I've a cheap SKS that has become a money pit extraordinaire. It is not that it all that much money, but the initial cost / extra $ spent / results ratio (however one figures it), is all eff'd up.
Maybe better a PM than to further sully the Winchester Collector's forum with SKS, but I'd be interested in the particulars of yours, how it shoots, and with what ammo.
This one shoots great. See pic below:
My dad bought this one back in the 90's. It was unfired/new. Its a Yugoslavian model with the grenade launcher. It was a blast to shoot today. Heres how it groups with wolf 122gr hollow point ammo:
This is just steel cased el cheapo ammo. My dad had thousands of rounds for the sks. I'm going to be working on breaking in this brand new barrel....
it might take me a while...
