What advantages does a SKS have over an AK? I just realized that it has barely any.
Fit and finish: about the same, maybe a little better on the SKS compared to a WASR.
Capactiy: AK clearly wins.
Size: AK wins.
Weight: AK wins.
The only things I can think of that an SKS has over an AK is very minor accuracy increases and the lower price.
I just want to sell my SKS right now and get an AK. Theres nothing that the SKS has that the AK doesnt. Its just a heavy, huge rifle which uses stirpper clips which are hard to transport loaded unless you have a bandoleer or pouches, and lacks the magazine capacity that an AK has.
Im not trying to bash the SKS, I just realized that want an AK now and im trying to come up with reasons why I should keep the SKS instead of selling it.
