"The SKS Rifle Part 5- Range Time with Rugersix and IV8888"

[goddaor]

Hey rugersix and iraqveteran great video. Hey rugersix what kind of stain do you have on your 59/66 a1? That looks really beautiful I just got a Yugo and want to do it like yours thanks

[1anthonybrowning]

Stripper clip hell, huh? Is there a conversion that uses AK mags?

[Taud]

I've never seen anyone have such difficulty with one of those clips....

[CHS1488]

i have found on the stripper clips if u pull the front of the top bullet up and push it will feed easier

[WR12MSH]

I have a problem with the shell casings flying forward as I'm shooting. Is that something I should be worried about? Something I can correct?

[TheShadoKnite]

Damn you have great editing software! I only have this cheapy free thing that came with my old cassette tape camcorder and you have to do everything frame by frame pretty much.

[SuperChillaz]

Hey guys make you a gift, buy some *Tapco or other mags !!! XD

[Quintos]

Try pulling back on the bolt slightly at the same time as inserting the rounds but be careful and keep your finger of the trigger and point in safe direction!

[thumperpaul]

try loading the strippers when your rifle is pinned for 5 rounds...god bless (damn?) the Liberal Govt!!!!!!!!

[JUSTANOTHERDAY333333]

@thumperpaul i hate the liberals!!!! down campbell with his gun scare tactics and the idiots back then that followed him we need to change our laws and get some freedom back

[rifleman10000]

I found a type 56 in great condition for 259$ but it doesn't have the lower side of the magizine (the triangle part on the bottom) should I buy it?

[Bigfurry1975]

Those are some nice rifles fellas! That wasn't too bad for a Chinese SKS, although I've heard that the Russian ones were better. That Yugo rifle looked decent too. I wish I could find a place to see how accurate my Mosin is past 100 yards. Have you or Iraqveteran8888 fired an SVT 40? Those look pretty cool as well.

[grantsdaman01]

the clip is unfortunately designed to be pushed down from inside the clip itself where you can reach, so the best way to do it is to lift the first round and use it to push the others down

[MrJoSWilson]

proper maintenance and lubrication would end that stripper clip problem.....i only had that problem after leaving it in a closet for a few months without use.

[ashisturtwig123]

how much did the type 56 cost you because i wasgoing to get thy yogo one but it doestn have a chro barrel so where and how much did it cost you for it

[VetFW]

@ashisturtwig123 I just went to a gun show here yesterday and I was able to pick one up that has never been fired looks brand new out of the box for $260 trust me though I looked around till i found exactly what I wanted. I would say fair is between 250-350.

[ashisturtwig123]

@VetFW thank you im about to pick up a type56 paratrooper

[TheMedievalMan]

I think you guys kind of have to push down all the way in the back of the top round. When you push down somewhere in the middle, the rim of the rounds tilts a bit in the stripper clip, and causes it to jam. If you push down on the back of the round, it wants to go straight down.

[robinrayholmes]

Those stripper clips are tricky, but after a lot of practice they can be mastered. For me, the main thing is to use one quick motion. If you stop before all the ammo is in the magazine, it is a booger. LOL! I do love these rifles though. I have owned 4 and am about to purchase another one. They are very versatile and tough and you can do a lot of shooting without going broke. And they get a big WOW from me just because of all of the customizing and options that can be made on the rifles.

[wild50gunner]

in regard to the stripper clips I found that it helps to press down as close to the base of the rounds as possible now I basicaly try to put my finger in the rim of the cartrige and have had almost no problems sence

[leesherman100]

In regard to stripper clips: the first time I used one it parted the palm of my hand very nicely! Medic!! The next few times they just jammed, raised hell, or outright laughed at me!! If you polish the park off, they work much better. I just tossed them in my war chest for conversation pieces!! !@#$%^&_+ it!! They must have been designed by someone from NATO!!

[wysoft]

Good video and what a nice place to shoot. Do you recall if you were using the 200M range on the leaf sights for these shots?

[krazzielaosboi]

is thisgun like the ak47?

[semiautoriflelover]

Sir, is that Yugo ammo corrosive? I've seen some at the gun store and it is brass cased and has the same box(head stamp is early 80s).

[h02371]

have one at home need to clean it, hasnt been fired

[Zeitgeist74]

What a fine rifle. Thanks IV8888 and Rugersix for posting this series on this very interesting rifle! :) Though it may not be the most modern rifle out there, like the M14/M1A, it's deadly, reliable, and durable to boot! I am particularly on the Chinese and Russian variation, myself.

[coozy100]

apparently jg sales has a model 63 with a 40 round clip. ive never heard of it, and the price shows its a lil hard to find

[FUwogs]

illegal mexicraps make great targets, get your guns and head for the border

[n238900]

Curious, are you using a mussel break when you're firing at 200? I have a russian sks, loud as hell.

