I hate when sks are all done up, just doesnt look right.
Can you but "Matchgrade" trigger groups for an sks?
How accurate is it really, I want a pretty accurate gun.

Birdmane you will definitely be happy with it.

SKS are awesome.  Try to get a Russian or Yugo (without grenade launcher gas system thing)

-strippper clips are fast
-it will be more accurate than you, unless you were secretly on top shot
-easy to clean/maintain.

I don't like shooting corrosive ammo on guns with gas tubes/pistons but corrosive and non corrosive can be found real cheap.

Each different make of sks is slightly different... Some have decent triggers, some have absolute shit triggers. I like the yugo's and the soviets, *some* norincos are decent too. Even then, each individual gun is different so you'll just have to feel them out. Machining in the 70's in soviet bloc countries wasn't as consistant as modern machining.

With decent ammo and using iron sights you should be able to hit 3-4 moa easily if you know what you're doing.

They'll never have a "match grade" trigger but no assault rifle should ever have a light, short trigger. That's not the point of the rifle.

Damn, my long response got beat by Bird. Lol

I have a yugo m59/66a1 (with the grenade launcher) and it's been great to me... But now we're getting into specifics.

Up here you can get 1120 round crates of 7.62x39mm for $200 of the corrosive czech mill surp. I haven't come across any cheap non-corrosive ammo for it yet, and hunting rounds are about $22/20 rounds. Sks's just plain look cool, just a big knife with a gun attached to it.

Looks like I'll be getting an SKS then.
My buddie just bought a mosin, going shooting on the 2nd.

Tactical Machining Jig came today.

I get russian steel by the crate and yugo brass on stripper clips by the crate.  Real cheap and something like 1200 rounds for $169 delivered.

The yugo on strips is ideal for the SKS because you just grab a strip and load.

I get Herters/wolf/brown bear from cabelas for 1.99/20.  When I want to shoot a lot and plan on detail cleaning the gun, I shoot corrosive.  When I just shoot a little and plan on running a snake and calling it a day, I shoot wolf/non corrosive.

Don't buy brass unless you are shooting to find the most accurate stuff or hunting.  

The U.S. made ammo for x39 is under loaded, just like EVERY US made ammunition.  

The old yugo is the best IMO.

My new setup.

[BOUNCEHOUSE420]

anybody ever put wpa .223 through an AR?

[Birdmane]

Yes its the same as wolf.

My DPMS with light tolerances/not a tight fit anywhere on the gun, took it fine.

My buddies RRA Elite Operator jammed so bad and then snapped the head off of the bolt carrier.  I would stick to brass if its a nice, tight AR.
