Howdy folks. I don't know if I've been bit by the SKS bug or not. I have to ask questions before I can determine more about the SKS.
I have written common statements followed by questions.
1: "The SKS is a reliable rifle." On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate its reliability?
2: "The SKS is a cheap rifle." We all know it's cheap. I heard in the SHTF 101 thread you could get a case of 5 for $120 each. If something on your rifle breaks or doesn't doesn't work properly, how expensive is it to replace parts?
3: "The SKS will fire anything you feed it." Will it really? Have you had any personal experiences with ammo problems in your SKS?
4: I've seen some pretty cool mods to the SKS. How expensive is it to customize it?
5: I live in PRK. In order to own an SKS here, I have to make the magazine fixed. How expensive is it to do and is it reversable? Don't worry. If I can't keep it in PRK, I'll store it at my dad's house in ND until I get stationed elsewhere.
6: How accurate is it and what range is it effective?
*edited to add* What would you compare the recoil to?
