reached 'ICON' status.....thats the only reason why, if you dont have the 30 rd 'banana clip' on full auto, the SKS is the same but much cheaper alternative......

I have been asked a couple of times by hikers/trampers, 'Ooo you have an AK' and there almost 'swooning'...'NO, I own an SKS' is my reply......'a what?'

its exactly the same with 'The Black Rifle'....its the 'three sixes' scenario, the 'horned beast' of firearms......not when it has a 5 rd cap mag..........my SKS would kick its arse all the way back to yankyville......

High cap mags....they need legislation....not semi-automatic 'whatevers'.......discuss

PS i own both an SKS & AR15

Mag changes take literally a second regardless of capacity. Legal restrictions on magazine size will not stop anyone who plans on breaking the law. No one is going to think "I'm going to shoot someone! But I'll only use a 7 round mag because anything else is illegal!"

Shooting people is illegal. People need to realise that if someone is planning on shooting people, they will have no qualms about breaking any number of other laws. Before legislating, prove that there will actually be some benefit, because otherwise you are simply restricting the freedoms of honest and law abiding people.
