Several are known here at the site, and most gun stores or retailers will sell them. But in the EE there is Weimajack, site sponsors Corwin Arms, and Westrifle... lots of CGN members have had great service with all three.
There also should be available through TradeEx Canada, Canada Ammo, Marstar, among others.
Got mine right before Christmas from Canada Ammo. Amazing price on them during the Christmas sale.
SKS is a great way to learn to shoot without breaking the bank. Rifles and Rounds are cheap and plentiful. Shoot safe.
When all else fails, Bark like a dog !
They are a lot of fun to shoot, but don't expect great accuracy. Not made for that. And scoping one won't help. Kind of daft to scope a carbine in the first place, but scopes do not fix poor accuracy. Most are good enough for deer out to 100 yards though.
cheap because they made so many, and the russian (and chinese as well) ones can't be sold to usa anymore.
the ammo is cheap. I paid $0.16 a round last time i bought some ammo for it. depending on the brand, that's cheaper than .22LR (not bulk of course)
imo, if you pay between 180-220 you got a fair price. i bought both of mine at my LGS.
Best value for a first rifle hands down. Some places will let you pick from the litter - big box retailers and online stores will pull one from the back and that will be yours. Ammo can be expensive if you buy in 20 round boxes to astoundingly cheap if you buy a 1000 plus round crate of Eastern European milsurp. Some ammo crates may also contain stripper clips which can be difficult to come by - aftermarket clips are often a poorly manufactured waste of money as they don't fit. Watch some you tube vids and understand care and feeding of the floating firing pin (slam fires). The bayonet screw is staked in but can be removed with a decent screwdriver if desired - it will change the sighting slightly as you will alter barrel weight. They are a ton of fun to shoot.
First rifle I ever bought. They're ugly girls with great personalities -- at a certain point though you stop caring what others think and enjoy their company.
Guns, Jeeps, fishing and rye -- the cornerstones of a happy life.
Canadian tire range from 149 on sale to regular every day price of 189.
What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?
Not great for a hunting gun but an awesome fun and cheap range or back field shooter. Pretty hefty gun too, not your average plinker.
