[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;33545549]Do you guys think an SKS is a worth while gun?[/QUOTE] It's cheap, ammo's cheap, and it's a fun little gun. I know they cost more down there, but they're still a nice, fun little gun. Don't expect accuracy like in BF3, though, they're definitely not a sniper (stupidest classification of a carbine ever).

I wouldn't call em little weighing as much as they do. That said, thing kicks like a .22 as far as I'm concerned.

Considering one of the guns I learned on was the Lee-Enfield, I'm a terrible gauge of weight, and a lot of guns feel nice and light/easy to carry, even ones that customers complain are heavy. Also, the SKS has a little kick, more than a .22, which feels like it has absolutely no kick at all to me.

Your a bad judge of weight and I'm a bad judge of recoil.
I have a bayonet for an SKS around here somewhere. Not sure if its Yugo, Russian or Romanian.
[QUOTE=Mabus;33555735]I have a bayonet for an SKS around here somewhere. Not sure if its Yugo, Russian or Romanian.[/QUOTE] You had to get it separate? Almost all the ones around here have them built-in, and if they don't nobody buys them.

Bought a .22 conversion for my P228, thus further ensuring I never have to use my expensive reloading equipment :P
I was gonna buy a Tapco stock for it. I want to have a the magazine that can be removed to reload it.

But the BORE is POOR, not RICH!
[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;33558272]I was gonna buy a Tapco stock for it. I want to have a the magazine that can be removed to reload it.[/QUOTE] Because I have Alzheimer's Disease I thought you posted the picture of the lever gun. And wanted to put a tapco stock on it with a detachable mag. And so I almost had a stroke... Anyway I like the look of an SKS with the tapco stock but it's illegal where I am so just make sure your following the laws and have fun. P.S iirc you can fit ak drum mags on to an sks with that detachable mag modification. Pce.
It's perfectly legal where I live. I just hate stripper clips. I also love a good lever-action rifle. I prefer a marlin in 30-30, with a walnut stock though.
Fair enough, strippers are a pain in the ass. Well then if you like the look of a tapco and want to drop a couple pounds of a ten pound gun then go ahead. LOVE 30-30!!! Almost as much as 45-70. Been wanting to get a lever for a long time, unfortunately the only one my local store had was a .35 rem for 1500. Far too much for me!
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33555788][t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22107915/norske greier/IMG_1034.JPG[/t] Went shopping today[/QUOTE] That jacket is from 1975 and is still standard issue in norway :v: Sure, we got goretex-uniforms too, but there's not really anything better to use in nordic winters, even though shitloads of uniforms are undergoing testing by officers. The ugly colors is because they experimented with summer and fall patterns, but the idea was scrapped after several years as the idea of giving everyone two jackets just because they had different patterns were quite a bad idea. There's the third, "new" version which has the same pattern as rest of the uniform. If you like how the jacket feels, get the navy blue one. They look far better than the green, and they don't have a pattern, so you can look completely normal while having a goddamn rugged and cheap jacket. I'm not sure if the bayonet is for the Ag3, but those gloves are undergloves for the hazmat suit, unless they are someone that look exactly like those :v:
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33564620]The bayonet is for the AG3. The gloves are in wool, so I don't think they're used for ABC/NBC suits.. :v: [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] I kind of like the Norwegian camo pattern. It's sort of unique and it looks pretty good. The desert version is rad as well.[/QUOTE] They are the undergloves for the suit :v: They seem kinda old, but the "new" ones are marked as ABC/NBC suit undergloves.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33564760]I'm going back to swap my jacket with one that's a size bigger (I'm far too tall for size 3) on tuesday though, so I'll get a pistol belt and some utility pouches for it as well. A friend has some old MOLLE pouches laying around, so I might get some ALICE clips and mount them to the pistol belt. [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] Huh, okay. The more you know.[/QUOTE] Are you swapping them at a depot, or what?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33564912]No, just the surplus store I bought the stuff at. "Depotsjefen", close to the Hydro Aluminium plant on Karmøy.[/QUOTE] Nice webshop :v:

I really dunno why the previous version had the rank on the shoulder, really hard to see who's what.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33565286]Hey what, the new mods don't have the shoulder straps? [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] Mine is an old surplus M75, so the camo pattern has faded a bit. When I swap it for a size 4 one I'll get one with slightly stronger colours and the norwegian flag (mine has it removed).[/QUOTE] Well, it's removed because sale of uniforms with the flag or kings mark is illegal :v: Wearing the flag or kings mark is basically identifiying yourself as a part of the armed forces. M98 is outphased, we use M04 now, new jacket/shirt and new pants. These are made out of cotton, the old ones were made out of the same stuff as the M75 pants, sturdy but ugly. The M75 field jacket still uses the shoulder pads, but M04 only has small buttons on the shoulders for "weapon ropes", small twisted ropes marking medics and such, in addition to MP shoulder pads. Rank markings are moved to the front of the chest (Because who would want to peek over the shoulder of an officer going "Good morning, uhhhmm, *checks shoulder* - lieutenant!". [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6218060/Ole/Web/IMAG0072.jpg[/IMG] On the shoulders we only have these small buttons that aren't really used for anything but these ropes.

