A friend gave me his Soviet SKS and 900 rounds of ball ammunition as well as a Marlin 80 .22 bolt action rifle. He no longer shoots and didn't want these around.
The SKS is an Izveshk from 1954 (my birthdate) and it is looking better that I do for the same amount of years.
I don't have a picture of the Marlin model 80 but I actually enjoyed shooting it more than the SKS as my failing eyes have trouble with the SKS sights. I was able to hit the range steel swinging targets at 200 yards with it with regularity. The targets are about a foot across but look like poker chips from 200 yards with iron sights!

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: Soviet SKS
Very nice SKS...
I have a Tula made one but sadly it's only straight pull to be UK useable.

Re: Soviet SKS
A friend who used to live in Minneapolis used to have an SKS that I shot a few times.
I was surprised how accurate it was albeit only had access to 100 yd range.
He moved to New Jersey and gave the SKS to a work mate as he thought it problematical to take it to NJ!
NJ hates guns. You need a licence for an air soft.
