Is that picture okay to have posted up? I didn't know if it was an issue having the clip in.

Actually not to be "one of those guys" but it's not a clip, a clip is what is used to load the magazine. Just a lil bit of info for fun

Correct. Like an M1 Garand (the clip gets ejected once the mag is empty).

alot of people are interested because of its rarity or the wow factor that you own an SKS. Personally I prefer a custom build AR-10 but thats just me i like my stuff custom and top of the line! In all reality its probably the wow factor or collector item appeal. SKS's are great guns hold onto it and enjoy!

I know when I first got my POF 6.8SPC I had offers of $6k for the gun and I was like HELL NO! its a 3yr waiting list buddy! I dont want to wait that long! lol

GL Banning and enjoy the SKS

Damn that long of a wait for the pof??? HOLY SH*T!

I'm curious what is better, the .308 or the 6.8? What are the disadvantage and advantage over the other. The .308 uses the 7.62 ammo right? But the 6.8 suppose to be just as strong as the 7.62. Also, the 5.56 lower rec and the 6.8 lower rec are the same size and you don't have to buy a a whole new lower rec. Other than that I don't know other than the 7.62 being a bigger caliber bullet.

Personally, I prefer the .308 Win (aka 7.62x51). It packs a little more punch at longer ranges than the 6.8SPC, and perhaps more importantly, it's a much more popular cartridge, which means you can always find plentiful ammo in this caliber, and lots and lots of different guns to shoot it in. It's got really great ballistics for a short cartridge which can be used easily in semi-auto designs. You can step up from .308 to bolt-action guns in the magnum calibers for better long range work (like .300WinMag, 7mm Rem Mag, the Ultra versions, and penultimately the .338 Lapua, which is about as badass as you get without going .50BMG), but rifles in those calibers tend to be a whole lot bulkier and heavier - the .308 is a nice practical sweetspot for tactical and hunting use.

6.8SPC is still a bit of a specialty round, and who knows, 10 years from now it may die off in popularity, making ammo or reloading components harder to find.

Why would a picture of a gun with a clip in it be a no-no? If it is a no-no, then I'm in trouble (look at post 30). lol

Hard to say. Probably around $450? I just Googled 'Norinco SKS' and there appear to be quite a few forum threads on the value of this gun. You might want to look through those threads.

Damn I was offered $800 a while back. Maybe I should have taken it.

semtex · 08-27-2009, 02:45 PM

Hey I just had an idea. You could take it to Antiques Roadshow. That'd be hilarious, you walking in with an SKS slung around your shoulder wanting an appraisal. I'd pay money to watch that.

bullitt5897 · 08-27-2009, 02:46 PM

LOL! I would do it!

BanningZ · 08-27-2009, 04:21 PM

Nice I found one on gunbroker. Weird I could never find one like mine in the past on there and I just googled it, and Bam!
