I bought my first SKS way back in the 80's for a whopping $59.00. Over the years I have owned several and have never been disappointed with any of them in any way. Yesterday I made a trade at a small Pawn/Gun shop for a SKS with 16 1/2 " barrel which I believe is called the Paratroop model, took it down today expecting to find tons of gunk and other nasty left over stuff. Instead this thing is so clean, it looks like it was brand new. It is from Norinco and so far all serial # are matching and I really love it. It came with one metal 30rd mag and I had two of the synthetic 30rd but they didn't fit worth a darn so pulled out the dremel tool and sanded the mag well so it would fit easily. Wound up putting a fixed 10rd mag I had and think I will keep it that way Guess you can still get a good rifle at times, and at same time I picked up a Winchester Model 70 in 300WM with the B.O.S.S. system on it. I have seen these before but this is first time I have had one in my possession. According to manual it is suppose to adjust to a sweet spot so you can really get tight grouping and it stated that it can reduce recoil from 30% - 50% but will be extremely loud because of the way the BOSS is designed. Will see by this weekend.
