New member here so I thought id start out by posting a pic of some of my Norinco pre ban D's.

jmp8927 · 03-20-2008, 08:14 PM

Daaaang.....you wouldn't happen to be up for selling one would you? I'd love to have an SKS that will use AK-47 mags.

I'll have to wait a bit of time before I buy something...funds are less than I'd like. I might just check back in a month or so though...I've always wanted a SKS-D.

criminalpoet · 03-20-2008, 09:30 PM

They are awsome weapons I just love mine! I started out with a Norinco standard type of SKS with the 10rd mag, but I wanted higher ammo capacity so I bought a couple of 30rd duckbill mags. Well, I had them custom cut and still could only load them 23 rounds before having feeding issues. So I sold the Norinco and bought an AK lol. I liked the AK but still missed certain things about the SKS and then I came accross a collector that had these, so I bought them and never turned back. Definitely the best SKS out there IMO.

I'm definitely interested in the idea. I emailed you.

WISCSHOOTER · 04-05-2008, 12:52 AM

Looking good.

First off criminal poet, welcome to G&G.

Now, as for the pics of your SKS's. Very nice looking rifles. Wish i could afford one from you. Seriously, but I can't. I'd like to get another version of it other than the Yugo 59/66. Dam those look real clean... Well done.

Hey here's a thought, save one for me. If I sell my '73 Dodge Charger tomorrow or anytime soon, or my motorcycle, I might be able to get one. lol Shhhhhh, don't tell my wife though, what she don't know won't hurt her.

marion57 · 04-05-2008, 02:30 AM

Welcome CP
Those are gorgeous rifles!

criminalpoet · 04-06-2008, 09:16 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys! I am really pleased with my D's!

Mooseman684 · 04-06-2008, 09:24 PM

Those are the TRUE collector Rifle SKS...You were smart to grab them and stash them...Never saw one in Alaska except for the cheap Thumbhole version.
I'm Impressed !

I'm impressed too and tempted, but other gun needs will come first. I've got to have another concealed carry pistol and a Leveraction rifle for ma Deer Hunting.
It would be interesting in knowing there worth or what you would take for one though...A.H

SKS's run between 150 to 250 for a Yugo in good to excellent condition. Prices do vary. Yugos are solid well built rifles that carry well and shoot straight. There are several varieties out there, but the Yugo is most abundant right now.

Oh, and an SKS with soft point bullets make an excellent deer rifle in the brush. With hand loads Ballistics comparable to 30-30 . So why not just kill two birds with one stone and pick up an SKS and hunt deer with it. You can even scope the SKS if you want all that sissy stuff on it.

SwedeSteve · 04-07-2008, 10:36 AM

I'm thinking I'll go look around the shops today...
