SKS owners....please look

[Allen]

I own two SKS and really enjoy shooting them. One is Chinese. It appears more crude in its finish both metal and wood. The fixed magazine has been replaced by a detachable 30 round mag. If you like throwing a lot of lead with decent accuracy, this is the gun.

The second is a Russian gun. The finish is better and the gun just seems to shoot better. It still has the fixed magazine, but I have about 30 striper clips for easy reloading.

Both guns are deadly out to 125 yards with fixed sights. Now that I have glasses I can probably shoot further.

I use the surplus Russian ammo you can get at any pawn shop or gun show. The powder leaves a terribly mess, but the guns have never jammed.

I love them for what they are to me, cheap to buy, cheap to shoot and a lot of fun for the weekend. My daughter loves to shoot them also due to the light recoil.

I would say enjoy it like it is and put the target barrel on a better gun.