[cityhunterhf]

funny music

good rifle

[RavenThunder]

The stripper clips can be a pain, no doubt about it, but once you work them in, they are fast as can be. I'v got a video in my channel that shows some of the better stripper clips in my inventory hard at work.

[a7xfan012]

hey man thanks for making the video's i was wondering would you recomend a 20 round tapco mag, and the stock two is see your are all in the original ones are the tapco any good?

[wilfredotour2]

thank you, i'm buying my SKS this summer

[curtispa]

how do u move the frount sights left or right

[Iraqveteran8888]

You can buy a windage adjustment tool for the SKS and I can say that it is a highly recommended product.

Using normal tools with often marr the thing to crap and back.

[wayneLsmith51]

you guys must have new strippers, they seem to work better when they're more "broke in". but you represent SKS enthusiasts well.

[texasdustfart]

but great rifle

[texasdustfart]

evil nasty stripper clips

[sniperpro461]

how does teh steel cased ammo work for u dude cause im thinking of using that wolf ammo???

[Iraqveteran8888]

Good for general plinking if you don't feel like blasting through 200 handloads.

[sniperpro461]

yes that is what im intending to do mostly with cheap ammo because here to the ammo is bloody expensive for the larger calibres

[Iraqveteran8888]

It's very decent and usable ammo for the money

[sniperpro461]

well thanks for the reply on that question mate i do apreciate it, subscribed to u aswell cause u have a pretty cool channel there.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Thanks for your support of my channel.

[wayneLsmith51]

just getthe imported surplus, you can get yugo fmj for like 3-4$ a box of 15 from J&G in arizona. to my understanding the yugo ammo has a bit higher pressure so its a bit "hotter" round with a little better penetration. Blast holes in 3/8 thick steel plate. aint no AR15 doin that! Great company and people by the way. talk to Andrew. if you don't mind voiding the C&R status of your rifle, the Tapco detachable mags work better than others.

[IWorshipMCR]

Will a flash hider/muzzle brake for an SKS decrease how loud the rifle is?

[Iraqveteran8888]

A muzzle brake with make it louder but reduce recoil.

A flash hider just assists in hiding a bit of the muzzle flash, although I must say not very well....lol

[decimator22]

you should make a home-made supressor just for fun, and im not just talkin a 2 liter bottle stuffed with cottle balls, lol

[wayneLsmith51]

would like to know how to do that. theoretically of course i would never do anything illegal like that.....

[smartbomb33]

Strange, ive never had a problem with the stripper clips. Not once. I've only fired the Russian variety.

[lardo2525]

Brush your stripper clips with dry grafite.

[ILikeWeapons132435]

Maybe you guys should try to make some sort of tool to assist in the loading of rounds through the stripper clips.(?) Maybe something made of a simple piece of wood.

(?)

[Iraqveteran8888]

The stripper clips can just be finicky.

I have found that once they get worked a few times they tend to function much better.

A dry lubricant like Strike Hold applied to the clip helps too.

Under no circumstance should ammo be oiled though....

[redmudpei]

You think stripper clips are fun in a 10rd magazine, try em in a canadian legal pinned 5/10rd magazine. ugh

[warriorofsteel01]

@redmudpei

lmao!

[24GordonFan223]

i'm effective with mine out to 200 yards, i'm deadly at 50-100,

[RavenThunder]

I own ARs, AKs, and various sporting arms but my SKS Paratrooper is still my favorite gun.

[itseasyforyou]

Harry the marksman! Btw, you're a Marksman too in the first video, I saw you shooting on the plate which went very well. lol @ the stripper clips. Wow! What a beautiful shooting looking you guys got there! 5:00 Nice shooting at 7:50 must be very relaxing to do! Can you just shoot in an area like that in GA? Or was that on a farm terrain or something?

[Goodspittin]

I'm deadly with Type-56 out to 350m, I can offhand an 18" plate.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Not hard to do once you get your point of aim down. We were just having a little fun, but these rifles are very accurate when set up properly.

[HK45Mark23]

Timing of your pip vid is out of sink, Shot - hit - report. Not, shot - (hit, report.) There is equal time for the report as there is time for the hit after ignition.

[Iraqveteran8888]

I stated in the video that the TOF was incorrect. The bullet cam at this point is still a little bit on the experimental side, so its mainly so you can see where the rounds are hitting.

[HK45Mark23]

No disrespect intended. I was just making an offhand comment. I love the video series.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Sure thing man....Wasn't trying to sound harsh. Glad you like it.

Will be putting out some more videos soon.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Oh yeah...I'm thinking about scoping one, but if I am going to do it, I'm gonna do it right and score a good PSOP scope with a 7.62x39mm bullet drop reticle.

