What is the best SKS book you know of?

[AlexV]

I'm looking to buy a good collector/historian reference on the SKS. What is the best book you own about them?

I saw "The SKS Carbine, 5th Revised and Expanded Edition" by Steve Kehaya and Joe Poyer but not sure it's the "best" book around...

Ian Skennerton had a good little book.

The original field manual and repair manual - if you can read Russian


Field manual (web version, try Google Translate): http://www.nastavleniya.ru/SKS/skss.htm

Those are great resources but it's not quite what I had in mind (and I already have them). I'm more looking at something that will tell the history of the SKS, it's different variations over time, factories and that will cover SKS from other countries...

I know some people
In another forum have been working on an sks book but I don't think it is ready yet. For now, the hooper site is the best and most
Current sks resource going, imo.

Yooperj. Stupid autocorrect.

None of the currently published books are very good, unfortunately.

The best is "The SKS Carbine, 5th Revised and Expanded Edition"

I can sell you mine if you want.
