YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!!!!!They had some Norinco SKS's at Cabela's in LaVista yesterday, they were pretty tempting and they even used detachable mags. I am trying to hold myself to getting a lighter/cheaper to feed bolt action first (probably Savage) I want to get something in the SKS's genre (AR, AK, SKS) it is easy to dicker back and forth on which one is better. For every good area one gun has, it also has a weakness that another gun shines in and vice versa.
Owning a WASR-10 (AK derivative) as well as an SKS, they are NOT the same category..... like comparing an M1 to an AR - different principles in design. One is a carbine and the other is an assault rifle. The AK is a helluva lot smaller than the SKS, and the SKS has a longer barrel and better accuracy. Besides, depending on state laws, you cant have a large capacity magazine anyways, so unless you want to be able to store your rifle in a pond and still have it operable, SKS > AK. I love the SKS, but the AK is basically the "I dont care what shitty ammo I feed it" plinker. First firearm was an 8mm Mauser, so getting a .22LR plinker wouldn't seem right to me...
