SKS questions(help me choose my first rifle)

[Pilot321]

I'd take the AK based upon that, honestly.

I much prefer a RUSSIAN SKS over any AK and I have both.

I wasn't being a dick to the new guy.
I was giving him some real input to spare him future others being a dick to the new guy.

I'm also not going to ignore Liberal anti 2A new speak in the open forum.
Neither should you.

This goes well beyond the textbook definition of arsenal, regardless, don't turn this into something it's not.
I was very polite and I wasn't picking a fight with you.

Bowling balls must fall under collection...

The news media will often paint a scary picture by using words like arsenal whether its 5 or 500..

I'm not either, that's why I'm specifically asking what upset you.

I'm not upset, I'm relaying useful 2A information to someone relatively new to the 2A.
If you want me to pick apart your posts I will, but I don't want to, that usually comes across as picking a fight.
My posts were not meant to be insulting.

We're just a little bit short fused on the issue, due to the fact that the media uses certain words and phrases to vilify us. Stick around the forum, and don't take anything personally. There's a shit ton of good info here.

I am an SKS enthusiast. I like them. That being said, I'd pick an AR over it any day of the week. If you want an SKS, get one. They're a lot of fun. Just be aware they can have firing pin issues, causing slam fires or unintentional full auto incidents. Murrays gunsmithing can clear that issue up for less than $50.

I'm an H&K enthusiast, got me new ACOG tuned in on my 91. Pting, pting bang the tin plate @100 yds, now I need a longer stretch to get some distance.

Wanna trade? I'll throw in a couple stripper clips and half a box of ammo.

They are surprisingly accurate and easy to shoot well off hand. Soft shooting also.
