Good point. I did kind of want a detachable magazine semi auto in 7.62 x 39, though. The SKS is a nice shooter though. 10 years ago they were available by the crate load from the C&R specialty distributors. I picked up a great condition Yugo SKS on my C&R license for about $200. It was fun getting one shipped direct from out of state without doing a 4473.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 7:12 pmI have an AK, and wouldn’t mind owning an SKS, but money is a problem. For whatever my advice is worth, you already have a reliable sample of a 7.62x39 rifle. If it were me, I’d spend that AK money on more ammo. That AK will be useless if 7.62x39 ammo stocks dry up ....like they already seem to be doing. Get the ammo now, while you can. Worry about the new rifle later. That’s my 2¢.ScottDLS wrote: ↑Sun Dec 13, 2020 6:45 pm Got 3 20 rd boxes of M855 green tip at Academy today. 9.99 a box. There was a 3 box limit or I would have bought more. 50 cents a round is merely lousy pricing vs. the obscene pricing seen online. I can seem to find 7.62x39 bulk in large quantity and at more reasonable prices online. Maybe because it's imported. Makes me want to buy an AK variant while I still can. Right now I only have an SKS.
