Consider getting a second one. You don’t want this one getting lonely

Haha don't tempt me. If I go down this route, there's no limit to how many I can justify.

u/Medical_Bluejay_7506 Jun 02 '26

I can justify 6 but only have 2 I’m getting there tho

I justified it and stopped after number 4, but then again, it was like 400 bucks a few yrs ago.

Sorry for the perverts that I didn't include my dirty, stinky feet. Didn't want to take away from the sexiness of the SKS

Gunpost, a guy from Nova Scotia shipped it to me for $920. For the quality and how well he had taken care of it, I feel good about the purchase. The stock sold me on it big time.

In my head these are still $200 guns…how times have changed I guess.

Two is good, they like to be paired up. I have a Russian and a Chinese one.

Maybe I'm the odd one

Folks talk about Sks rifles, they talk about poor accuracy, how easy to Bubba them, cheap semi auto rifle still legal.

But me??? I think they are beautiful! Fun, looks good with a bayonet and without, fun to load with stripper clips. Looks good with an Internal mag, looks good with a banana clip, looks good with a rare flush mag. Looks good with a scout scope or small red dot,  looks good just as it is with iron sights. Like they look good. Sure they might not be rare or unique, but the fact you can own one for relatively  cheap, and shoot cheap ammo for it, it's amazing!

Heck yeah. Cool history, affordable gun with affordable ammunition, robust and simple design. Can't go wrong.

Hopefully the hollow minded liberals don’t ban it

u/Curticus97 Jun 02 '26

Yeah, fingers crossed. I figured I should grab one before then so I can at least take it on a romantic boating trip before saying goodbye.

You will need it again when things go south. That's basically one of the prepper insurance.

Innawood is the key, lol

Solid guy, that Mike. Bought everything I owned off me at a great price, and cash too!
