The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I just noticed this. Thank you Management. Guess I just did not notice or is it recent?

Must be really recent, wasn't here when I logged in, Thanks

What'a a SKS anyways? I keep seeing you guys talk about them...........

No problem, the check cleared

Simonov was a Mosin dude, too. But his most notable contribution to small arms was the SKS. Bet he never imagined what would become of his efforts. He has his own dedicated forum on RMNF, now. Awesome!

It was getting too big in the corner of the Semi-auto forum.... Boss decided it was to time for it's very own room.

Well done as always guys. Appreciate your efforts.

I could see how collecting SKS's could be addicting. It is one of the last semi-auto battle rifles and is still reasonable, at least so far. I do wish I had bought a Russian when I first got interested. I was shocked by $400. I still enjoy my Yugo, and it was a good entry. If I find a good SKS at a good price it will come home with me.

There are a few deals even on Russians out there. Not a lot at the moment, but a few and more will be over time. Just keep watching and looking .

Thanks for a great forum Mods ! this is really a cool place with allot of HEAVY HITTING sks guru's

I honestly dont think Outlaw has ever had this much fun with his cloths on.

This is very cool!

Just this past weekend I was disassembling my 2nd SKS, a 59/66a1 and as I was laying out the pieces for cleaning, I was admiring the mechanics of the gas system, and the cutoff for firing blanks for the grenade system. I just suddenly stopped and said to myself: "I know why these guys love these so much. I get it. I really get it!" I have always liked them better than the AK platform, not that I don't love AK's. I do. I just dont have one. I just ready love the SKS. I can't understand why anyone would not want one, especially if fun shooting is to be had.

Your second one is built like a tank isn't it? An all milled one at that. My wife for the first time ever wanted to learn to shoot one of my SKS last Saturday.
After 20 rounds on the 25 yd target lane, I moved her over to a 50 yard lane. She shot about 60 rounds at the 50. All groups were 2 to 3".
She made an Executive decision and confiscated my M59! A 61 year old woman who seems a natural at shooting takes the M59 and then had me buy her an
M38 Swedish Mauser Saturday night. Life is good. More access to gun money!

Nice A very good reason to buy more guns

Thanks very much this is a great place to be for the sks collector with guys that are not into bubba work on their guns and want to share info and learn new things about the SKS

Just "snazzing things up a little" and we figured it was time.
