I haven't shot an ak but the mag is pretty much the same as a cz 858(vz58) I personally like 10 round stripper clips, they are fast to reload and I can carry 200 rds in my bandoleer and it doesn't interfer with mobility at all. I'm guessing that having 8 25rd mags would get pretty cumbersome!!!
good one bro.... your out of ammo facing us canadians in a gun fight, wow... shows how bad a shot you americans are. but if you run out of ammo, your dead... dumbass.....
@ShadySLAYER666 longer barrels don't mean accuracy. the Kalashnikov is inaccurate because of the bolt system. Go back to call of duty. -spoken from a real 16 year old.
@Branski81 Actually, longer barrels do mean more accuracy. The longer the barrel means it has more travel time in the barrel and makes it shoot more straight. The bolt doesn't really contribute to accuracy. I think it's the way the gases are released out. Bolt actions are typically more accurate because it balances gas more easily. Why do you think sniper's and hunting rifles have longer barrels?
@WalrusLord756 okay, yeah, theres a difference between a 14" barrel and a 22". but have you ever charged an AK? the bolt is huge. and it is slightly offset. go look up a video where the AK is shooting in slow mo. The barrel bounces because of the bolt sliding back so fast and because it is so heavy.
@Branski81 Yes an AK's bolt is a pretty big chunk of metal, and the barrel bounces due to recoil. And the AK47 is an old gun coming into service in the 50's its nearly 80 years old. Technology has evolved so much like the AR15 has a buffer tube so their bolt is practicly in the stock. And shooting the 5.56 round. They're pretty accurate My uncle shot a dime at 50 yards with his. The SKS is a couple years older. Of course, mines all pimped out with Tapco stuff. But it's still the basic rifle.
@1anthonybrowning not that i know of. tapco makes a 20 rd mag for sks, but it requires you to also use their stock. at wich point you will have spent an ak budget on an sks. not saying thats bad though
both weapons are great but the ak personally, i think is more reliable. aside from the fact that the ak has mags the ak can get water dirt mud snow pretty much anything in its action chamber barell etc and will work fine. i have not shot an sks so i would not know if this is the same case. if you like older guns like me get the sks im getting a moin nagant soon which is the older russian battle rifle just thought id share my opinion
i built my folder(sks) from a woody and have never had a problem changing magazines. i hate stripper clips; unless its a last resort. and im a novice "smith" perhaps noob is more accurate term. i do like the mags on the ak better w/out the nose; and it makes it easy to grab the right one outta the bag since they are different...my 2 cents
I noticed you said the sks was a chinese made sks. I also know that the Rusian sks had a 9" knife like bayonete, and the chinese had a skiny little 12" or so spike bayonete. If yours has a star with a arrow pointing towards the end of the barrell in the the star, then it was made in the tula, russia plant. Unless you changed the bayonete. Just thought i'd let you know
@MrPainkiller616 i picked up a chinise sks for 160 had the addon detachable mag with it and its great works good reloading is kinda of a pain but i practice reloading my guns an time my self an i can reload a clip in about 5-8 sec you just have to get used to it
hmmm i never saw this vid, its a good one for sure. i had a wasr10/63 for a while, but i traded it for a marlin 336cs and some cash. honestly i'll keep my lever gun, its wayyy more accurate and 30/30 is more powerful. plus i dont have to fiddle with mags.
@bluefalcon20002 what you said just showed that i was correct. also an ak47 or sks will NEVER be as accurate as a marlin lever action. they just arent built to the same tolerances. you take an ak and ill take my 336 and we'll see who hits who at 200yds ok?
@bluefalcon20002 i'm not arguing that the 7.62/39 cartridge doesn't have the power to make it there. i'm saying the ak is not going to be near as easy to make the shot with. especially with iron sights. i know for a fact that i can hit center mass on a man sized target at 200yds with MY (keyword there) 336 on the 1st shot. i dont think you could do that with an ak. maybe in 3 shots but not 1. i owned a WASR10/63 and have shot a yugo m70ab2 as well, they are not that accurate.
with the rom mv i can hit a 200 meter man sized target over and over again with surplus ammo.on iron sites. The same goes for the either of the sks's. They are decent battle rifles and function well. hell 300 meters isn't that hard to do.
Only reason getting the SKS over an AK is that a Yugo SKS is 350 and for sure is a damn good rifle while AK's are trikier to find a decent one for under 800 and you would have blown you budget on you AK while with an SKS you can customize it and order a couple thousand rounds for the price of an AK
Think the reason the SKS is so popular is that for many people(especially here in europe) its so much easier to get a license/permit for a semi than for a full auto weapon. In the UK for example the only way you can own an AK is if you have a government armoury remove the entire gas system.
@Saigax12 England(UK), where its fairly easy to get a shotgun license. But any other type of gun requires a Firearms license where you have to give a specific reasons for why you need each specific gun you're planning to buy, and the police decide if they wish to let you own one. Self defence is not considered a good enough reason automatic and burst weapons are absolutely forbidden for all civilians.
@DefconBravo I hear that. Over here, full auto, burst ect is not "illegal", but you have to be rich to own it. When you say shotguns, what kind? like ANY shotgun? or just a break action (single shot)?
@Saigax12 Single and double barrelled break action are the most common, but you're allowed pump/lever action as long as the shotgun cant hold more than 3 rounds at a time(2 magazine + 1). There's also a minimum barrel length requirement of 24 inches. I think solid slugs are legal(not sure), but rifled barrels are not.
Over here (US), we typically stick to pump when it comes to shotguns. Typical model (Remington 870, 4+1 pump action), runs about 300 american, or around 230 euro, or 191 pounds.
If your willing to pay about 600 US, you can get a saiga (semi auto, box magaine in 5, 10, 20, or 30 rounds). Its a nice option to have. But any firearm is better than none. And how old do you have to be to own?
