SKS or AK?

[4gunfun]

I really like my Russian sks. The Chinese para troopers are cool too with the 16" barrels. AK'S are great too. Can't go wrong either way.

What are you going to use it for?

Shoot cans...
Shoot deer...
Shoot paper...
Shoot whatever...
It can make a big difference.

I have a 5 shot SKS (the original mag was shortened) that I hunt with.

An SKS w/a fiber=optic front and a rear peep is a neat thing.

An AK w/a red=dot on the fore=end will really shoot. The one that I shot...I was able to hit everything that I pointed it at.

I plan to plink with it mostly. Don't want to go overboard on one on the off chance I dislike it. Not looking to hunt, just shoot targets. And hopefully some zombies soon.

I regret getting rid of my Norinco Sporter. Took Ak mags. Ate anything I would feed it. If you do get an sks, get one that takes ak mags. Don't mess with the tapco stuff. I would say that my old Sporter was just as reliable as any of the AK's I have owned.

I like the sks. Reason: sgworks.com

What ever you decide on, get it before next tuesday the latest. Any $5-599 AK is gone off store shelves as i type. Who knows what inventory is in transit to the noco dealers, however come tuesday night/wed morn. You will either be kicking yourself, or happy to know the $500 ones will be available for some time.
Jensens had a chicom sks for $300 monday afternoon.

Why choose? Get both!

AK. I have both.
I saw a list of benefits the Kalashnikov had over the Siminov design some yrs back online and though I can't recall them, they were many.

I have several AKs and honestly you can't go wrong with them. IMHO it is one of the best weapons your average joe can own. CHEAP ammo so you can actuaily afford to shoot/train with it, plus they dont cause BS and they are easy to use. BUT...I've shot several SKS and everytime I do I'm amazed at how wel they point, they just seem "right" to me for some reason. I stil haven't bought one yet, but there is jsut something about them that I love. They are like a low-capacity smoother AK.

That would have been mine, used to be.
