Re: [MBZ] OT - SKS - Which is the Best?

Good point about the 7.62. It's not the .308" bullet diameter of our 7.62x51 ammo, it's properly .310". Therefore it pays to know whether your barrel is intended for .310 or .308 ammo. Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Re: [MBZ] OT - SKS - Which is the Best?

My firearms typically get cleaned upon return from the range. A rare instance when they don’t. While it really wouldn’t make any difference for me as I would do it no matter what, the environment here is not conducive to leaving the leftovers from gunpowder on metallic objects for long.

Lucky you, they were $120 in a local store and $95 at the shows. $60 seems incredible in light of my memory that they were $35 in quantities of 1000 FOB the Shanghai docks. I figured it cost about $50 to land one in the USA. Or were the surplus ones cheaper than the new Chinese ones produced

Understand that I don’t do rifles. Pistol and shotguns. As a result I have no knowledge of ammo in that regard. This is good to know. So do the domestic manufacturers make the stuff, or is there just boatloads of it sitting around as surplus? -D > On Jan 27, 2018, at 3:40 PM, Curley

Look on GunBroker. If they are around you’ll probably find some there. I don't recall seeing any when I did a recent search, but I didn’t look into them too deeply, either. The guy with the ad I posted has invited me to come by and see his collection and get learned on them if I like. He’s

In addition, look for screwed in barrels as opposed to pinned barrels. This applies mostly to Chinese copies. Yugo versions are fun, as they're set up with grenade launching barrels... On Fri, Jan 26, 2018 at 10:53 PM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: > Look for chrome bore,

Look for chrome bore, and Bobs your uncle. Russia exported the design to many of the soviet supported countries, so there are millions of copies worldwide from that production. China being one. At the fall of the USSR when the military warehouses were sold off,, you could pick up a case of SKS
