Just got it and have had alot of fun with it, cheap ammo and a sand pit to use it in equals fun!!!!
The SKS is a great Firearm and everybody should have a least one..
They are by far my favorite Rifle....glad to hear you are enjoying yours.

I think when the LGR is over, everybody should buy one.
I was never into "commie weapons" for a long long while. I grew up with Ars, M1as, etc etc. What do I wind up shooting the most and have as my go to rifle? A damned SKS. And the little suckers multiply. I bought on in 2004, got 3 more in 2009 and another unissued russian for Christmas. Much more accurate than you think considering all the crap hanging off the barrel, the relative lack of good stock bedding and lackluster surplus ammo. My wife "claimed" one of mine and I find its a fine fighting .30 rifle for a lady to learn how to shoot profficiently. Ive been turned to the dark side I guess

It was my wife's first, and it's still her only one. She loves it.
I have one as well and they are just a pleasure to shoot.

Why waiting? They won't get cheaper anymore...
Absolutely love mine. Took it out yesterday to the family farm to try it out, and had a great time. Just plinking mind you but my observation of my first and only SKS thus far - easy to load via the stripper clips, accuracy was all right-all shooting was done with no rests at about 40 yards and several Timmie Horton's x-large coffee cups were blown off the top of fence posts, I was standing in a canola stubble field after all, the gun was easy to field strip and operate. Good times.
Aah,I sense the force is strong in you
I know that feeling.I love my SKS,too...I'm more of a shotgun guy,I have 5 SKS meanwhile,what is wrong with me? But:Won't get cheaper and only the AR platform has more aftermarket acessorys than the SKS-for twice the price,too. So,trying to find a russian beater I ended up with 2 originals and a refurb that's just too nice to shoot...then I have my "accurate" SKS and my try out-shoot all-under any conditions-beater...ugly,not much TLC asides from quick cleaning and rinsing it down with WD40...meanwhile I love this one the most:never really good taken care off,1200+ corrosive rounds down the pipe,yet she works and I can hit a milk jug offhand at 100yd all day long...bought it used already not too clean (had to get the rust out of the firing pin hole...)ugly painted refurb.Show me an AR that goes trough that kind of s**t,still shoots and only cost a 150 used?! You gotta love the SKS!!
Spirit,if you ever make it south 2hrs on Hwy 21...come and vistit with your SKS,have some fun at my farm!...and try this out: fill your timmy cups or even better pop cans with water and shoot-if you hit it with the SKS at 100 yd,there is not much left over...plus the ammo cost for plinking,only the .22 rimfire can beat it,even most of the 12 ga shotshells are more

Just might take you up on that. No coffee cup or recyclable container will be safe.
Sure,just PM or mail me the day before! And no shooting at coffee cups out here...my wife most likely whips out the 12ga if we start ruining her porcelain...
I love mine too.. Im still not sure why?..
They are too much fun to shoot and refinish, and try to make something decent out of.
Must be my Froidian id, trying to make a very naughty girl, into a nice girl?.
keep them naughty...less boring than "very nice"

They are great cold war relics, and once the supply of Russians drys up they will get a bit more respect.
You can pretty them up as much as you want! I think about how my grandpa could have bought No.4 Enfields for 9 bucks each, or no 4 T for 24 with the scope. How much do they go for now? Someday, there won't be millions of unbubba'd sks's in original condition
SKS's are putting my future grandkids through college You can pretty them up as much as you want!

Hopefully youre right.. we are all working to find them more appealing by improving accuracy and finishing the stocks which are stunningly beautiful when done right.
