Full Auto SKS

Zip to 19:45 for the SKS discussion :

About the only thing they said that is correct is that the cyclic rate on a FA SKS is ridiculous fast.  TOO fast.

The Type 63 isn't really an SKS either....more of a hybrid between an AK and an SKS....but not exactly that either.
They also never had thumbhole stocks....and they used 20 round AK type magazines....not AK magazines per se.

IV8888 was mildly entertaining when I first got into collecting, but he is often factually wrong or showing people how to refinish a perfectly good milsurp, so I just don't enjoy him much anymore.

[Bacarnal]

Let's see.  His "D" is a modified "M" cut to accept drum mags.  Looks like the flash hider I used on my Sporter that I put in an original SKS stock.  Other than that, just two Bubba's (no offense BZ ) talking about guns heavy on opinions and light on facts .

[Justin Hell]

I wonder if the Chinese opted for 20 round T63 mags was because by the time you made it to 30 your muzzle rise would be vertical?

I used to watch them to see variations of guns. But I can't take the dude on the left anymore, is his name Eric? I watch joe public stuff before I watch them anymore.

Think they welded the firing pin forward on that "type 63"?

Yeah, Eric, he's Mr. IV8888. The other cast members come and go. I mean he's likable as a person, kinda folksy and laid back, but his info and opinions on milsurps turns me off from his channel in an informational sense.

That would simply empty the mag the second you charged it....in whatever direction it was pointing initially...and depending on the magazine size, eventually end up skyward.

This reply is for future generations reading this..... THAT ISN'T HOW IT"S DONE, and IT SHOULDN'T BE DONE EVEN THE RIGHT WAY kids.

It kind of irks me that they say that M is full auto.....I seriously doubt it is a legal mod, as far as the govt is concerned, and it promotes dangerous behavior that is bad for the gun community in general.  The cyclic rate and lack of a muzzle device makes the whole idea foolhardy, wasteful and dangerous.  It permanently destroys several trigger components....if done properly, and I have the distinction of purchasing a trigger group from some eBay jackhole, having to replace said components to make it functional....and the idiot didn't even do it properly, so it didn't work AT ALL as a consequence.

I did learn that Yugo hammers are different than other hammers though as a result, can't remember what the heck it was....but it required assistance working in a Chinese group....via grinder.

I was under the impression this subject is kinda taboo, but hopefully as long as the discussion leans towards how stupid the idea is, it can serve as an educational tool for the future.

In the last two weeks, I have had neighbors tell me that if they got an SKS, they would make it full auto....so my pet peeves are a bit piquey right now.

[Bubbazinetti]

I was only being facetious.What they were doing to a SKS just seemed ridiculous.

Oh, I know....I just figured it needed a bit of a rebuttal before someone does something silly.

Wow, just wow. That first couple of sentences about the SKS and the various "types" was confounding. Made my ears hurt. lol

And saying that the Chinese developed a select fire SKS as the Type 63?      They need to delete that entire SKS segment from the video. 

FA SKS...

IV8888 definitely screwed up. Publishing bogus info wrt "full-auto", no bueno.

[Shoot The Refurbs]

You'd imagine with as many as passed through his hands he would know better   

[Bubbazinetti]

They probably got caught up in their own egos.
