The venerable SKS.
I picked one up a few weeks ago. Chinese, numbers matching, pretty clean overall. Only mods are an optic mount top cover, cheese grater upper hand guard, and 30 round duckbill mag.
Got the original 10 round box with it, so put that back in. Took the scope mount off, an ordered 200 rounds of mil surp ammo (just for the stripper clips).
Shot it the first time this evening, took the corrosive primer ammo off of 4 strippers, ( he he he, that sounds dirty) and put Wolf soft point on.
All loaded fine, although 1 clip failed to pick up first round, I simply racked the charging handle again and all was good. Cycled an shot fine. Bolt held open properly. Much more tame than the AK's.
Wasn't shooting for accuracy, just function check. Hit a full size steel silhouette, about 30 yards center mass no problem. Very happy with my purchase at $300.00. It will be my dedicated "barn gun" I will get down and do some better accuracy testing when time allows.
