Wow, that's a rather odd restriction. Mind you over there you probably don't need to look hard to find cheap surplus.

SKS in Ukraine going around 300-400 bucks and ammo(surplus)twice of price here(wages there around 300 $).goverment try to limit possesion of firearms by holding price high.But you can get full auto AK and mags not pinned.

Thanks for the Translation Coolzak...:) I watched the video and it is neat to see their view on the SKS, it is amazing that after 60+ Years this Rifle has such a huge following.
 
I just bought my first sks, and I'm in my usual OCD (full throttle/no throttle mode); I want to know everything about the sks--Not that I speak/understand Ukrainian. Thank you for posting the video.
