I use a Soviet SKS carbine as a knockabout gun. Bought for under $100 a couple of decades ago. It is heavily worn from sliding around on camping trips etc. I wouldn’t use any gun with much value for that especially since it could get stolen being carried in a vehicle.
JCooperfan1911,
I agree with you and keep my SKS with me when I go to the farm....problem is that 100.00 gun is nowadays worth around 400-500 my area.
