Chinese SKS
i traded a 303 british enfield for this Chinese sks in 1990. The sks was brand new never been out of box, just arrvied at the store. This sks cost $75.00 new. the gun shop gave me $150 for the 303. I didn't want to sell but i like everything about it. This sks has been all over the united states. It went through three hurricanes many of swims. I've taken this rifle through everything including a rough day at the range a couple times firing around 1500 rounds through the sks in about ten hours, not cleaning, oiling, or anything this is a great rifle. I'm thinking on putting it away and buying another one. I've took it in the mountains, swamps, desert, and it works great every time. I enjoy hiking, canoeing, fishing, and shooting. if you go outdoors this is a good firearm to buy. It breaks down easy to clean and extremely reliable. if a bear does come after you (black bear), ten rounds does stop them. from experience. its fun and easy to carry & shoot, whatever you do you'll enjoy it. also a word of advice; use a teflon oil cleaner on it. i use thompson from their black powder arms. Thompson guns (tc). salt water will cause a little problem but shoots fine.
