Howdy all,

Has anyone bought one of the recently available Chinese SKS with blade bayo?

What do you think of em vs the "newer" rifles like the "french ticklers" etc. Never had a pre 1965 era Chinese rifle before

Thanks!
 
I just bought a FT last week, got it cleaned and out shooting Sat. I was impressed while cleaning that it was Very 'full' of Cosmo, but cleaned up pretty easily w-Varsol, then Alcohol. about 2-3 hours all in. I've had 2x '51 Tulas and both had bores 'like the dark side of the moon', very pitted and rifling half worn. This bore is immaculate, and still is, only 45 rounds to Zero @ 25, 50, 100, 175-yds. Nothing like a New Rifle. By the SN mine is from 1980, a '25-million SN'. I don't know if the 'Blade' rifles are 'UN-issued like the FTs are. IF you're buying from a private seller, maybe take a borescope ?

Cool! How's it grouping at 100?

Have seen the FTs in store and surprised you managed to clean it up that fast haha. They didn't spare the cosmo!

The blade rifles are def not "unissued" but I am hopin they ain't beat to sh*t either

No because dealers all use the same stock image.

Tenda lists em as surplus for example and I really doubt stores would be selling unissued, all matching pre 1965 rifles for $500
 
Joel, at 100 I was able to get ca 3-4 MOA or so But I was only shooting at hand-drawn 3-4" Red target-rings. Not the best contrast for my old eyes plus irons with a Black Pin. I only shot a dozen rounds at that range. At 50 I had 3-out-of 4 in 1.695" group. I plan to paint the F-sight pin&shroud and rear blade White to improve visibility, like I had done to my Tulas.

i was wondering if you saw it in person. tenda actually says the blade is "new/like new" .

Yeah I wasn't sure cause they have all the standard disclaimers about it being a surplus rifle and everything that could be wrong....did they mean the blade is new or like new, or the whole rifle? haha

Then again I know people hear "great shape" and still dont realize its a surplus service rifle so....
