Should I buy an SKS???

[Adam Helmer]

Big joe,

If you want an SKS, go buy it! Far too many folks in Peoples' Republiks of Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Great Britain can only think about such a purchase.

I bought my first SKS in the early 1990s that was new-in-box with sling, oiler, chest pouch and combo tools for $85! I shot it, liked it and went back for a few more. I reload for my SKSs and love them. I have one favorite I always carry on the farm. It is far better than the M1 Carbine it replaced for coyotes, chucks, other varmits and such like.

I suspect you could have bought a NEW SKS for under $100 in the past and I say you should have. Well, better late than never-go for it!