@Saigax12 You could probably expect to pay double that for a remington 870. Even taking into account that everything in britain is more expensive(due to higher cost of living etc), they're still far more expensive to get. Plus you gotta figure about 80 bucks for the license, 60 bucks every few years to renew the license, and the law requires you to have a lockable container for each firearm. Minimum age to buy a firearm is 18, minimum age to own and use one is 14.
@Saigax12 About 8 weeks, give or take. Depends on how busy they are.
Requires you to find a person who has known you for atleast 2 years to sign off that they believe you are not a dangerous person or gonna use it for crime or whatever. Firearm application is a bit longer.
are the rear sights on these two rifles the same? i know the elevator is shaped different but the actual sight with the distances on it, are they the same? could you take an sks rear sight and put it on an ak?
@superspazz61 correct. But longer barrels usually give longer sight radius the extra mass lessens shaking while aiming and thus indirectly make for better accuracy...
I can load the sks mag faster with stripper clips than loading a whole ak mag. The SKS is more accurate but that AK will keep the enemy's head down alot longer.
I own several of both and the Ak is a superior weapon but the SKS is fine firearm for defence as well. Similiar accuracy, AK has better magazine capacity and is more compact. That being said, one can buy a SKS "paratrooper" model that has same barrel length as the AK. That being said, a longer barrel doesn't improve accuracy. Accuracy is dependent on a number of other factors. Nice Vid.
i have an SKS but i put tons of stuff on it like a new stock and mags and all that good stuff and i love it so i wound go with the SKS because they don't make them anymore so in time the value will go up and then you can sell it
downside AK, the SKS neevr needs a magazine If you have only 3 rounds, thats okay. you can still have them all ready to fire without the use of a magazine thats a positive point in my eyes.
I've been able to find videos where AK47s and DRACO AK47 pistols have blown up. Does the AK47 breach have less strength than the SKS milled breach? As I understand it, the milled SKS cost more to manufacture and that was one of the reasons the AK47 was developed.
@bn12595 the ak is stamped and there are some really thin walls on some. when looking for an ak really check the thickness of its walls and make sure the rivets are in proper placement not popping out cracking wall wear on any kind. there are just so many out there. some are crap some are not.
@fuyingbro I saw that there is an SKS-M (true paratrooper with AK mags in our local paper). You get a 16" barrel, all milled SKS, but uses AK mags. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
@bn12595 that would be sweet. although i believe you can convert chiniese sks to take ak mags. you can mod any sks to take tapco 20 round mags. you can also get a mod that takes away the duck bill on the mag for quick insert and release. and get a extended mag release. and you can mod the bolt to allow you to drop and insert a mag without charging the bolt. and a deflector cover. lots of stuff can be done to make a sks a reallllly strong ak even a 100round drum that would be heaven.
I have both weapons - Russian SKS & a MAK 90 made in China. You are correct on all accounts, SKS is a better (more accurate) rifle & the AK is a much easier to load many more
rounds [ up to seventy five with the drum mag] although I am happier with the 30 & 40 Round clips.So many of both weapons made, that the 7.62x 39mm round is very affordable.Really enjoy both weapons much.
it had nothing to do with eithier they dont' even share design features. The ak47 came more likely out of a German stu 44 idea of a magazine fed fully rifle.
you sure have the same thoughts on sks and aks i only hate the mags with sks as far as accuracy sks is better but i prefer ak 47 mainly cuz mag but that ak is also little more sexy lol
@bg8510 Stripper clips make reloading 10 times quicker, though there is a trick to them. I found mine on Ebay, they are cheap there, I think I got 10 for like $6 plus shipping. I think they are cool, and in a SHTF situation you will appreciate the speedy reload.
@182511419139208 Where did this come from? When did the video talk about full auto weapons? I hope everyone knows there is a semi-auto version of the AK-47.
@MidniteJae I dont remember him saying it was semi auto only. If both rifles in the vid were semi auto them the AK would be better because it's magazine fed with 30 round mags. IMO
@182511419139208 If you watch the video carefully, when he shows the close-up of the AK, you will find only the safety mechanism. There's no select-fire switch, therefore the AK47 in this particular video is semi-automatic. So, no, he never mentions it specifically but anyone who is familiar with AKs can tell by inspection.
the SKS is more accurate than the AK, because yes, the barrel's longer, but you missed one thing the SKS also has a short stroke gas system vs the AK long stroke system,
@24GordonFan223 Having a longer barrel has very little to do with accuracy. The AK will beat a SKS hands down... the SKS is a breachblock system were the AK has a bolt. breach lock can't keep the same consistancy as the locking bolt so you end up with wild velocity swings. combine that with the "bump" gas piston SKS vs the intigrated gas piston of the AK, the AK firing harmonics will win hands down.
@24GordonFan223 Man...YOU are the only person on YouTube that knows this besides myself. The AK has so much mass connected to the bolt assembly that it causes a major whip in the barrel. The SKS breaks up this gas system into three parts: Gas piston, Piston Extension and Bolt/carrier. Barrel lenght only has to do with sight radius and muzzel velocity.
@Arwrologist Barrel whip and and the mass of the bolt leading to less accuracy is a more theoretical statement then true statement. The M1 Garand has just as much mass of the AK if not more, and nobody says the M1 Garand is less accurate because of that. I'm fairly certain the bullet has left the barrel before the operating parts move. I'm not a gunsmith or engineer, but I do not think the mass of the bolt is a factor.
@esh325 The AK has it's bolt, carrier and piston connect as one piece. The Garand does not, nor does the SKS. Many gunsmiths, including myself, feel this has an effect on accuracy. The bullet is out the barrel, I believe. I have not read a study on the subject, but generally this is true. The AK, M14 and SKS were designed for rapid fire and having the AK barrel whip as it does throws bullets into, at minimum, into a 7 moa cone in rapid/auto fire. (cont.)
