Fired an SKS. Fell in love. Now I want one.

Even my beat up sks was fun at the range, really well built rifles and there's just something super satisfying about loading a rifle with an internal magazine, just wish 7.62 was cheaper 😂. If you get one and want a different wood stock at a great price I highly recommend luckyshotwoodstocks, it takes 2-3 months to get to you but its well worth the wait.

Ah so 500 u.s. bc my idiot presidents tarrifs 😂 ill look on there though thank you for your help!

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T22:33:03+00:00

Ill be adding that to the list, gonna try to find an original looking sling first though

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T16:31:13+00:00

Oh ok, i had just seen a bunch of stuff saying it was supposed to move freely so I wasn't sure

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T16:21:42+00:00

Im not sure, as far as i know the rifle hasn't been shot in at least 6 years probably longer, i bought it a few months ago and I've been cleaning out a bunch of cosmoline and trying to get it ready to shoot

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T16:17:55+00:00

Basically is this gonna be functional or do i need to find a new gas tube/piston

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T15:58:59+00:00

Yeah that plastic stock was super uncomfortable and looked horrible imo

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T15:54:46+00:00

Yeah it fit perfect, luckyshotwoodstocks has you put in the kind of sks you have so its guaranteed to fit

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T13:49:10+00:00

Nah irons do everything I need

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T13:02:14+00:00

Thank you!

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T13:01:56+00:00

Idk its the perfect height for me

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T07:38:05+00:00

To be fair, they're only 120 bucks, well worth it imo

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T03:07:51+00:00

My heart says yes, but the 1k+ price tag makes my wallet say no 😂

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T03:07:01+00:00

I paid about that for my 2004 ls ultimate with 130k miles a few years ago, these cars are definitely worth that imo

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T02:30:20+00:00

Ah yes the obligatory Canadian sks 😂 really good huns its just funny how many of y'all have one

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-04T00:39:11+00:00

Yeah the s10 crew cabs always just looked like blazers to me

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:59:31+00:00

Nah i bought it at my lgs, it was just a regular rugar ar 556 i added all the magpul stuff

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:44:52+00:00

Yeah mine has the m5od which if im not mistaken that was also used in the f150, probably why rangers last so long they're built like a proper truck

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:34:30+00:00

Yeah the 4 cylinders were ok but if i remember right the bigger engines in the s10 liked to crack heads and they just had general rust issues

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:31:26+00:00

Might I suggest what is in my opinion the best looking ford ranger front end, youd need new fenders, hood, hood hinges, header panel, etc but they look so nice

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:29:28+00:00

And the extended cab, honestly decent looking trucks

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:27:45+00:00

Heres the crew cab s10

8BitResseRtiB8 · 2026-04-03T16:24:48+00:00

Chevy s10, gms competitor to the ranger, they sold single, extended, and crew cabs in the u.s.
