Took the Yugo SKS for a spin. Color me impressed. Trigger was a bit mushy but whaddya expect? Accuracy was good. At 50 yards with open sights windage was spot-on and a little dicking with the front sight resolved the elevation problem. (It was about 9″ low). Once that was done, five shot groups were fired at 50-yards using the open sights. Average groups were less than three inches although invariably there’d be a flyer blowing it all to hell. But, discount one flyer from each group and its doing pretty well. Reliability was what you’d expect from the SKS/AK family. ALthough, admittedly, I forgot I left the gas cutoff closed and as a result my first shot did not eject. Oooops. Open up the gas cutoff, fire another 100 roudns and no problems.
Good gun kids! Great value at $150 although in ‘good’ condition from J&G Sales in Arizona they are $100.
Cute little gun. Handy. Cheap. Reliable. Everything I look for in a girl.
I’M NOT CHEAP!!!!!!
…you’re “value-oriented”.
*glare*
The trigger on my SKS sucked so I sent it to some dude (some guy from one of the various SKS forums) for a trigger job. Now it’s downright smooth. Still pretty stiff by comparison to a bolt gun, but the scratchy two-stage action is gone.
“entry level priced”?
