[@Canadian_Whiskey]

I love the SKS one of my top 5 favourites. I own a Soviet 1951 all matching Tula sks with the CCCP stamped right above the safety. I thought that was pretty cool, & I oddly happen to like the trigger pull on my sks. I also made my stripper clips into 5 rounders it’s so much better and more faster/compact to manage. Ps. I paid $439.99 cad. I believe that’s the cheapest available price on the market as of 2021 so get them while you can.

[@calbowman4588]

50 years ago the SKS was a highly regarded military rifle. I have a 1952 Russian Tula. My trigger pull is great on mine maybe you should check out why yours is a heavy squeeze? I put a ATI Strikeforce Tactlite stock with a Scorpion recoil system. It’s a foldable stock which makes it good in the bush for wild boar, coyotes, etc. I still have the original 1952 stock. Stripper clips are great, I have a hundred of them.

[@juliogonzo2718]

I found if you pinch the mouth of a fired .223 cartridge so it will engage the flats on the sight post, it will fit through the hole in the hood and adjust elevation.

[@Urkie1979]

Not too long ago, I had switched the stock on my Soviet 1952 Tula SKS to an ATI Fiberforce. It looks nice but now, since the new stock is black, there is no contrast. So, I may switch back to the original configuration (I'm kind of partial to wood ans steel anyway). Except for the rear sight, that is. When "Tacticooling" it, I also switched out the rear notch for a peep that I bought off CanadaAmmo. Regardless of anything else, THAT will be remaining if I decide converting it back to stock. I don't hunt (yet), but I have toyed with the idea of taking the hunter safety course just to be able to walk in the bush with it, even if I don't actually take down anything..I better acquire some SP ammo for the thing, then =)

2 years hence from video post. It is a sad day in Canada. SKS are now 500bux. I got one 2 weeks ago. My only regret is.. i wish i had done it sooner. Got my RPAL in Oct 2020 after a 19month wait. The SKS is my #9 firearm. It is a Russian 1950. One thing i learned after i got it. The 1949 / 1950 are the only ones that have a spring on firing pin instead of the free floating ones. The first firearm I got was the Mossberg 590A1 retro. Others are a .308 CZ and Savage 6.5 Creedmore. Glock .45 and S&W M&P 9. As for the SKS, i am taking it to the range in a few days for first time.

[@DeadMarine1980]

I picked up my Yugo SKS earlier this month. And I love it. A 10 round Simi, sits in a nice spot. But one thing I've noticed with this weapon....it gets hot, fast! This will be the first time I'll be considering getting shooting gloves. Oh....and being that I got the Yugo version I got the dreaded bad valve in the gas tube. But! It was an easy fix, 27 dollars and 10 minutes later it was working. Oh being that I have a Yugo mine also has flip night sites. They all but faded. And I already have some glow paint on it's way. So I'll have extra "sites" for my rifle.

I own a Chinese sks and it's super acurate. I can only imagine how accurate the Rushian sks is. Im a us patriot and I own mostly guns made in America. That being said I'd still take my sks to war if I had to. It would be my 2nd choice. My AR 15 goes first tho

Nice review. First time viewer. My complements. . . . . After much 'hum and hawing', and watching the price climb over the year, I decided to "pull the trigger" (sorry, couldn't help myself) and purchase one. You are correct, in Canuckistan, it seems the rifle is now being sorted and categorized by stores/outlets... The poorest quality is still available at $229.00 (non Russian/Soviet). The next level up is $299-$399.00 (depending on store. Russian/Chinese). The Best quality available is now at $499.00 to $550.00 (Russian). . . Seems like it would be an excellent plinker (cost) and tool for instructing family members into the world of firearms - centrefire/Hunting). We were looking at a rimfire at @ $400.00 - 500.00, but decided on this platform, for ALL the reasons that you mentioned. . . Thank you.

@@-Cheif Exactly, but were $275 before.

[@-Cheif]

Jason Klein yeah they’ve gone up in price the last few years, thankfully they didn’t spike due to the ban however

[@MrJasoncklein]

@@-Cheif In my opinion, the ban greatly contributed as most of the reasonably priced centre fire semi-autos were banned. The SKS now is the only option for many people and the increased demand means they sell for a lot higher.

