Recommendations on SKS

[u/Western_Wish4280]

Hi, hope youre all doing great.

My last post here was asking on advice on whether to buy my buddy's sks or not. Apparently the sale didnt go through and he got an outrageous offer for it and sold it off.

Ever since that, i have been looking to get my hands on an sks.

Dont care if it gets banned anymore. A classic canadian staple and ill be buying it regardless only if i can get my hands on one.

Have been out of luck in New brunswick trying to get one for sub 1200$ . Was looking at firearms outlet and saw multiple still in stock.

Need recommendations/ reviews of the ones you guys and gals already own and the ones to STAY AWAY FROM BUYING.

Even if do get one, itll be very hard to check it in person as ill be trying to get her shipped all around canada. So please guide me on where to buy(already know gunpost and townpost) and which model to buy.

Thanks a ton in advance.

P.S: was willing to get the ATI stock one in the picture as a last resort.

Definitely buy one but stay away from FOC

They had a CC breach allegedly some years ago and didn’t handle it the best apparently. 

Maybe easy for me to say as I wasn’t involved but they’re still very easy to deal with, quick, have sales often, and support the CCFR a lot, so they’re still my go to.

It wasn't allegedly. It happened. They stayed super hush hush about it and kept taking cc orders despite the breach.

Its not the breach the pissed people off, it's the way they handled it.

There's topics about it in this sub if you search it. Supposedly they fired the guy but imo it's a permanent stain on their reputation.
