Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? ![]() Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

I love my Russian SKS. I've had it for a few years, and its been 100% reliable so far. No doubt that its a great alternative to an AK.

The thing I don't like about the SKS (at least the ones I've seen) is that they take stripper clips instead of mags.

yep, but you can put a high capacity magazine on them too. I haven't done that to mine--yet. I wasn't planning on doing it either because it's my "last resort" rifle. But with the gubment doing their "I know what's best for you" BS, I might just go ahead and put a high capacity magazine on this bad boy. It already has a synthetic stock that collapses. Fuggit.

I never have to worry about losing mags, or replacing them because they damaged or unreliable. On the bad side, it's a pain to have to reload by hand every 10 rounds. One of the Chinese SKS variants takes AK mags. |

Good points. I have a Garand that falls into the same category.

Here is a pic I found of the mag my sks takes. It's a funky looking contraption. I must be too refined, because that SKS is a closet piece. If I want to spray bullets it's Saiga time. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but any rifle that you can attach a bayonet to is considered an assalt rifle and the SKS is a bayonet rifle, so I'm screwed anyway, yes?

Most people chose Pistol grip for their "option".
