Great Chinese SKS deal!

[JeffreyLebowski]

while the price seems ridiculous, why all the sks hate? i have had one for over 18yrs, probably has 10k rnds through it, never a jam (and i think all i shoot through it is wolf), decently accurate to 75yds or so, a good plinker. i would definately consider it a "truck gun" though. i am surprised how much these things have gone up...damn, and now no bayonet? WTF??

and to the poster about semi, wtf are you thinking - sks=semi auto

The hate seems to stem from people that don't understand that the time of sub $100 commie guns is closing to an end. The SKS wasn't made for very long thus there aren't as many of them out there as the Mosin 1891's Let alone how many have made it to the US. I too remember being able to buy these bas the case load for this price, but I understand that prices go up as supplies go down.
The SKS is a good rifle, it is just limited to 10 rounds. For around $100 more you can get a Century WASR-10, but then you'd have to deal with a WASR.
