Quote - None of the provisions such as Red Flag and enhanced background checks, which went into effect as Dyrdahl was making the illegal purchases for Gooden, had any deterrent effect on Gooden or Dyrdahl.

The nice folk at C&Arsenal ( YouTube etc ) Just released their history on the SKS.

I'm a SKS fan of sorts, it's a solid, reliable, and Steampunk carbine.

I had a Chinese version with a great trigger and I mounted a Scout scope ( wanted to try the sighting system, & it's easy and reasonable cheap way ) & it's pretty accurate. Not tiny group bragging rights, but great plinking shooter. (1)

Otoh I found a mint Yugoslavian SKS at a gun show, without bayonet, but with grenade launcher, for a buddy's wife. Unfortunately he says it sucks for accuracy. His Russian one is fine.

I consider that normal, to have variation in an industrial, pre computer era mass production military gun.

( assume here a long dissertationrant on Quality Control evolution from a pro who went through the changes )

Functionally, the Cartridge is a decent, intermediate cartridge, and a very early one. You can say it's based on the German 8mm Kurtz developed for the Sturmgewehr program. But it's not a copy! It's a case of capturing German rifles and ammo, and figuratively slapping your forehead and "Doh! So Obvious! Just adapt our existing designs." And the Russians had "a thing" for using the same caliber ammo, since you can use the same tooling for barrels, the most expensive in time & machining precision costs. Plus use/cut down rejected rifle barrels, for pistols and submachine guns.

Feel free to argue that the NATO 5.56 is superior, or a modern AR round like .300 Blackout. They are also years younger.

The SKS is overshadowed by It's replacement, the AK-47, but that's a Post War design, paradigm shift, weapon. The SKS is a 1930s design that is contemporary with the M1 Garand, so consider it a WW2 gun, just delayed into service by the War. And it's the Soviet era lead in adopting the Intermediate Cartridge philosophy. ( The Sturmgewehr's concept & development ended in '45 )

Plus, as a pre war, wood stocked, machined receiver and parts style design, ( before stamped sheet metal era ) the look, is a mix of old school rifles from the 19th century and industrial steam age esthetic, exposed tubes and cylinders. Really funky and Steampunk to a modern eye used to polymer and sheet metal or cast/forged aluminum.

Typically the biggest complaint about the SKS is the magazine system. Which is a conservative design choice for It's day. Replaceable, interchangeable, magazines were either expensive, fragile, or not very interchangeable pre war.

So, while I'd rather have an AK ( or AR, FAL, etc. ) in a Zombie apocalypse, the stripper clip system isn't that bad, and faster than a tube magazine.

Good video. I learned stuff!


Note (1)
Plinking is my favorite shooting sport.
And the "coke can" long my favorite target, with heavy rationalization as to why. : )

A pop can is small enough that it's a satisfying long range target. And a practical hunting target, being roughly deer heart size, ( so smaller than required ) or a well fed squirrel. And if you're good, or close, enough that it's not a challenging enough target, aim for individual graphics on the can, like the letter "O". : )

Since there's a drug addict and gun felon ( case pending & he says he's clean. Sure! ) in residence at the White House, it should be a gun free red flagged location.
