Why are you guys talking ammo count like yall got sks with virgin barrel? Wouldn't the ammo count of an sks be unknown since these are military surplus and there's no way to tell how many shot Ivan fired?
It's such a KISS rifle that if it had a pistol grip and detachable magazines (not the SKS-D), I don't think the AK-47 would have made it into production (sorry Mikhail Kalashnikov).
A non chrome lined barrel will last about 5000 rounds. Heat is the biggest killer of non chrome lined barrels and dumping 2 or 3 30 round magazines really fast will greatly reduce the barrels life span. Chrome lined barrels can last 2x - 3x longer then a non-chrome lined barrel with a small sacrifice of being slighly less accurate....snip....
not sure about that , the 7.62 x39 mm is a low velocity cartridge , not a barrel burner it probably take more than 5000 shoot , probably like 10-15k , my cz858 is near the 3k mark and accuracy is the same before and after that , i'm sure this summer i will past the 5-6k mark and the barrel will be like a new
hows the cz holding up?
Iv probably eaten up 4000 rounds with my Norinco SKS, i have replaced an extractor spring and a firing pin. But She just keeps eating all my 7.62X39mm. i ALWAYS give her the love she deserves after a day at the range.
But how long can i expect it to live?
After how many rounds will i see my groups permanently open up?
How many rounds do you have through your SKS? And what did it take to keep her alive?
Will the gun become dangerous to fire after X amount of rounds?![]()
what a rifle for the price, it must be the best deal going
I dunno about 200 years?
