Has anyone bought one of SIR's SKS

[Smoothbore]

I notice SIR Mail Order is selling SKS rifles.
Has anyone bought one and would you care to share your impressions?

Thanks.

Ahhhh, I'm known to being blind when searching. :shock:
Sorry :wink:

I beleive that they're the same guns that lever is selling.

I heard that the ones Lever was selling had problems..( undersize barrel pins )...( serial number starting with 040 )...Lever, I believe , fixed their remaining stock...did SIR ?

Levers sks barrel is 18.5" long. So, no it's not the same.

And Lever backs up their SKS's that if your barrel does come loose from a n undersize pin, they'll fix it for you.

I have one. No problem other than it being a Chinese SKS. Ive got the model without the detachable magazine. One of the members in our club has a Albanian SKS. Shoots better than mine. But it was twice the money too.

 

[DaveMachine]

Does the albanian shoot twice as good?

 

[horkz]

Never bothered to compare. SKS's shoot cast fine too.

I got mine at SIR and Im fairly impressed with it...It's accurate enough for an SKS, and the price was right...

 

[booniewolf]

I picked up one of mine from SIR a few years back and I was also rather impressed.

I was impressed by the gun, but SIR's service is something close to non-existant. They may have a new store, but the customer service from the old store followed them over.

Cabelas took them over. I hear mixed response from people.
