The sks was fun to shoot with but it was far from accurate, although a skk with a 30 shot clip and cheep as chips ex army ammo you were guaranteed to hit something..

I wonder if the new ones shoot any better, I might never know... thanks John Howard.

I'm no Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova expert, but isnt the mag equipped version the SKK, unless this is a converted SKS....

anyhoo, The Russians can own an SKS, and now (as of last week) they can even carry them for self defence!!
I dont mind the cold... :D

M16/M4 with a different gas system.....

naaaaaaaaah.

If our military goes back to a 30 cal I'd like to see a return to the SLR, why not, at least the tallywackers would know we're serious should we return to the sand pit...

No I havent, but if we dumped the Steyr, and returned to a real rifle, what would you suggest, maybe an STG43?? :D :D maybe if the Kurz wasnt an intermediate round....

AR10? I dont think colt would license for production here, or was it the cost to license that prevented the Aussie/Lithgow M16????

They only did the contract with Steyr F88 2 years ago or so didn't they?

I suspect they must be locked into that for at least a few more years.

yeah, I think the f90 might be the upcoming change....

With licensing I'm more referring to the pre steyr business....

would brass bring prices down for target shooters but the realty is the '47 case may not feed as well through a semi/auto as a .260 case due to the sharp shoulder angle

I did a Google on sks, it said they were known to slam fire and empty the clip in a un controlled fassion :shock: that's a handy feature.

The original assault rifle.....

Had things panned out differently - we would know 8x33 instead of 7.62x39....

Nice pics, a young Chronos perhaps :lol: :D ;)
