Misc sks rant

I just need to rant for a second. I bought an SKS with an ATI stock from Bass Pro because it was on sale. I didn’t get a chance to shoot it for about a month. When I finally sat down to clean it, I realized it was missing both the gas piston extension and the spring.

Essentially, I bought a bolt-action SKS.

I emailed Bass Pro customer service, and their response was incredibly disappointing. They told me that next time, I should completely strip the gun down at the retail counter. They basically said, "Too bad, so sad." It really sucks because now I am out almost $1,000, but I guess that’s life. and cant find the parts online

"Should have completely disassembled the gun"

The mouthbreathers that work there will barely even let you dry fire the thing.

Well, I asked if they could take the trigger lock off so i could test the trigger. They said thats against the law. I thought it was pretty bullshit

I've never been handed a gun at bass pro with a trigger lock on.
Barrie will let you rack and fire if you wink at them and slip $5 into their thong.
