I'm not knocking them--I have " a few" and they are great fun to shoot. Get one with a nice trigger and with the right ammo it can be very accurate. There's a guy who goes by Kivaari who does trigger jobs on SKSes and is well regarded.

One was damaged having a broken safey lever. I figured that I could fix it. Right! After struggling with it for a week after even building tools for it, I ended up sending it to him to be repaired and tweaked. Now it's a great trigger with zero creep and a nice let-off. And, the safety works. Rome Might as well include his address: http://www.kivaari.com/ A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.

I paid $150 for one and $79 for the other, and now it's getting hard to find any SKS under $300. The one I bought for $79 looked almost brand new and came with the logbook too. I'd like to get a Russian SKS so I might sell one of my Yugos, but in terms of accuracy they are both good - better than the pricier Kalashnikovs. For a "carbine" firing an assault rifle caliber they are large and heavy, which makes them very stable and easy to shoot rapidly.
