The AK is a squared-off beer can with a bunch of stuff sticking out of it in all directions.
The SKS is a rifle, made the way they should be, out of a heavy block of crappy commie steel, set in an inletted semi-reshaped 2x4.
They're both amusing. The SKS is a better tool for hunting, etc.
I like the Ruger Mini's ergos, balance, weight and size better, but you can buy a closet full of SKS's for the same money. And the SKS has a bayonet.
Seriously, buy an SKS or two. But don't ask about the "point."
