Gun of The Day: Norinco SKS

Today I went down to the local gun store today and got myself a new primary arm, a Chinese Norinco SKS in 7.62mm x 39. It was only was $195 and came with a rail mount, scope , and a replacement 30-round magazine. I took it out with some Golden Tiger and dumped forty rounds through it with my second in command/comrade in arms. It still needs to be sighted-in but we still had fun. It seems like a good value. See my previous post on SKSs for more info and commentary. Here I am with in, minus the schope:



Caliber: 7.62x39 mm
Action: Gas operated, tilting bolt
Overall length: 1022 mm
Barrel length: 520 mm
