rifle back in the late 80s to 90s. I did see old pics of Militia's mostly armed with SKSs modified hicap mags and some ARs, mini 14s, scoped rifles and shotguns . Today the AR type reign supreme in small carbine firearms. Thanks to the surge in sales since 9 /11. And SKS prices have creeped up to the $300 -450 range depending on condition and country of origin.
