The Russian SKS, The Soviet gift to the world.

The SKS is one of the more interesting historical rifles you will ever come across. Although the SKS is very plentiful in America it is quickly gaining in price as good examples begin to run out. Thank you to ridge wallet!: https://ridge.com/garand -code to save 15%: GARAND The SKS is a well made Soviet design that saw some use at the very end of WW2 but by the time production began to ramp up it already was a somewhat obsolescent design due to the introduction of the AK-47 / AKM. The SKS is one of those rifles that combines old world theory like fixed magazines and traditional rifle stock with new age sensibilities; intermediate cartridge, and semi automatic design. I hope you enjoy today's video. We appreciate every single one of you.
