    I want an AK at what they retail for in shit hole countries. But that's the price you pay for a standard of living in a 1st world country - greedy, retarded retailers.

    Anyone done an SKS build? Here's mine.

    I read a book recently on the AK. All machine guns from Gatling to the Ak really was the 1st half. Rest was on Kalashnikov.
    Is a new one - cant remeber the author as its at home. Called 'the rifle - history of the AK' if I remember right.
    For what it said, $400us is about a cheap as they in peace times. If someone is arcing up apparently the price almost doubles.
    You can buy a nice 56S here for 1000-1200 all the time

    When I get round to doing my E endorsement, one of the first guns I think I will buy will be a minty 56S. Always wanted one.

    Now those are nice stocks perhaps too good for what goes in them.

    I paid $1200 for mine few years ago
    They come up at 1000-1200 all the time
    All the ones at auction the other month went in that range

    Did a bit of work on the SKS today. Got the mags in, worked on the stock a little and got the scope rail installed.











    I still have to get the shell deflector installed but that's going to need some modification to work with this mount. May have to see if I can drill & tap the receiver again just for the deflector and chop the deflector up a bit.

    Getting there though. It's already threaded for a can. I'm just going to matte black my 30 cal can.

    The scope isn't mental high on this either. I was expecting it to be. The low rings help with that.

    Nice work guys...

    I actually ended up sourcing and buying more wood for my SKK - I melted my plastic stock... yes melted - You could see the barrel actually sinking further and further down into it... mind you, went through 1000 rounds that weekend.... those mags are sooo thirsty!!

    Styer mags? Didn't think they would feed x39 reliably
