I just dont see it, the SKS is one of my favs to shoot because it has next to no recoil and it is so cheap to shoot. I have just in the last year fired over 3000rounds through mine.  

If you say it kicked hard maybe it did, possibly the gun had some sort of malfunction. If it wasnt cycling the bolt everytime then maybe the gas valve was clogged. That would increase the felt recoil.

Saburo, you may be closer to unveiling my conspiracy theory about atomic recoil of SKS than the hunters who are trying to teach me.

Most of the time our SKS shooting practice included firing from the "prone" posture when you lay flat on the ground, your right leg in line with the aiming direction, left leg outstretched to the left side, both hands used as the support for the Karabin. In this position one can't fully "fit" the stock into the shoulder. The lower and  the middle parts of the back of the stock just rest on top of your shoulder. But this is the main battle firing posture, especially for the defensive combat. And I was serving with the AA unit. Don't think they were expecting any attacking tactics on our part.
I guess the guys who so severely critisize me are mostly the hunters who used to shoot the whitetails from a stand-up position when it's easier to properly "fit" the stock.

It's all about pressure. In your case the stock fits your shoulder well.
If you want to really see what I'm talking about, saw off a one inch section off of a wooden broomstick, duct tape it to your stock so it goes between your shoulder and stock, then fire off your rounds.
Here's betting you'll feel a difference. It's all about P-S-I.

This guy doesn't even know the purpose of a recoil buffer in a semi-auto.

Hint: That piece you googled up isn't to protect your shoulder. It's an increased durability piece for the gun.

gen.... you do realize that a "recoil buffer" is not to protect you from or to diminish felt recoil?

A recoil buffer is a piece of plastic that goes between the two pieces of metal that make contact in an arm during the cycling of the action... it protects the metal parts from banging into each other not your shoulder.   Recoild buffers usefulness is "debateable".

An SKS has allmost no recoil to speak of.  Only a 22 rifle has less that I know of.  maybe a thirty carbine.

He's probably been hit in the face with the butt of an SKS and that's what he is remembering of it's recoil effect.

I will admit that recoil from any gun is worse prone because your body doesn't give with the recoil like it does standing or kneeling.

Or from a bench for that matter.  Start sighting in big bores and you learn the benefit of getting it right as soon as possible.  ;)

SKS has a recoil....

lol what a damn sissy...

You wouldn't want to shoot my .50... that's got some recoil... but no more than a 375 HnH.  





The worst thing about shooting a .50 is the over pressure from the muzzle break... imagine someone whacking you over the nostrils to simulate it.

I think I'm just going to pick up a surplus wood chinese stock for $10.

  I found 2 inch rubber stock extender for about $10. Screws on to the stock no problem. I didnt really think it would make that big a difference but it did. Im 6'2" so the short man stock wasnt cutting it.

Hmmm...

If the SKS is really original russian then I don't think anything chinese made will fit.  Noticed some differences in the 2 models.

As to recoil.  IMHO it depends a very great deal on where the butt of the rifle is placed on the shoulder.

If you place the butt of the rifle on the MEATY portion of the shoulder (the shoulder joint) rather then in the hollow of the shoulder (that is just beneath the collar bone and inward of the shoulder joint) you are asking for some real pain.

I taught my son how to place a rifle while he was young.  Years later we are firing some rifles, me a 30-06 bolt action and him a 308 semi-auto and he complains to me of pain in the shoulder after firing his rifle.  I ask him to show me what he was doing and whoa! Somehow somewhere he unlearned the proper way and was putting the butt on his shoulder joint.  He had a rather nasty bruise there later.
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.
