Thats awesome... let'er rip,... I would only do that to a chinese version.
I know the Russian can take it, but I'd like to preserve the barrel on mine.

Recently I had the chance to shot an SKS, and it got too hot to touch just after 30-40 rounds.
Is that normal?
How hot do you let yours get?
I assumed that it is supposed to be a military rifle,
therefore being capable to handle lots of shooting.

Thank you.

You must have gotten a bad one from the batch. My SKS stays at a constant 7 degrees celcius around here, no matter what happens!

LOL, does that mean that you never take it out of the gun safe?
