Been "lurking" here for a couple of month's. Lots of GOOD INFO!!!
Never had a 'semi center fire' but, took the bait and just came home with a 7.62 x 39 SKS to get started with.
It's a Chinese version. Numbers match on the Upper (Slide/Bolt Assembly???) and Lower (where the magazine and trigger assemble attach). Havn't 'dissassembled' it yet to check further.
Ordered some Stripper Clips and a Manual from 'SKSMAN.com'
I REALLY want to shoot this thing this weekend. I've read/followed the 'Von Fat Man' thread on his first SKS
but need to know what "PRECAUTIONS" I should take.
Plan on bagging it in tight and firing a couple of rounds via 'string' and then would like to try sighting it in starting at 25 yds to get on the paper and working out to 100 yds for now.
Any and ALL info would be greatly appreciated.
I have pretty good experience with Revolvers (Colt Tropper MK III 357) Pistols (Sig P239 9mm) Too many Bolt, Pump and Lever Action rifles and Shotguns to rember.
