its more accurate bacause of longer barrel, semi only and less recoil due to weight. be sure to get a chrome plated barrel. i think yugo's are plated im not sure
@Lamb00FGoD yea i bought it. It is a very good gun, a little heavy but i expected that. it shoots great at 80yards(farthest i've been able to shoot it at so far) and hardly any recoil and on top of that my dad bought me a part for it that dampens whatever recoil it has.
hey i want to ask you if the SKS can be fired by a lefty? Does the brass get bounced to the side and forward or would it get dangerously close to a face on the other side? thanks! Im considering getting one (Hows that for a first firearm!) but i want to know if i would lose an eye!
Its never been a problem for me and I'm a lefty. My right handed friend actually got unlucky and a shell bounced off of something in the range. The round rolled into his arm and game him a hot little surprise.
Indeed. The only drawback to the Yugoslavian SKS (very minor, not worth fussing over!) is the lack of a chrome lined bore, which basically means it just takes a bit longer to clean than my Russian SKS does. The M59/66 is still a very affordable, rugged, and reliable firearm. It is also very well built, with all metal parts being milled.
I also always considered non chromed barrel as a drawback. I also didnt understand why they didnt chrome them until my friend, an experienced shooter told me that they decided not to chrome the barrels because of the accuracy.
I did some research and i found out that only the best match grade rifles have cold forged and non chromed barrels.
I have heard various reasons for lack of a chrome lined barrel. Others claim that Yugoslavia was short of equipment to mine ore for a time (or others say USSR would not supply it), but had it later on (Yugoslavian Kalashnikovs have chromed bores.). Not sure what is true or not.
Chrome does reduce accuracy somewhat, but I am not sure why they would try to improve an SKS; 7.62X39 is not the most accurate round out there, and the Dragunov is accurate in spite of a chrome lined bore.
I think that is not true, because Slovenia is one of the countries of former Yugoslavia and they had chrome and also the technique to put it in the barrel.
The whole series of guns were not chromed - Yugo AK - M70 was also not chromed.
Even today the same factory still doesnt chrome some of the rifles.
Oh, and 7,62x39 is quite accurate round. It has flat trajectory and good balistics.
Yes, I have heard that they did have chrome. Maybe those shortage stories are false.
I can't tell the difference in accuracy between my Russian SKS and my two Yugoslavian ones. Then again, I am shooting at a range of between 40 to 50 meters, so hard to tell in a short distance.
Yes, I got ahead of myself there - I was comparing the 7.62X39 to newer rounds like 5.56X45 and 5.45X39. It does well for an intermediate cartridge of its time (started 1943).
Nice vid, I bought a Russian SKS (Tula 1952) with blade bayonet years ago. I gave it to my older son (age 16). Recently I switched out the original stock and fixed magazine with all new Tapco OD green furniture and detachable magazines. This summer when we go out to Eastern Oregon to shoot I'll get some video of him shooting it for here.
Ja učasi človek dobi res ta opčutek da majo nekatiri preveč dnarja . Samo nisem opazu da bi komu SL8 delau tezeve čeprou ga res dosti strelcou uporablja . Veš če mogoče ta veliki izmenlivi nabojniki delajo probleme ?
Možno da so kakšni res slabše kvalitete, drugače imam pa prijatelja strelca, ki uporablja na svoji PAP-ovki podaljšane nabojnike za 20 in 30 nabojev, pa še nikoli ni imel problemov.
Ne u bistvu sem biu na eni tekmi IPSCja in satlno so papouke delale probleme . In zanimivo samo neke dodelane eden pa je meu prou navadno brez nobenega dodatka in ni meu težau .
Problem delajo najveckrat nabojniki (neoriginal), tisti snemljivi in pa plinski ventil. Sprobal sem te nabojnike (20 nabojev) in so "za v smeti", ker mas vecino casa probleme s "feedanjem". Ce pa rikne plinski ventil, imas pa iz PAP a, RP (repetirno pusko) :) in pa neki malga stroskov, da si iz Amerike narocis novega ali pa naprosis pri kakem puskarju pri nas rezervnega...

I've never seen an SKS before this, and now that I've seen it, I have to ask:
That looks alot like a chinese Type 56. Are they in any way similar?
MeanderingBeing 3 years ago
I think they are similar. This is a Yugo SKS - but you also have a lot of variants all over the world.
Polenar 3 years ago
no the only similarity is the ammunition they fire. the Chinese type 56 is a copy of the
AK47 :)
DANIAC262 3 years ago
Actually Chinese Type 56 is a copy of SKS. The Type 56 Assault rifle is a copy of AK47. Those are two different things.
There are a lot of SKS copies such as:
Romanian SKS, Albanian SKS, East German SKS, (North) Vietnamese SKS, North Korean SKS, Chinese Type 56 and Yugoslavian PAP

SKS can also be fired from the left hand. Brass flies away from the head so that shouldnt be a problem.

Oh ja :) IPSC strelci so posebna vrsta, vse kar imajo probajo nadgradit, potem se pa gre samo kdo ima več denarja in kdo zvleče več stvari na puško.
Njim tudi H&K SL8 skos delajo probleme in to samo zato, ker jih predelajo.
Seveda oni dostikrat vidijo vzrok v "slabi municiji"
Sicer imam izpit za IPSC ampak raje streljam IDPA, ker so tam pištole večinoma tovarniške in v ospredju prevladuje spretnost in ne orožje.
