Groups? Sooooo....minute-of-side-of-barn?
Lol, in all seriousness, what sort of groups can the SKS realistically acheive?
I beleive that a sub-moa sks is a reality. In fact, here's one.

Anyone who states that their stock-barrelled and gas operated sks is anywhere near MOA is simply lying or deluded.

The barrel is hard chromed. There is no such thing as breaking it in.
The accuracy of an SKS is determined by how it fits the stock - not by the barrel. The open sights are a huge limiting factor, too. And surplus ammo is not exactly match grade stuff.
Anything under 8 MOA is real good.

Ganderite, I beg to differ. This baby is a 1950 Tula, and they didn't start to chrome them till sometime in 1951.
That said, if I can treat it right, it just might end up a near MOA performer. Who knows?
Bearhunter, I like your thinking.
I figure I can select one or two letter or number drills at a near transition fit at the constriction.
Cut off the shanks and use them as lapping slugs while pushing lapping compound down the gas port like so much sausage meat. Wiggle the slug back and forth with a couple of cleaning rods with depth marking tape on them.

If it is a refurb, it could very well be chrome bore, if they replaced the barrel in refurb process! Lots of those around!

I can hit a 1 pound can of Binary at 160 yards with open sights and military stock....
Just sayin (and not after 10 shots)

Sigrunes, this does not have any refurb markings. It looks like it was part of the Polish contract, as it has the golden coloured overmolded laminated stock.
My guess is that the Russkies gave the Polacks some old crap that was gathering dust in their arsenal. Now this old Ukie has a potentially great little gem...

You can be helped a lot more if you post pics of your rifle! What markings are on it that make you think it is Polish?
