Default Re: AK vs SKS vs M1 Carbine vs 9mm carbine

Unless you REALLY need to save money, of the two 9mm carbines you have listed... go with the Sub 2000. Trust me. I had a Hi-Point. While it's a good value, it pales in comparison to the Kel-Tec.

As for AK vs SKS... Tough call. I have a Yugo SKS, and really like it. They go for $199 in really good condition.(Dunham's just had them on sale)

For a bit more, you can get an AK that gives you high cap magazines. I do not recommend screwing with an SKS to make it "like an AK". If you want an AK, get one from the start. Leave the SKS as it was intended. It works best that way.
One thing I've noticed is that the price of the SKS has increased steadily as supply dries up. Something to consider. I got mine 2 years ago for $119.00 and the same rifle now goes for $199.00

Good luck with your decision!
