It arrived Friday from Marstar.Actually looked to be in fair shape and from 10' or more away you can hardly see the brushstrokes or errant hairs from the paint on finish.lol.Any advice on the loading,and removal of live rounds would be appreciated.Ammo should arrive this coming week and I'm anxious.
To load you feed it through the top of the action, just like 99% of sporting rifles out there. You can feed it off of stripper-clips which slide intot he slots on the top of the bolt carrier. Insert clip and push down with thumb until the magazine is full.
To unload pull on the tab in front of the trigger gaud to open the floor plate. Just like 90% of sporters out there. I'm confident that if you've used a commercial bolt-action rifle, loading and unloading will be second-nature to you.

Don't consider an SKS equilavent to a .30/30, and don't assume you can take deer with it as easily.
They might have similar ballistics, but the .30/30 dwarves the SKS in the real world, it's just that 99% of .30/30 ammunition uses a much different bullet which allows it to be compared to the SKS so often..

^ I was under the impression that 7.62x39mm was a slightly superior cartridge because the pointed bullets have better BC versus the flat-nose 30-30 bullets? When would a 30-30 use a "better" bullet than a typical 7.62x39 bullet?
