I get so many negative comments on Youtube for that. Everyone thinks the rifle has been ruined. Damn wiener kids.

i like the kids claiming the ATF will arrest you for owning a machinegun. i got several videos on line of bumpfiring.

Good advice, not all Chinese SKS are junk. I have two that are very well made. They also produced fine quality junk, suitable for boat anchors and junk. Knowing what your looking for is key. If you are unsure, better find a Russian made one.

My father in law and I both bought one years ago for 99 bucks a piece. I believe his quote was, "It looks like it was made out of old beer cans but the sonofabitch sure shoots".

I tend to leave things as issued. One reason, is that in later years they will hold their value. How many venerable military rifles fell prey to sporterization? Money spent to change them + the cost of the rifle only to be worth a few $200 later why the original is worth more that 4 times that. (example is on a P17 or 03)

I have two pre-pre ban SKS, they are worth more the way they are.

Then again, it is really up to the owner. In the long run, IMHO, if a person wants a AR style rifle then a AR would be the best buy.

I have a Chinese Mauser that looks like it was made from beer cans. I have checked head space, it is GTG............ but I am not GTG with shooting it.

This is one of mine, both look the same.

Yeah I think I paid 100 bucks for that SKS I had too. After that episode of it emptying the magazine on full auto from merely letting the bolt fly forward, I took it back to the place I bought it and shoved it up the butt of the guy I got it from:

Many of the long guns and even handguns I have were bought some years ago. One time, I went to a gun show and it was about March of the year, I found a neat "last ditch" Japanese rifle, captured, no import stamp on it and the chrysanthemum NOT ground off, in really nice condition. Even had the last ditch bayonet (minus the frog) with it. I looked at the price and was surprised to see it was so low. I started talking to the guy and he was having tax problems with the IRS and need dough to pay his taxes. So, long story short, I got the great old Japanese rifle and bayonet for a song, because the timing was "right" for buyers, just prior to April 15th, tax time. Same thing happend with the Chinese Nagant rifle I bought, it had been "messed with" as had new finish on it, but looked nice and got it for 50 bucks from a guy who was selling guns to pay taxes. So...sometimes it helps to have a pocket full of money at a gun show just before April 15th...you never know what you will find.

From what I have heard over time was that, the importers got what they wanted from China, it they wanted cheap they got cheap. It was really a buyer's beware market. I was at a friends the other day, he had one of those Chinese super cheap SKS........ All I could say, is junk. Canada still import Norinco stuff, people up there seem to like it.
