hi. My SKS's Receiver retention pin would not move out to point to the top... it is stuck I think... I just bought this from another person. Should I use a punch?
Great view on the sks, I have a norinco paratrooper that I modified with the tapco stock and 20rd mags. This video no has me in the process of converting it back to stock config. because it looks so much better that way. Thanks
i have a old Chinese TYPE 56 SKS CARBINE equipped with a modified AK-47 "banana" clip. its acutally a very decent weapon. my philosophy, if you can shoot with old weapon technology, you can shoot with modern technology better then the guy next to you. good video though.
nice shooting. I have two yugos-one used with grenade launcher and the other a "new manufactureed" one-basically is a reworked yugo no grenade launcher and a new barrel. I was really impressed with the accuracy of both rifles.
Every time I take mine out, after about an hour in the sun oil seeps out of the wood like crazy. I guess it’s from when they packed it. Anyone else’s do that?
@Anounulisly I believe so, there's a couple of good official Izhmash factory videos showing the factory and their products over time. It's in Russian, but if you don't speak Russian like me, you can still understand generally what's going on.
I am having serious thoughts of getting this weapon. I am a beginner and just got my license (Possession and Aquisition License or PAL) Would this be a good weapon for someone to start out? The ammunition for this weapon are noticeably cheaper than a .30-06. I have heard problems with this weapon being inaccurate however and concerns about jamming? Please get back soon - And if you suggest any other weapons for a beginner. I am from Canada so AK47 is illegal :( Or else Id get that.
@ScopedPewPew - Yes, they're simple and fairly powerful rifles. The accuracy is decent out to about 300 meters, and it's pretty tough to hit anything with any gun with iron sights only past that range. Ammo is cheap, recoil is light, and if your rifle is in good condition it should be very reliable. Overall, better than an AK.
@ScopedPewPew Well, from what I hear, you are limited to ten rounds.
As for this rifle being inaccurate and jamming, the latter I can tell you I doubt would happen.
From what I hear, russian firearms like these rarely do so, unless of course you damaged it to such a point. But by that time, I doubt the rifle would even be serviceable. As for the former, I can't really answer that.
I've had both the Chinese and the Yugoslavian model of the SKS both with the stock iron sights and both were extremely accurate out to at least 300 meters never had any targets out farther than that but I'm sure if you are able to see a target out past 300 meters you'd hit it.
As far as jamming issues, I only had 2 and those were caused by faulty magazines.
The 7.62x39mm ammunition is pretty cheap as its available almost everywhere it seems like due to being so popular.
you keep saying "brief" but I don't think you know what that means. you're an odd little man and maybe just a little gay and I'm assuming ultra right christian republican, but the worst part is that you think you're interesting. Just freekin get to the info.
@gmyers2112 You realize the point of this video is to "yak" about "crap" regarding the SKS, right? There are plenty of videos of people shooting one if that's what you'd prefer. If you're wondering about something specific than ask a question, don't throw insults around.
I just bought a yugo SKS and it has a jamming problem (mag feeding) with the original 10 round mag. Granted I know most of these rifles were made in the 40's-50's and the original mag has probably seen better days. . but I just recently purchased a tapco 20 round mag in hopes that it perfoms better. . have yet to recieve it in the mail. Tried to find a new original 10 round with no luck. Any advice on this?
I am very interested in buying one of these very soon. Can anyone tell me how much these usually run for? Is it possible to find a nice one for under $200?
@piff235 No. You can get one with a pitted barrel for $204, or one with a good barrel for $245, from Colorado Gun Sales. Best price you'll find unless a buddy gives you a deal.
@piff235 I got mine, chinese arsenal #625 unissued, circa 1965 fo $189. Forged and milled receiever (not stamped) chromed bore and every damn piece on it numbered. It's a thing of beauty. But I live in Canada, so that doesn't help you. does it? I can get 100 more if I wanted. I love this rifle! CAse of 1200 rd for $239. Can't go wrong.

