Take it easy Calum. More than just your opinion on this site.

Ain't no stretch at all, just plain old fact.
The M43 Cartridge was developed and tested in the SKS.
Now go run along now, and put more cranberry sauce on your Turkey.

Don't take it personal Geoff, history can be a harsh Mistress, especially with Com bloc Milsurps that have been made in a dozen or more countries.
The only cure is to get one, and a case of ammo, and head to the range for some fun time.

Cheers

Well, it was designed during the Great Patriotic War and "Battle Rifles" don't fire intermediate cartridges like the M43. I've seen lots of pics from a little place called Viet Nam where the SKS was used to justify the "milsurp" title as well.
It's such a "special" case, it has it's own sub-forum.
That statement from someone saying that Russians were fighting germans on Eastern Front is some sort of insult. Its like American asking for directions in Amsterdam and stranger says "aah, you must be foreigner" and American says "no-no its you - foreigner, I am American". (Just a gentle reminder that that was happening in Amsterdam)
Here is mental exercise. Put yourself in the middle of mother Russia. Then look towards where Germany is supposed to be. Then wait till the sun set. While waiting for the sunset you may think, there was Eastern front in Russia too, where they held their forces ready for Japanese invasion that never happened. Another fact is that Russian armies were grouped into "Fronts" and those fronts were individually named. One of them was called just that "Western Front". Ok, here we go, watch the beautiful sunset now.

+1 me too... the chinese one is a US vet war trophy bring back
My very first was a bringback M21 marked T56 obtained in the US. Back in 1977, when bringing a rifle back was like importing a 26'er or a pack of smokes.

One Factory 26 made in 1967
Just one Chinese, which I purchased with the intent of customizing and shooting thousands of rounds through. Instead it sits in a locked case in pristine condition having only had about 150 rds through it. Despite the fact it sees basically no use, it's still nice to own.
