So far I have been lucky, and my SKSs came with these handy toolkits.

But time and again I come across other peoples SKS rifles that are sold from dealers that have their kits removed, and some even have been missing the cleaning rods...and then listed separately as a replacement part.

Like WTF? Is dicking over a customer for $10 - $15 worth it in the long run? :mad:

You know who you are, and I'm watching you. :popCorn: [/rantoff]
 
Do people actually USE the POS cleaning kits that come with milsurp rifles?

On any rifle that I've bought, it just stays in the case and collects dust. I use a proper rod and brushes.
 
I love getting someone who doesn't know any better to remove the cleaning kit from my SKS. I always have a band-aid ready for them because I'm a kind and sensitive person.
 
Although I've never used an SKS nor its cleaning kit, god knows I've cursed the gods and the guy who sold me my SVT-40 without the tool. I've mared the wood around the locking pin during breakdown, seperating the reciever from the stock, using an adjustable wrench. I can't wait till the tool comes in!! My M1 Garand tool is invaluable.

Moral: Don't cut the old tools/kits short. They're still good.

i do ... even if i dont use it , im still entitled to have it since it originally came with the rifle.

like my car , it comes with an old cell phone , i dont use it cos i got my own new cell phone but i still want it cos someday i might sell the car and the purchaser may want to use it.

Well the ones that come with the SKS/AK rifles are pretty darn clever IMHO.
No need to buy anything else for these rifles other then some cleaner/oil, and some patches.

And BTW the rod for it is a one piece rod. :D
 
Yeah it sure would be handy to have a little cleanning kit in the butt of the gun, there incase you needed to take something outta the barrel (obstruction).

:rolleyes:

Sleep on the skins of my enemies, and blissfully dream to the sound of the lamentation of their women...unless it is a full moon then I have to feed. :p

Truth be told in person I'm a Zen guy. :D

But when pressure mounts I throw a transgendered Valkyrie on the back of my murdercycle and head off the the local range and dump 200 rounds of Czech surplus into a 200 yard steel ram, and hopefully quell any angry thoughts I may have. :D
