I was thinking we could have one that was dedicated to the SKS. I bought (layaway) a Yugo SKS Rifle Stocks today, I paid $251 (is that a good price?) total. It has the flip up grenade sight, and long muzzle device. Stock was dark (possibly dirty?), all numbers matched (don’t know if that’s a big deal?) and the pad on the butt plate was intact. I don’t know much about the SKS, but I’m betting someone here does. I’ll post up some pics of it next week.

SKS are good simple reliable rifles, hard to beat.
Order up some spam cans of ammo on stripper clips.
The stippers are resuable, and make loading fast.
Price, not bad these days, when SKS’s first started to get imported many years ago they where around $75 – $100 wholesell. Ammo was about that same price for 1100 on stippers and 1500 loose.
Should have put away a case of the russian ones. I like the looks of the older Russian ones, they are listed as C & R’s nowadays.
Its been reported, but I’m not sure if 100% fact, that China imported more SKS’s in a 3-5 year span then the entire production of Win. Model 94′s.

im not saying your wrong (seriously i’m not)
but i definitly re buying 2 crates of sks’s in 94 (pretty sure it was 94) for a grand total of about 45 dollars a rifle
couldn’t tell you what kind they were, i was all of about 16 and my “cousin” was 18, and at the time it seemed like an awesome idea.
as teenagers coming out of the cold war era we had a serious survivor mentality for some reason, so the crates and ammo we picked up with em went into a “cache” for a lack of a better word. where we “lived” at the time, that kind of stuff didn’t really raise any eyebrows. They guy we bought em from was a serious, old school, country, kitchen table ffl, who had crates and crates of stuff in his garage.
which reminds me, i should prolly go retrieve them from their current location before that property gets sold.
hadn’t even thought about those rifles in years.

In ’94, they were probably Chinese.
That’s about the time they were as common as most anything else in the local stores.
I should have bought more and I should have held on the the ones I bought. Have one Yugo now.

Oh yes, the Norinco SKS. I have both the rifle and carbine version. Great shooters and neither have ever failed to go bang. Back in the early 90′s you could get a rifle and 1,000 rounds for under $150 IIRC. Now I see them selling for $300+.

i dont even know what version they are,
all we knew was they were 40$ a rifle in crates of 10 with all kinds of cool shit, and the ammo was cheap as hell. Since we “put them down” we havent even touched the spot where they are, out of sight out of mind and all,
i think we pretty much verified that they were all real rifles, and then we set em up for loooooong term storage.
that old guy was cool as hell, he always had all kinds of crap, i think he went to alot of auctions at the ng base nearby.
we ended up with all kinds of cool stuff everytime we swung by
i’ll be the first to admit that my childhood was kind of different than most other folks, had alot of slightly unhinged vets as role models, who thought that kids should know everything they had to teach about what they learned in the service.
and the local neighbors (ie on the bounds of our acerage) were pretty much all serious survivalists, learned alooooot
and alot of what i learned has paid huge dividends in my military carrer

I have sold several of them, seem like a neat idea
It’s readily distinguishable by the Serial Number?
If you have your Form 1 readily available as you should, the Serial number makes it as ready as you …
Is the DM floorplate all part of the stock or does it come off? What booth you going to be at at SHOT? Since it is an all alluminum stock there is no bedding required as it is itself. Mesa Tactical is only selling the stock as you would pick and choose what to drop in like mags, barrels, and actions. Mesa Tactical is located in booth 9047 in the Law Enforcement Section at Shot. Semper Fi, Gregg Rob01 [Moderator] 1/23/2008 10:41:00 AM So the bottom metal isn’t part of the system? I just figured it would be set up like an AICS in that respect. So what bottom metal is it inletted for and how hard is it to open up if it’s for the factory 700? I’ll try to throw you on our list to stop by at SHOT. lonehunter 1/23/2008 10:46:05 AM Originally Posted By Rob01: So the bottom metal isn’t part of the system?

I’ll try to throw you on our list to stop by at SHOT. Hi Rob, No the bottom metal is not part of the system at this time. The operator would be dropping in their Remington 700 into this stock if they so choosed. The specs are designed for a factory Remington 700/M24. Hope that answers your questions and look forward to seeing you there. Semper Fi, Gregg lonehunter 1/23/2008 11:15:41 AM Originally Posted By LoneWolfUSMC: NO THANK YOU!!!!

About the only add-ons I can see needed on a precision rifle is a NV Optic and possible a IR Laser Designator. I don’t need rails festooned all over the stock unless it’s to attach a bipod/monopod. Hi LoneWolfUSMC and Semper Fi, I appreciate your feedback and each to their own as I always say. If the mission called for it some other things to think about would be an IR Illuminator and there are a couple of things that Mesa is developing that you would attach to the rails that I cannot disclose yet that you would want. Use your imagination of what you would want close by at all times.

The forward grip is used if you are a sniper on the top of a building on a ledge aiming down onto the street as an example to get better stability and control. The small weapon mounted light is utilized when climbing up the stairs of the building if it was dark to get to your position. You never know when you would need a light and it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Semper Fi, Gregg Like previously stated you may want to tone down the bling in other ads and pics. It may be a turn off to many and the "tacticool" guys will def. be able to imagine the extras. I would think the forward grip would hinder accuracy since the whole system would move back, if I understand correctly, and with your arm being canted to hold on the grip it could/would cause the gun to shift to the side. The bipod would give enough stability I would think. It might just be me, but if I’m moving to a location a flashlight would give away my stalk or else on my stalk I be using an AR or HG w/light for CQC until into position to snipe.