[@archer721]

Hey Canada, are you going to be "allowed" to keep your SKS's?

[@Huntinggearguy]

For now

[@muneeralbaghdadi8747]

Good video

[@mefirst5427]

5 rounds only? That is just crazy. What is the logic, that 6th round is too deadly?

[@Huntinggearguy]

Most of Canadian gun control is not logical.

[@dominionfrawd6463]

Hey, can i detach the bayonet? Will that bayonet cut your shoulder back?

[@Huntinggearguy]

Yeah, there's a screw that you can remove and then remove the bayonet. The bayonet is not sharp, not sure if that helps with your question.

[@dominionfrawd6463]

@@Huntinggearguy Thank you for your kind answer. I just wonder if someone breaks into my home with a gun and if I charge him with that stuck bayonet, probably he will shoot me first.

[@hendrikenting8372]

You said around $200 CAD ?? That’s over Twice that

[@chadcowman6293]

Where would I find a new sks. Everywhere I look they all falling apart

[@jumpninthedarkalley]

Lol. Here in Canada right now, because of stuff apparently happening In Russia, these are in high demand and are 500$ for a piece of crap and 600$ even 650$ for a fresh refurb or mint/near mint condition.

[@jimmackin4787]

owned sks from the 90's not following your problem with the trigger pull

[@AdrianWyrzykowski]

i love mine!!!

[@joedefazio1464]

I have a norinco I like the trigger compared to some other milsurp

[@tcaves3053]

Damn you can buy a scope and site over it or under it and a sks carry case with will pack all with a sling.

[@sportsman2159]

Don't think the sks comes in 8k

[@300whiteout9]

I finished my hog kill with my bayonet

[@thricecrazy33]

id love to see a 500 yard shot with an SKS ...7:43

[@Huntinggearguy]

I'll record it next time I'm at the range.

[@73F100]

I am not sure that when these were issued to thousands of conscripted peasants that the manufacturers were too concerned about the trigger pull.

[@m.7n6]

also in the usa we are allowed to conceal rifles in a rack in the truck, and in the trunk as self defense, Michigan where i live we can have everything canada is not allowed to have. try looking into usa a lil more before comparing

[@daveleno2246]

Let's compare gun related homicides Michigan vs Canada, bro.

[@sharpsvilleBill]

@@daveleno2246 #1 A relatively small State like Michigan has a pop of 10M. Canada (the country) only has 39M. #2 Canuckland doesn't have the American black attitude problem either.

[@salish.nation]

Those ahem, "rubbery" yet somehow leather thingys hold 40 rounds comfartably.

[@Huntinggearguy]

Stacked one row up, then one row down, sure, but I find them a pain in the ass to pull out if they're bullets up because the bullets snag on the edge of something when I pull them out.

[@salish.nation]

@@Huntinggearguy fair enough . im looking from a wartime utilitarian perspective but i suppose the Gerry's or Charlie isnt gonna be popping out of the bush anytime so 30 loose fit will do just fine!

[@sharpsvilleBill]

@@Huntinggearguy One more way to load. Hold rifle upside down with mag open and drop 10 rounds in mag well one at a time and simply close the mag. Good to go.

[@RascalKyng]

Where in Canada can you get them for $200 CAD? Vendors?

[@Huntinggearguy]

Cabela's has Chinese ones for $229 right now, and those go on sale every now and again.

[@RascalKyng]

The Hunting Gear Guy - Isn't the Chinese one inferior? Don't people seek out the Soviet one since it had better workmanship? Thanks.

[@cerberus7.625]

Lever Arms in Vancouver, Cabelas,

[@leepenlack1329]

canadian tire used to have them, not sure if they have them now, i have not visited canada in about two years.

[@crabjay7086]

very informative in the video.... need to dust off mine and start plinking.... LOL

[@tcaves3053]

I got a original Soviet model at 100.38 $ made the same year I was born. 1952 surplus . Before Clinton’s bull poop 💩