I've been reading these people's comments how the SKS can out shoot an M1 Garand, laughable to say the very least. The 7.62x39mm cartridge is no good past 400m regardless of barrel length or action, it's a heavy round pushed by a small amount of powder. The M1 Garand originally chambered in 30-06 (technically a magnum cartridge) was periodically used as a SASR (special application scoped rifle) in WWII, with plenty of confirmed kills out to an beyond 800m. You're comparing a long rifle (M1) to
If the Yugo model is so much better than the China model type 56. Why don't you take a China model type 56 round to the chest with a vest. The Yugo model is only a longer barrel with a kit on it. It's lethality is no different then the the other variants. Case closed or rather closed casket if anyone think the type 56 won't do it's job!
@MrEhud77 If it was cheap, it was probably Yugoslavian, that and it should have a grenade launcher instead of a muzzle break and grenade launcher sights
@PaleHorseWC2 It's definatley chinese (Norico sporting version) I did a little research on it...there is no granade lancher..but the reason it was cheap is that I got it used from a pawn shop
@MrEhud77 Thats cool, I always thought that the only cheap ones were the Yugo's, because of the '86 Chinese import ban. My dad picked up his Yugo around 2000 I believe for like $150
@PaleHorseWC2 damn that is cheap.. I got mine for around $275 I think its probably a 70s model but I'm not too sure. The firing pin on it gets stuck forward and it fires full auto..Need to get that fixed.
Amazing weapon. I have a Norinco Type 56 SKS. I bought it through impact guns about 5 years ago for $250 as my first gun. It had a composite folding stock and a 30 mag on it when I bought it. I switched the 30 round mag for the standard 10 and put a yugo wood stock on it (which doesnt fit as well on a Norinco as you might think) I had to do some grinding to get it on. But now it looks all original and beautiful.
Hey, the wood on this Yugo is gorgeous. Do you have any more info on any finishing work that was done to it? Looks like just a blonde stain with no oil?

Izhevsk arsenal is also know as Izmash. They are the manufacturing plant located in the city of Izhevsk. Izmash is short for Izhevsk Mechanical Works. Just a way to say it easier.
I have an SKS (the Russian made version). It was manufactured in 1950 and stayed in storage there (in Russia) until I bought it last year. But the one I have has been limited to a 5 round capacity because of Canadian gun laws. It's a very fun Rifle to shoot and the ammunition is very cheap (almost as cheap as .22 ammuntion). It doesn't kick as much as you'd expect either.
@jasonsg4111 what, 5 round limet, if you live by montana you should come by, i dont think there is a limet on how many rounds you cna have. like the only gun law is consciled and dont shoot anyone with them.
Nice shooting, not bad for the weight of that thing, I love my Yugo, its never given me any problems, and it was one that was brought back over after ww2, long story about that but you can message me if you care to hear it. But I think the Yugo's are some of the best, diffently made to last.
well mansonfollower15 i have a mosin Nagant and its pretty fun to shoot recently i'm actually looking at sks cause i have the money to buy one now so idk mosins are cheaper than shit but good quality ( i would no order on line you probably have some nearby) personally i was going to get a ak century but those are like bottom of the line ak's and yugo sks are not bad at all and $100 cheaper so im goign with the sks
hey everyone im new to the rifle stuff lol and i have a question ive been thinkin about you said the SKS is 7.62x39 well i have a remington 710 30-06 and its 7.62x63 is there any relation to these 2 cartridges? thx for all the help!!
They both are designated as a .30 caliber round, but they are totally different cartridges, respectively.
For instance, 9x19mm Parabellum uses a casing which is 19mm long, but the 9mm Makarov uses a .365 diameter bullet and a casing which is 18mm long.
Likewise, the .30-06 uses a standard .308 diameter bullet, while the 7.62x39mm uses a .311 diameter bullet. That kind of adds to the confusion a little for people not in the know.
im going to try to help you too i hope i dont confuse you more. but 1 the 30-06 is a .308 diameter bullet but a longer casing then the 7.62 nato. 2 even though the 30-06 is designated 7.62 there is no real relation to the 7.62x39 other than they are both .30 caliber
hope i helped, i am willing to answer other ?s for ya too
Unless I didn't make it clear, the 7.62x39mm is considered a medium range, intermediate cartridge, compared to the .30-06, which is easily capable of 800-1000 yard shots.
thanks for the reply. in terms of price what are we looking at for the g43. because the sks is dirt freaking cheap but i really have no idea how to find a gewher.
The prices of G43s are all over the place. There are a few variants of the rifle floating around, with some models bringing more money. Then you have the factor of unit markings, factory code, year of manufacturer, etc.
In general, I have never seen one sell below $400, with many examples bringing around $600-750 on average. Pristine examples can fetch $1000-$1500 easily, especially with original optics.
Gun shows are a good place to look. Proceed with caution...
whats the difference between the sks and the g43 german made rifle. i understand theres different makes but is there anything different things about them because they look almost similar
The G43 and SKS are both self loading semi automatic rifles, but in different calibers. The G43 fires an 8mm Mauser which is a full sized cartridge, while the 7.62x39mm fired by the SKS is more of an intermediate range cartridge.
All in all, in terms of overall handling and operation they are similar, but with different design characteristics, respectively.
I can't remember if the G43 is piston driven or not. The SKS is...
Why do you care if those are real grenades? All the power to him if he is that prepared. Granted its illegial IF they are real but who truley cares unless he is some wacko nut job going Postal.
Is there a good place to find Yugoslavian SKS rifles in the gulf coast of Mississippi? I could find a place on my own, but it would be a pain in the ass.
I must say I like the pronouncement discussion I have birthed on this video with other people not even directly involved lol. It's nice to see other enlightened people interested in firearms still exhist! Sorry for the trouble lol.
I have 2 SKS's.A Chinese[Norinco] and a Russian[1952].The Chinese SKS is more accurate but the russian seems a little better in fit and finish.They are both robust, well designed rifles.Siminov knew his stuff and brought us a beautifully engineered firearm, much better than it's cheap price would suggest.
i love my sks,i have a china made model but it is not norinco.but i never had a jam and i did a test run of a thousand rounds with out cleaing.weapon ran flawless no hickups.
Question do these guns jam alot or are they reliable because i was thinking about buying a yugo sks or a p95-rugger 9mm but im having second thoughts about the sks because i heard they jam alot and are not a reliable gun but they do look fun please respond thanks.
I am not an "expert" on either one but a Yugo SKS is such a sweet rifle provided you find a good one. Rugers are sweet too but once you get a Yugo and shoot it you will fall in love.
Thank you for you sacrifice Iraqveteran8888, I own two sks's, one for each hand. haha I know they will serve me well when called apon just as you and our military have. Soon it will be in the hands of the people, untill then we need to be prepared.
Great video - but let's all start pronouncing carbine ''car-BYNE'' and not ''car-BEAN.'' It simply kills my soul. I realize it's the popular way of pronouncing it but I have had the honor of talking to a handful of WW2/Vietnam vets who agree with me.... thank god... that is all. Happy shooting!!
There are lots of things that people have taking an inkling to saying incorrectly.
Just like Mosin Nagant. I say it like a redneck and I don't care, but it doesn't mean I don't know that the propersay to say it is: MA-SIN NAY-GAN. It doesn't even have a T on it...lol
CAR-BEAN is just one of those types of words that IMO sounds better than CAR-BINE. IMO saying CAR-BINE just sounds snooty to my ear. Would you walk up to Carbine Williams and say "Hello Mr. CAR-BINE"
I understand. Where you prefer "car-bean" as to stay with a consistency and not sound snooty, I prefer "car-bine" - not to sound snooty or smarter but it's not so rednecky. I strive to educate ignorant people who find guns to be only for republican idiots and inbred scum and show them the error of their beliefs. I respect your point of view fully and your videos help my objective tremendously. Also, who's Carbine Williams?
This is true, you don't. But out of curiosity...why? Why does one sound better than the other to you? I myslef am satisfied on pronouncing it correctly.
Do you put gasoLYNE in your vehicle or gasoLEAN? lol.
Good point... but now that you mention it I'm going to start putting gasoLYNE into my tank just to stay with a theme! I can't say why it bothers me so much. I guess whenever I hear it said it brings pictures of trailer parks, cheap beer and cheetos to mind.... but you make a good point, regardless. Happy shooting to you!!
The "former Yugoslavian country" that Rugersix was thinking of is Serbia. Specifically Zastava arms which is located in the city of Belgrade I believe.
i paid 150 for my norico sks. it came with a no name folding stock, and two 40 round bannana clips works flawlessly the thing was a gangsters gun and it still had cosmeline in it with the stock and everything rifleing if perfect and no visible wear or wear of the blueing anywehre
last time i saw an enfield for sale 125 it was in dencen shape, butstock a little pitted but it was nice, however we have to deal with the 5 round magazine cap for semi autos, and ak47 are illegal and handguns with barrels shorter then 4 inches are a no dice