[editline]4th December 2011[/editline] Remember to switch it out whenever the camo is faded, as it means it's not water-resistant anymore :v:
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33565614]Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. Odd, because mine was one of two jackets out of ~50 that didn't have the Norwegian flag on the left shoulder. v:v:v I kind of like how the M04 (and M98?) uniform has dark green, green and beige instead of dark green, green and brown. Gonna get one of those to actually wear and use, as the M75 is more or less just for collecting, in addition to it being slightly worn and faded. [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] I guess the shoulder strap thingies are obsolete now as you use MOLLE rigs and vests, right? The M75 set was used together with the ALICE/pistol belts and "kryssreimer" for those, IIRC.[/QUOTE] The shoulder straps were kinda obsolete from the beginning, as any equipment should be easy to throw off if needed. The cross belts are, well, cross belts, they wont slide off, so they aren't fastened under the shoulder straps (if fastened, the wouldn't be easily removable, as required by any worn equipment). [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] Hardly anyone bothers removing markings from articles nowadays. Uniforms that are ucrrently issued are hard to get by, as they aren't supposed to be sold/given away to civilians. I wouldn't wear anything but the pants were I you :v: The nicest are the M75 field pants in desert. Durable as hell, but no camo or anything like that. [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] Dunny why I'm rambling about my uniform though.
Well, went down to the Orangeville gun show today looking for an SVT, I found a couple, actually. The only problem is they cost way too much. Guy was asking $400 for one with no scope mounts, same price I can get one with, and I can get the same one he was offering for $280. I found, also, exactly what I was looking for, SVT-40 with a scope already mounted on it. It was a really well done reproduction, they even dated it 1943 and had a serial number on it. The only problem is the mount was Parkerized and the scope was immaculate, meaning it was a reproduction, no scope survives a war that well and none of the old Russian stuff was ever Parkerized. The guy was asking $1200 for it, way too expensive for the package, it's only worth about $700. About the only thing they had decently priced there (even the ammo was too expensive, $190 for 440 rounds) were the bayonets for it, I only saw one, but it was $200, about the median price for one.

[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33567246]Obviously, considering they're all outdated and outphased. Steel helmet with a plastic inner helmet. The gas mask is comfortable as fuck though. :v:[/QUOTE] Just saying you could have gotten most likely better value for your money, Ie digital camo, a half cut helmet etc.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33568885]I bought it because I like how it looks + it's Norwegian surplus If I wanted butt ugly ACU I'd buy it[/QUOTE] Digital camo is muuch much more advanced than the older camos, And i'm sure you can find norwegian digital camo somewhere. But then again if you're into reactments then i'm sure the old stuff will work just fine.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33569839]Norwegian military forces don't use digital camo. And how is digital camo more "advanced"? It looks terrible and a good, traditional camo is better than the soup of colours digital camo is.[/QUOTE] The main purpose of modern camos is to hide you from the snipers, The digital camo is exactly what the name describes it to be: Camo that's generated digitally based on thousands of pictures of the surroundings of the area where it's suppose to be used. To naked a human eye the digital camo is "dynamic" in a sense, If viewed from a distance it blends in well with the surroundings and it "changes" as you move(when viewed from a distance it appears more of a blob rather than a dot, It's not a ghillie but it's the best general alternative you can get for a reasonable price). And also since its very detailed and all of them are unique, its harder for a human eye to focus on it even at close range. This can give you those extra few milliseconds more time to make your move.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33569839] And how is digital camo more "advanced"? It looks terrible and a good, traditional camo is better than the soup of colours digital camo is.[/QUOTE] Yeah clearly the people who developed digital camo have no idea what the fuck they are doing :downs:
On the sidenote here's some new russian camos, Most of them wont be supplied them for a long time but the spetsnaz will most likely get to try these. Just something to be aware of. [url]http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2010/07/13/new-uniform-of-the-russian-army[/url]
