There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I prefer the SKS to any other.
ammo is cheaper and it don't have any of the 'features'
of an AW.

If you're into 7.62 x 39, check out the Czech vz 58 / vz 2008.

You can get them for around $400 now. The para version with the folding metal stock is actually comfortable.

They are in many ways better than the AK; all milled, 1 lb. lighter, smaller, bolt holds open, inexpensive parts.

Sorry, off topic

I have an original 1956 Chinese SKS. Very fun to shoot.

Since we're on the subject, here is my latest purchase. I was going to sell it for a friend who moved to Oz (along with several other pieces) but after researching, buying a book, etc I've fallen in love with it.
It has the Buffington sights, 1883 cartouches. Clean bore with excellent rifling. His father took very good care of it after shooting it.

Came with about 200 rounds of ammo and vintage copper-jacketed ammo.

All for $600.00.

I am debating whether or not to buy his Remington Rolling Block 7mm Mauser (made in 1901) I am on commission to sell it but it's a little more money than I planned on spending.

That trap door is a beauty! Looks some parts are case hardened.

Have you fired it? If not, I'd test it from a stand first, even after a gunsmith inspection.

It's not a parts gun. All numbers match. :)

It's already passed a gunsmith inspection. Plan on firing it down range at waist level "breech away" for first shot and then check for fouling every other bullet.  :rock

Video to follow next month.

Course, I'm not shooting any of the old ammo...I can sell it and pay for the rifle alone! ;)
