    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.

    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!!