@eLO419 No that is what the russians used, and what the sks would normally use
After maybe a 1000 shots you might want to try cleaning out any gummed up lacquer in the chamber

Amazing weapon. I have a Norinco Type 56 SKS. I bought it through impact guns about 5 years ago for $250 as my first gun. It had a composite folding stock and a 30 mag on it when I bought it. I switched the 30 round mag for the standard 10 and put a yugo wood stock on it (which doesnt fit as well on a Norinco as you might think) I had to do some grinding to get it on. But now it looks all original and beautiful.

Hey, the wood on this Yugo is gorgeous. Do you have any more info on any finishing work that was done to it? Looks like just a blonde stain with no oil?

Izhevsk arsenal is also know as Izmash. They are the manufacturing plant located in the city of Izhevsk. Izmash is short for Izhevsk Mechanical Works. Just a way to say it easier.

I have an SKS (the Russian made version). It was manufactured in 1950 and stayed in storage there (in Russia) until I bought it last year. But the one I have has been limited to a 5 round capacity because of Canadian gun laws. It's a very fun Rifle to shoot and the ammunition is very cheap (almost as cheap as .22 ammuntion). It doesn't kick as much as you'd expect either.

Nice shooting, not bad for the weight of that thing, I love my Yugo, its never given me any problems, and it was one that was brought back over after ww2, long story about that but you can message me if you care to hear it. But I think the Yugo's are some of the best, diffently made to last.

