Shooting Better late than never

Post image

1950r Russian SKS

I almost bought one a few years ago for $600 but decided to wait. (In hindsight, this was a bad idea) So now I had to get one before they sell for over 1K.

Now we wait to see how long before it gets banned 🙃

In my eyes they will always be $200 rifle. But it is better to get one before it is banned

Do you feed 5 rds off the clip each reload?

Yes, the mag is pinned to 5, so it'll only take 5 from the stripper clip.
