Chinese SKS (Military) / Re: Jungle Stock on 11 million Factory 26 - Canada
« Last post by Larry D. on May 18, 2019, 12:27:15 PM »There's a guy on the AKFiles that has 4 of this type of stock (with handguard) for sale.
He says they're mint condition.
For my personal tastes, I'm a wood and steel type of guy.

Chinese SKS (Military) / Re: Sight settings
« Last post by Larry D. on May 18, 2019, 12:23:22 PM »^^+1
The rear most setting on the sight leaf-- (П, III, 3, D, etc.) -- is the "battle setting." This setting is equivalent to the 300meter setting. In this position, you should be able to hit the enemy from 1-100 meters if you aim at center mass.
Glad you posted this.
I had been told that this was a 200 meter zero.

I went back to the fixed 10, best option for bench shooting. And I didn’t like having to lock the bolt open if you wanted to swap mags before you shoot the last round.
I put a fixed 20 on my first SKS back in the 90s when they were cheap and it worked great, but they’re pricey these days. At least Tapcos are cheap.
If the Asian drums run as poorly as my Asian 10 round mag I’d pass.

Chinese SKS (Military) / Re: Need help staying as true to original issue equipment as possible
« Last post by Greasemonkey on May 17, 2019, 11:13:38 AM »One weird thing that China did was name two rifles the Type 56....both the SKS and the Chinese AK ended up getting the same title
It's not the first time 2 totally different weapons share the same title... the US military did it all the time... M1917 Enfield and M1917 Revolver, M3 Grease gun and M3 .30 Carbine, M1941 Johnson machine gun and M1941 Johnson rifle
Quote
the 'auto rifle' part indicates these were for the AK T56.
Auto does not always mean automatic..... auto could simply mean.... an auto loading rifle(not a bolt action, the weapon fires and reloads automactily after the first cocking action)......Browning very commonly uses the term auto on semiauto rifles... the Browning BAR, Browning Automatic Rifle, a popular hunting rifle in .300 Win Mag and other cailbers, Browning Auto 5 a semiauto shotgun, or a like a L1A1 SLR.. Self Loading Rifle like a FAL... or FSA....... Fully Semi Automatic.

I like the leather tab slings as they don't put near as much wear and tear on your bluing and stock. Both types can be a mother bear to get on and off too. I'd much rather have a lather tab that I can cut if need be (replacement tabs can be easily had for $1 each) than a coil that I can't.