The SKS fires an intermediate cartridge, so it isn't a true battle rifle like the Mosin-Nagant or SVT-40.

Correction for you:
The SKS was in produced at the Tula Armory from 1949 until 1955 and the Izhevsk Armory in 1953 and 1954.
I have a numbers matching 1954r SKS with Tula armory markings (blade bayonet inc.).
PM me for pics and proof markings if needed.
NO disrespect to this video or you, just pointing out a discrepancy.

hey everyone im new to the rifle stuff lol and i have a question ive been thinkin about you said the SKS is 7.62x39 well i have a remington 710 30-06 and its 7.62x63 is there any relation to these 2 cartridges? thx for all the help!!
96RebelJeepZJ 2 years ago
They both are designated as a .30 caliber round, but they are totally different cartridges, respectively.
For instance, 9x19mm Parabellum uses a casing which is 19mm long, but the 9mm Makarov uses a .365 diameter bullet and a casing which is 18mm long.
Likewise, the .30-06 uses a standard .308 diameter bullet, while the 7.62x39mm uses a .311 diameter bullet. That kind of adds to the confusion a little for people not in the know.
7.62x54r- .311-.313" diameter bullet.
7.61x51mm- .308"
Iraqveteran8888 2 years ago
@Iraqveteran8888 so the 30-06 is a .308 ? wow this is a little confusing haha
96RebelJeepZJ 2 years ago
im going to try to help you too i hope i dont confuse you more. but 1 the 30-06 is a .308 diameter bullet but a longer casing then the 7.62 nato. 2 even though the 30-06 is designated 7.62 there is no real relation to the 7.62x39 other than they are both .30 caliber
hope i helped, i am willing to answer other ?s for ya too
xXpreflexXx 2 years ago
@96RebelJeepZJ
Unless I didn't make it clear, the 7.62x39mm is considered a medium range, intermediate cartridge, compared to the .30-06, which is easily capable of 800-1000 yard shots.
Iraqveteran8888 2 years ago
thanks for the reply. in terms of price what are we looking at for the g43. because the sks is dirt freaking cheap but i really have no idea how to find a gewher.
coozy100 2 years ago
@coozy100
The prices of G43s are all over the place. There are a few variants of the rifle floating around, with some models bringing more money. Then you have the factor of unit markings, factory code, year of manufacturer, etc.
In general, I have never seen one sell below $400, with many examples bringing around $600-750 on average. Pristine examples can fetch $1000-$1500 easily, especially with original optics.
Gun shows are a good place to look. Proceed with caution...
Iraqveteran8888 2 years ago
whats the difference between the sks and the g43 german made rifle. i understand theres different makes but is there anything different things about them because they look almost similar
coozy100 2 years ago
@coozy100
The G43 and SKS are both self loading semi automatic rifles, but in different calibers. The G43 fires an 8mm Mauser which is a full sized cartridge, while the 7.62x39mm fired by the SKS is more of an intermediate range cartridge.
All in all, in terms of overall handling and operation they are similar, but with different design characteristics, respectively.
I can't remember if the G43 is piston driven or not. The SKS is...

"Izhevsk" - pronounce it like this: "ee-shevsk". (Put the emphasis on the second syllable , i think)
Now just replace the "s" with a "z" for that characteristic Roosky sound, and you won't be far off ;)

I have 2 SKS's.A Chinese[Norinco] and a Russian[1952].The Chinese SKS is more accurate but the russian seems a little better in fit and finish.They are both robust, well designed rifles.Siminov knew his stuff and brought us a beautifully engineered firearm, much better than it's cheap price would suggest.

Great video - but let's all start pronouncing carbine ''car-BYNE'' and not ''car-BEAN.'' It simply kills my soul. I realize it's the popular way of pronouncing it but I have had the honor of talking to a handful of WW2/Vietnam vets who agree with me.... thank god... that is all. Happy shooting!!
armoredsoldner 2 years ago 2
There are lots of things that people have taking an inkling to saying incorrectly.
Just like Mosin Nagant. I say it like a redneck and I don't care, but it doesn't mean I don't know that the propersay to say it is: MA-SIN NAY-GAN. It doesn't even have a T on it...lol
CAR-BEAN is just one of those types of words that IMO sounds better than CAR-BINE. IMO saying CAR-BINE just sounds snooty to my ear. Would you walk up to Carbine Williams and say "Hello Mr. CAR-BINE"
Youre point is taken
Iraqveteran8888 2 years ago
I understand. Where you prefer "car-bean" as to stay with a consistency and not sound snooty, I prefer "car-bine" - not to sound snooty or smarter but it's not so rednecky. I strive to educate ignorant people who find guns to be only for republican idiots and inbred scum and show them the error of their beliefs. I respect your point of view fully and your videos help my objective tremendously. Also, who's Carbine Williams?
