Yugo and Russian versions did not have chrome plated bores. There’s a fair

I bought them for family Christmas gifts. I think they were $99. Chinese,
chrome-plated bores.

Best thing I ever did with my SKS was qualify for my GI Garand.

Guns don't age the way other things do. I took my 11ga side by side muzzle
loader to trap last Friday. We fired both barrels 4 times. I shot it twice,
Angie once and the guy who runs trap fired it once.It functioned perfectly, all
8 shots went off with only barely perceptible delay. That gun
A long time ago, back when Clinton was president, Iron Bloc surplus was
selling cheap.
And Norinco would sell you 1000 brand new SKS rifles for about $35k, FOB
Shanghai. Obviously you needed to be a licensed firearms importer to take
advantage of those prices.
Those SKS were retailing below $100
Yeah, one of the first times I was out shooting as an adult I shot one of them
and really enjoyed it. Amazing how accurate they are with iron sights. Dead
nuts on the line I was hitting 8” diameter steels at 100 yards without any

shot one I knew I had to have one.

Nice. That could be fun.
The youngest son and I were trying out our sporting clay club’s new rifle range
today. 100 yards long, which is nice.
I took my Yugoslavian SKS and the youngster took his new Remington 700
chambered in 300 magnum. Needless to say he has a very sore shoulder. I do not,
The skeet is a little hard on the prize I would think...