Requires installed a side plate but IMO it is worth it, and the best way to scope an SKS and get repeatable accuracy.

[qUICK3558]

Ya, those stripper clips never work!!

[SAXD45ACP]

fun fun!! makes me want to go shoot mine. except its a little too dry out here right now to be using steel jacketed ammo. dont want to spark any fires.

[RabeHK]

These stripperclips work best if you lift up the first round a bit and push them down, at least that worked for me :)

[tjh141994]

Here's a tip. If you oil a q-tip then wipe down the inside of the stripper clip it makes it much easier to load the SKS.

[Iraqveteran8888]

I've never really had any issues with the stripper clips myself (go figure the first time I actually use them on camera they mess up...knock on wood...lol)

I've found that if you just use them about 3-4 times they break in and function a lot better.

I suppose while cleaning them a light coat of oil would not hurt either.

Thanks for the input. Thats what my videos are about...everyone having an input and being totally unbiased.

[SAXD45ACP]

if you can get ahold of the older chicom stripper clips that came on the 70's era steel core ammo they seem to be pretty high quality. these new production chinese stripper clips are pretty crappy they seem to have burs inside where the case rim touches a few uses like you said work the burs out.

[Iraqveteran8888]

I'll keep that in mind...

I may have to do a study of different stripper clips and make a video about it eventually. I have a Russian one I picked up in Georgia! (the country)

[bobtaylor1979]

i like best the yugo sks. i love that light suppresor, looks cool

[bobtaylor1979]

very nice videos. very nice.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Trying our best...Thanks for the support.

[gunfuego]

Ruger, please remember to squeeze the trigger not pull (3:10) BTW Nice SKS I have a Russkie 1954 Tula...... If your ever in my neck of the woods we should go shoot some cans and targets and stuff...

[Iraqveteran8888]

Have you ever shot a Chinese SKS....The triggers are like a million pounds. You almost have to give the damn thing some force.

I am going to address the trigger of the SKS with a trigger job video in the next few months.

Russian triggers are decent....about like the Yugo rifles.

[gunfuego]

ah, I see now.... I haven't had the chance to shoot a Chinese SKS before, but my Russkie would like a Brother.......

[bobtaylor1979]

how about doing a video abou the m14? u can do smth like sks vs m14???

[Iraqveteran8888]

You may get your wish soon...

[bobtaylor1979]

great. cant wait

[ZombieSlayer762]

a tip about the sks which i just found out and find that most people don't know.

is that for safety your actually supposed to use military ammo in them because the hard primers prevent slam firing apparently the soft primers of not military/ non wolf ammo can make the gun go full auto.

not to try and sound smarter than you just trying to get the word around. lol

[Iraqveteran8888]

Actually, that whole slam fire thing is a huge myth.

Slam fires are caused from a combination of extremely ditry weapons with floating firing pins, and shoddy primer seating depth.

In fact, the majority of slam fires in these certain set of condition happen to handloaders the most.

Factory ammo slamfiring is rare unless of course your weapon is filthy and you happen to get a primer that is overly thin (like some of the federal primers).

It is not the ammo like people think...

[ViperQc]

chinese stripper clip? I use czech one and they feed perfectly

[Iraqveteran8888]

Yeah different ones do better than others. I have a Russian one tht I picked up in Georgia (the country) off an old rifle range. I would have gotten more if I knew I could get it back so easily.

These are all Chinese clips

[gunfuego]

good shooting.... The ATI stripper clips I have are garbage do you know of a good web sight to get the ones that are stamped CHINA on the bottom or any others that don't suck?

[stevestreet01]

Great job fellas! U got a really good series going here!!!!!! I find myself wanting u to hurry and post the next one...lol.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Parts 6,7, and 8 are uploading now!

[ECTBWHO]

: )

[jdouglasfisher]

I wonder if putting a set of Tech Sights on the SKS would improve accuracy?

J

[Iraqveteran8888]

Of course there are tons of things you can do to improve accuracy, but I wanted the next few videos to be about bone stock military accuracy before I move on to doing videos on accurizing techniques.

[TheHiddenPart]

wow, loved the multicam editing. Nice one. That business' end reminds me of my italian Beretta BM59.

[Iraqveteran8888]

The BM59 is a sweet rifle...

[robin6512]

and then try too reload quick under fire.

That must be fun.

Great little rifle do.

[znignflo72]

that last part made me wanna go shooting right now

[richsanch74]

excellent! great work rugersix & iraqveteran

[majorporpoise]

Was Chad in the Army too?

[Iraqveteran8888]

No...hes an old friend from high school

[pukkepop]

LOL those stripper clips :D Hilarious Ruger! That's why they put the bayonet on :D
