Are we seriously discussing "need" here?
......... so you don't shop at Walmart either?It's Chinese! I'm out.
Where is your cell phone made? Computer?It's Chinese! I'm out.
So I just went to WIKI and did some measurements on my own SKS.
1. "Detachable mags" - I can convert my SKS to detach mags if I want, but the stripper clips continue to work very well either way w/o any feed issues whatsoever. Those huge 30rnd mags are a PITB for hunting carry whereas the the sleek little drop mag on a SKS is a much better system.
2. "Weight" - If I remove the bayonet from my SKS, I come very close to the weight on a Type 81.
3. "Length" - Looks like the SKS is a whopping 1.4" longer. WOW!! .... That's huge.
4. "Looks" - Who cares about looks anyways as both are military based rifles? Looks are not an issue unless one like to dress up with their rifles in hand.
I bet these make hippies, liberals and other SJW bed wetters cry....therefore I want one.
So I shouldnt of got a Rasheed becuase its almost like a AG-42/ SKS, shouldn't of got a SKS-D because its just another SKS. Shouldn't of got a VZ52/57 because its almost a SKS...
All these people talking trash about a gun they never held or fired makes me laugh. I hate norincrap with a passion. But just like the T97 I will wait until I have one in hand before calling it crap. Even if I don't like it it will be a nice addition to my collection of 7.62x39 rifles.
Now that we have thrashed this subject out, down to bedwetting, would it be okay for me to ask about how a Comblock (SKS, AK-47, T-81)
compares to an AR platform? Or should I start another thread? I have never shot or even held an AR-15 because: (plastic, restricted, expensive)
but I have gotten curious because of the threads showing up in General Discussion regarding problems, usually case stuck or blown out, kind of stuff.

Does the Canadian army use Chinese rifles? Why would I?
