I tried to upload a picture of mine but cubeupload spat the image back and said it was notifying homeland security.
[QUOTE=Honesty;36154387]Don't.. they're the worst kind of SKS rifles.[/QUOTE] Why's that? I know the barrel isn't chrome lined before 1970 or something, but wouldn't it be better in quality than the Norinco? Some people tell me that Norinco has weak metal or something and that they break after 1000 rounds or something. I'd like a russian one, but unfortunately I don't have $500+ for one right now.

[QUOTE=Honesty;36154387]Don't.. they're the worst kind of SKS rifles.[/QUOTE] Never had a problem with them. Chinese SKS's are the shitty ones, though they aren't that bad either. Yugo's just don't have chrome lined barrels so you need to inspect the bore before you buy it. They're extremely well built rifles, built much sturdier than any other SKS due to the fact that they're built to fire grenades.

Also, if you fire corrosive ammunition through it, be sure to clean the fuck out of it right after you're done shooting, every time. Otherwise you'll be left with a nice, crusty, black bore.

Needs wood. [img]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b316/woodwardmpd/ColtAR-15.jpg[/img] Wood makes everything better.

Norincos are actually better range SKS' than Yugos IIRC. I think it goes: Yugo, Norinco, Romanian, Russian
Pretty much every SKS is better than the Yugo ones. The GL is worthless and the bore isn't anything to write home about. If you can get a ceremonial variant then you're really up for something good, but unless you want to pay a lot then Tula ones are the best.
I'd take a norinco over most Soviet ones.

[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;36161040]Except maybe those Albanian abominations?[/QUOTE] Forgot about those. Yeah, the vents in the handguard look horrible and the sling mount is a REALLY stupid idea.

I need help identifying some boolets, friends. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/afS11C.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/8dAl44.jpg[/t] They are arranged by size, pretty sure the second to last one is a blank. Provided for comparison on the far left is a 7.62x54mmR. Measurements: (Not counting the 7.62x54, working from left to right) Cartridge 1: ~53mm Cartridge 2: ~50mm Cartridge 3: Overall: ~65mm, ~50mm from where I assume the bullet would be Cartridge 4: ~45mm Markings on bottom Cartridge 1: FAMMAP 1942 Cartridge 2: 09-07, a circle with 4 dots in a square pattern on the other side Cartridge 3: L and C on the top, 6 and 7 on the bottom Cartridge 4: T and W on the top, 9 and 7 on the bottom
Middle one is a dummy round, noted by it's corrugated body and sealed primer hole Far right looks to be 5.56/.223 The one next to the x54r looks like German .308. I have a battle pack of that stuff.
Middle one is obviously a 7,62x51 [editline]2nd June 2012[/editline] Second from right is probably a 7,62x51 too. Some oddball blank variant I've never seen before
Just noticed the one next to the Nagant round has 7.65mm ARG written on it. [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] I'm confused you guys are saying the corrugated one is a dummy round but there's an actual bullet in it. How is that a dummy round?

Oh. Well then is it safe to try and yank the bullet out of the casing? [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] Fuck me that thing isn't coming out regardless. I don't think it's even a real bullet, the jacketing deformed and scraped REALLY easy when I tried to pull it out with pliers. Kind of makes me sad but oh well.
It's just a type of inert ammunition. They're used to function check the firearm. The one second from right is a [B]blank[/B], which has a primer and power charge. They say boom when you pull the trigger. [editline]2nd June 2012[/editline] Inert rounds sometime use soft metal cores and low grade quality jackets. It's normal for dummies, a couple 12,7 and 7,62 dummies I've handles had the same stuff. Some of the 7,62 had steel or aluminium casings too. [editline]2nd June 2012[/editline] The left one is a 7,65x53 Argentinian Mauser
I'd like to know what kind of blanks those two are though. I'm assuming they're of the same cartridge because the cartridges are the exact same size.
Read the post next time. 7,62x51mm NATO.
That last on on the far side is actually TW 67 if I'm looking at it right, not 97, and looking around it seems like it's a Twin Cities manufactured 5.56x45mm cartridge. The one next to it with the LC 67 headstamp is a 7.62x51mm NATO (.308) blank manufactured in Lake City, the one after with the crimped-in case actually has the headstamp of LC 60, from what I can tell, and it's a 7.62x51mm NATO (.308) from Lake City in 1960 that seems to have been reloaded sometime in its life to be a dummy round, the last one that you found 7.65 ARG on is 7.65x53mm Argentine used in the Argentinian Mausers and Argentine versions of the SAFN-49.
You did not say anywhere in your post it was 7.62x51mm NATO. Also not necessary that you be a dick.

Thanks guys for the info about the SKS! You guys are a big help, I was just basing that stuff out of what research i've done, I had a feeling that I should ask here too in the event that it wasn't enough, which it wasn't so thanks! :buddy: Just wondering, what gives the Norinco better range? Other than the chrome bore, what does it have that the Yugo doesn't? Just wondering. I didn't know that there were Romanian SKS', time to do some looking if there's any around. I do try to clean my firearms the best I can, so the corrosive ammunition part won't be too much trouble I don't think, I clean my Mosin the best I can before storing it, and all I really put through it is the surplus ammunition, and i'll make sure I inspect any SKS I look at the way I was told on here. Is there anything else I should know while looking for a SKS? Thanks again for the big help, guys :buddy:
Dude Romanians make less expensive knock offs of almost every Russian gun. AK-47? WASR-10 SKS? Romanian SKS SVD Dragunov? PSL
[QUOTE=deathmog;36162269]Just wondering, what gives the Norinco better range? Other than the chrome bore, what does it have that the Yugo doesn't? Just wondering. [/QUOTE] I think Van Kaeo meant that it's a better rifle to take to a range.
Okay lol, I should have thought that when I read it in the first place. (this migrane isn't helping much either) Really i'm just buying the rifle for the sake of shooting it, I don't exactly want to win any competitions with it, mostly looking at quality and whatnot, I guess i'll have to compare them side by side to really find out. @Van I know about the other Romanian rifles, just while I was quickly reading up on the SKS I didn't see anything on Romania making them as well. I shouldn't be surprised :V On that note, does anyone know how the Romanian compares to the Yugo and Norinco SKS'? Thanks again, everyone.