@esh325 Please understand I am not trying to talk down to you or anyone, and I certainly am no expert on the AK...so what I say is an opinion derived from 30 years of shooting & working on firearms. The gas piston upgrade for the AR-15 uses a disconnected piston system like the SKS. I have been told by more knowledgeable people, that this was to reduce the reciprical weight. BTW, I don't run into many people who admit to liking Classical music as I do. Thanks for NOT using bad language. Johnny
Im a very big fan of the AK47. ive shot it before, on an organized military trip in israel. It shot great for me, was very consistent, and from what the instructors were telling us, it is extreme reliable, especially for them, since they need it to work even when they are laying down in sand. The instructors were ex israeli special forces, and they taught us to use a ton of different guns. i think this is the companys website, lionops.com
These guns are the reason why we have so much crime in America. We need to ban them. There are plenty of mass shootings that happen with assault rifles like this.
@Fire23eater not it's not you're fucking retarded it's because all the dirt drug dealers and mexican cartel that come over here you you say dumb shit European
@Fire23eater I not mad or anything, you have the right to say so, but get your terminology and facts right before forming your opinion. First of all, neither weapon you see is an assault weapon. Assault weapons have the option of fully automatic fire. Secondly it has been proven time and time again that when people are allowed firearms, crime goes down. Google is helpful, learn to use it.
@182511419139208 That is such a terrible and annoying counter argument, and everyone who uses it is a moron. No one ever says guns cause crime. It is indisputable, however, that guns do make it much, much easier to commit pretty much any crime one can think of, especially when carrying loaded firearms isn't the norm for most people (subsequent victims). That is reason enough to be restrictive in their ownership. That said, I love guns, and won't be without one!
the answer to your question is yes. also beastiality. and weird german porn. but not everyone with a video camera is trying to make weird porn. just like not everyone with a gun is trying to rob a liquor store... (unless you're black)
@Fire23eater Read the definition of "Assault Rifle" as defined by the people who designed and built them...the militaries of the world, not the media. An Assualt Rifle is ALLWAYS select fire. These are semi-auto only! I invite you to attend an Appleseed, and we will instruct you on Rifle Marksmanship and American Heritage. Cost is $70. at most for 2 days. Go to RWVA dot ORG....PLEASE!
well 47 & 74 tulas were milled 4 a while but got 2 costly. & 4 the price you cant beat an SKS. i payed $225 for my yugo, did a kavarri trigger, murrys firing pin & spring, choate stock, & was still well under what i payed 4 my milled valmet. with commie rounds the MOA on the SKS is a little better, but with handloads their the same out 2 about 400yd. then i pull out my krebs & blow both away. & in case the SHTF i have an un-bent polish F/A receiver & parts, but SKS's cant handle F/A use safely
Sks vs ak ? It depends on how well the ak is made ie stamped receiver or milled receiver. as for reloading of the sks been that there is only a 10 rd box mag, stripper clips and range time makes all the difference I got my reload time with stripper clips down to 8 to 10 sec with combat accuracy at 50yards. Don't beleve me check out my vid....
i have own the AK47,ak74 the russian sks yogo M56 sks and the norinco sks, and for me the sks e the ak by a mile once you get past the mag the sks just is a better wepon. from the accuracy to the recoil and the check weld to the stock. it is just a better made gun no canted sites no lose mags and the trigger pull on the sks is just a lot smother, and the best part of the sks is that there anr no stamped parts at all.
@davidiskool18 and a quality AK will have none of those problems including accuracy. theres a reason the russians adopted the AK & not the SKS which isnt considered an assault rifle. the US is flooded with hacked up Ak's like the WASR, imported in peices & put together by chimps. most people have never seen a well built AK
@svbummin well yes the russian wepons are grate dont get me wrong i own a true russian Ak 74 from tula arms i love it but any tula or russian gun is vary hard to come by. and i know that the sks is not an assault rifle it is a battle rifle. and when it comes to the accuracy an sks is far better. take one out you will see the driffance right away. the re-coil is a lot better that helps you stay on target
@svbummin and lets face it even a tula ak is stamped. so the wepon is still a bit curde. there are milled ak's but when you find them you will pay out your nose for it. where a sks is all milled and even less parts then a ak lol. but when it comes down to the brass tacks of it, it is still what you like in the end. and if the world was to come the a end tomarrow i would go for my ak74 all day long.
If we were coming we would bring better rifles than those shitty SKS ones, lol. I got one and it couldn't hit sand if it fell off of a camel!!! I prefer my M4 or my CZ 858. AKs are prohib in Canada other wise i'd own one.
I'll say that the SKS is much better because it was built with better accuracy in mind and Simonov was the one who decided to use the gas blow back tube and Kalashnikov took it and built the AK47
chinese sks really ,,are you sure looks russian to me..chinese have plain hard wood stocks and spike bayonets....might want to give that a rethink dude ,,but ok vid other wise,,take care ,,from OLD CANADA.
I know it was just an opinion , however the 20 round detachable mags for SKS's are no more difficult to change than an AK magazine ... Yes I have both rifles (Well my AK is a Saiga version highly modified )
I have an AK and SKS, first I got an AK and then an SKS; however, I love my SKS way more then an AK. For me SKS is a better built rifle and i get better accuracy with i. I don live in a war zone and only shoot for fun, they are semi-auto and for me an extra rounds don't make much of a difference. Now i want an AK-74.
Now I don't even bother bringing my AK to the range.
long barrel does NOT always translate to better accuracy, you dolt.

