My My, how the tide has turned for the SKS...

[VICIOUS]

Is reloading 7.62-39 getting more common? At least for those looking to get better groups. Yes it is costly but interesting.

Love Kurgans Collection, but, forbidding a serious Boating incident, most of us know {some of} 'what he has'. Don't put past 'them' to make notes of these things.. But, Mehh, who knows..

All sold, but one.

I tried my hand in that, but too time consuming, lol. If I want exceptional accuracy, I buy Prvi soft points. Barnaul works very well for me anyway.

I may just take mine out and shoot it to see how it groups at 50 this weekend

prvi or barnaul worked for me as well ... before that stupid boat accident and the worst was that it happened while still ice on the lake ...

I am from East Europe, there you pay the tag price only, tax allways included. Price + tax is a kind of dishonest bussiness, giving the ilusion of cheap price.

Corny, if you miss it, move to Alberta. Taxes are included in the list price

It's only costly if you don't police your brass to reload again.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck!! Seems to be a lot of accidents lately!

They're actually very cool milsurps. People turn their nose up at them, but for a gas-operated semi, they're robust, and a lot of fun to shoot. When I bought mine at $200, I felt that was undervalued. I think SKS is coming up to its proper value now.

(In 2008, I sold two LE4 for $350 each, and last year bought one in slightly less condition, for $800... lesson = never ever sell a gun).

I was just recollecting on some rare beauties I once owned and will likely never find again, nevermind skyrocketed values. Yep, NEVER SELL

Couple of fairly priced nice examples on there as of last night. Not surprised they are gone. Considered pulling the trigger on one in particular.

Did you hear about the poor bugger ice fishing and the gun slid down the hole?

 

[riversrest]

Nah - the in cosmoline ones.

Had a second look at those as well. Very nice indeed.
