Well I was watching this documentary.
This was regarding all nuclear tests that were done under the ground on the territory of USSR during,60s 70s and 80s some for peace full reasons some not. Like making water holes in Kazakhstan for animals and military reasons like how far they can push the envelope to gain superiority over USA. What made me worry is this. What I saw in this documentary is during that time troops that were either guarding or cleaning, even testing contamination levels after explosions were armed with SKSs.
Holly crap, this means we might have some of these sks in our homes and handling them every day.
Any one tested their stocks for radiation?????????
Am I being paranoid?????
 
That's an interesting idea.

Unless my knowledge of radioactivity is flawed, the SKS themselves would not have become radioactive, though they certainly could pick up radioactive matter. Would not the potentially contaminated matter be removed by the vigorous cleaning required due to the corrosive ammo.
 
didja think they'd sell these cheep for no reason... haha... theres alway a catch !

ummm... on the up side.. at least you don't need tritium night sights
 
Meh, you get exposed to more ionizing radiation when flying an airliner at 30,000 feet than from potential residue on old rifles..

If you eat meat from industrial processing plants, you're being poisoned even more.

Russkis are also experts at nuclear decontamination. Good wash job should do er. ;) Not sure if it still applies, but at one point, atmospheric nuclear contamination was severe enough that steel picked up trace radioactivity while it was being made, a problem when it came to making precision detection and measuring devices.

Grizz
 
Exposure to radiation doesn't make an object radioactive. If you live in an industrial city you are at way more risk breathing the air.
 
That was teir original plan - contaminate all SKSes with radiation and send them over to NATO countries, why do you think we don't have that many AKs here? Correct - because they are not radioactive.
 
Iron and steel pick up radiation in dangerous quantities, hence why all the equipment that was being used at Chernobyl (helicopters, APCs, Ural trucks, UAZ's, etc) was left there in a still functional state at a giant junkyard that's off limits to everyone. Because the items are steel & iron, radiation levels at the junkyard are amongst the highest in the area to this day.

All that steel was too radioactive to reuse in any way and all members of clean up crews died shortly after these events. So yes, your SKS could be contaminated if it happened to be anywhere near a similar incident. One can only hope that the Ruskies would've junked such guns instead of putting them in cosmo and storing in an arsenal for 50+ years.

Here's a small section of the junkyard:

Wait a second....does this mean that everyone who buys an SKS will develop superpowers?


w:h:


I'm going to get another one and hope for X ray vision! I know where there's a ladies only gym.....


:xes
 
Kewl pic..those are some big choppers

i say we send in the guy who's drilling the gas ports on the type 97's and get him to collect up all the surplus ammo and unissued sks's for us
