First leap into the red: Shot an SKS today and have some questions...

[mathieu1990]

My first gun was an SKS that i bought from frontier, lots of fun and cheap!

It's a 22 for big kids with a practical side you can hunt medium game. It's accurate enough and plenty of fun. It's the gun everyone should own.

They are used for Tiger hunting in Siberia.

Might get one myself....

Used to own over 10, now down to two. A Russian and a Yugo. Might get a Chinese one but holding back a bit. I also used to trick mine out but I got away from that and prefer them plain.

Forget the detachable mags. You can reload faster with the stripper clips.

I set mine up with a detachable mag for the look and still use stripper clips anyways

LOL IV HEARD SO MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS OHHH THESE ARE THE LAST SHIPMENT NO MORE SKS EVER.... no more ammo.

just buy one everyone should own one, they are cheap hardy and fun...you want ammo stock up...

When we're buying the 1000-1200 round cases, is there a legal amount that we can't go over. Can we only have say 3 crates at a time or is the sky the limit???

I've been told that the law reads " reasonable amount" bearing in mind the upcoming zombie invasion, 10 sks's matched with 3-4 crates per rifle seems reasonable to me

I was told the limit is 22kg of gun powder before you need a specialized building to house it off your main property.

This was news to me anyway, anyone else?

Like most laws in canada, the amount of ammo you can stockpile is vague and open ended. Exact wording it "a reasonable amount". So if you can "reasonably" justify having it, its all good.
