum: http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php
Lots of info on the SKS.....especially about the firing pin issue. That's the one thing every SKS owner recommends.....a firing pin replacement with a spring return. A guy there manufactures them for sale. I had my SKS completely apart and removing the F/P isn't hard at all.

i want a bloody gun

How did they pull off a country wide ban without the population revolting?

Kus the only people around here that own guns are the Police in London, (local police don't carry guns) the Army & farmers...

I only know one person out of everyone I know who owns a working gun, he's a farmer & it's a 12 boar shotgun or something lame.

wasn't the nationwide gun ban in 1997 or something? couldn't believe you guys didn't revolt or anything. All I can say about this is. when the government comes to take my guns, they'd better bring theirs.

me arkan and ninty will throw a couple rounds down range for you fluff happy:

I wish it were a yugo. it's chinese. brand new though. doesn't have any rounds through it.

pinned mags suck, but when the govt comes for my guns, i'm pretty sure i can just grind the thing off. it's got a rivet on the bottom of the mag holding the pin in, so just take that off and it should fall out.

i have a case on order, i'm just waiting for them to get it in.

yeah those boards are goo arkan. never heard about the firing pin replacement bbut i will look into it for sure. thanks.

Ninty, you got a Chinese Norinco? If so, take a close look at the bore. Is it chrome lined? If so, that's better than a non chromed Yugo. To be honest, i'd rather have a Chinese SKS....at least you don't have to fool around with cosmoline!!

actually, now that you mention it, i think it may indeed be chrome lined. i had read a bit about them being chromed, but i never really thought about it when i got my sks. i'll have to check for sure when i get home.

Hah, that's for sure. my sks showed up on my doorstep clean as a whistle. no messing around with cosmo for me! i have heard people say that they would rather pay an extra $50 if they didn't have to get rid of all the extra cosmo in all the crevaces.

finally got around to taking a good pic of my 17