@DefconBravo I hear that. Over here, full auto, burst ect is not "illegal", but you have to be rich to own it. When you say shotguns, what kind? like ANY shotgun? or just a break action (single shot)?
Saigax12 1 month ago
@Saigax12 Single and double barrelled break action are the most common, but you're allowed pump/lever action as long as the shotgun cant hold more than 3 rounds at a time(2 magazine + 1). There's also a minimum barrel length requirement of 24 inches. I think solid slugs are legal(not sure), but rifled barrels are not.
DefconBravo 1 month ago
@DefconBravo i see. How expensive are they?
Over here (US), we typically stick to pump when it comes to shotguns. Typical model (Remington 870, 4+1 pump action), runs about 300 american, or around 230 euro, or 191 pounds.
If your willing to pay about 600 US, you can get a saiga (semi auto, box magaine in 5, 10, 20, or 30 rounds). Its a nice option to have. But any firearm is better than none. And how old do you have to be to own?
Saigax12 1 month ago
@Saigax12 You could probably expect to pay double that for a remington 870. Even taking into account that everything in britain is more expensive(due to higher cost of living etc), they're still far more expensive to get. Plus you gotta figure about 80 bucks for the license, 60 bucks every few years to renew the license, and the law requires you to have a lockable container for each firearm. Minimum age to buy a firearm is 18, minimum age to own and use one is 14.

