Okay that's Jerry m man ! lol that guy could shoot a blunder bust at 1000 years and knock the wings off of a fly lol

I'm talking about any of you who can shoot it well 6" or better consistently at 100 yards ? I know it won't shoot 2" that's for damn sure

With my old eyes (I'm 70) I can consistently shoot my non-refurbished Type 56 at 2x3" or 3x2" for 5 shot string and 3x5" for 10 shot string from a bench rest, sitting. My Russian refurb I'm a bit less accurate but not by a huge margin.
The problem with the SKS accuracy when shooting more than 5 rounds is that according to a Canadian idiotic law, a magazine is pinned to 5. For 10 shots you have to re-load which always changes your original aiming position and makes shooting inherently less accurate then shooting 10 rounds at once.

He said Chinese, they will be for sale in stores soon for around $350.--- $200. These days is a steal!

Well, my local CTC manager just told me, they were informed that the next order of sks would be around $200. Their cost!! They are selling birch stock sks for $199. Now! So. Ased on that i would say this year sks prices will go way above what i am willing to pay!

We may end up seeing unissued/unrefurbed SKS' skyrocket to $500~ and the average beater $300-$350 if this is true.

I will be very surprised if you can get one for that price

Would like to see a yugo too...... Chinese..... Other variations. I don't need any more russian SKS.

Ill pay up to 499$ got a yugo.

I would like to see an unissued non refurb, I know they are out there, but not sure how you tell they haven't been issued. I have a couple non refurb but the do look like they were lightly used which is probably the reason they were not refurbed. It would be cool to see a crate of brand new unissued SKS opened up!