For the hunter, the SKS travels thru the bush better, shoots straighter, and the bayonet's handy and legal after sundown, at the campsite.

1. The SKS is also more accurate because it has a tighter bolt.

@superspazz61 correct. But longer barrels usually give longer sight radius the extra mass lessens shaking while aiming and thus indirectly make for better accuracy...

federalwarhawk 2 months ago
I own several of both and the Ak is a superior weapon but the SKS is fine firearm for defence as well. Similiar accuracy, AK has better magazine capacity and is more compact. That being said, one can buy a SKS "paratrooper" model that has same barrel length as the AK. That being said, a longer barrel doesn't improve accuracy. Accuracy is dependent on a number of other factors. Nice Vid.

I've been able to find videos where AK47s and DRACO AK47 pistols have blown up. Does the AK47 breach have less strength than the SKS milled breach? As I understand it, the milled SKS cost more to manufacture and that was one of the reasons the AK47 was developed.
bn12595 2 months ago
@bn12595 the ak is stamped and there are some really thin walls on some. when looking for an ak really check the thickness of its walls and make sure the rivets are in proper placement not popping out cracking wall wear on any kind. there are just so many out there. some are crap some are not.

@fuyingbro I saw that there is an SKS-M (true paratrooper with AK mags in our local paper). You get a 16" barrel, all milled SKS, but uses AK mags. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
bn12595 2 months ago
@bn12595 that would be sweet. although i believe you can convert chiniese sks to take ak mags. you can mod any sks to take tapco 20 round mags. you can also get a mod that takes away the duck bill on the mag for quick insert and release. and get a extended mag release. and you can mod the bolt to allow you to drop and insert a mag without charging the bolt. and a deflector cover. lots of stuff can be done to make a sks a reallllly strong ak even a 100round drum that would be heaven.
fuyingbro 2 months ago
I have both weapons - Russian SKS & a MAK 90 made in China. You are correct on all accounts, SKS is a better (more accurate) rifle & the AK is a much easier to load many more
rounds [ up to seventy five with the drum mag] although I am happier with the 30 & 40 Round clips.So many of both weapons made, that the 7.62x 39mm round is very affordable.Really enjoy both weapons much.

@182511419139208 If you watch the video carefully, when he shows the close-up of the AK, you will find only the safety mechanism.

the SKS is more accurate than the AK, because yes, the barrel's longer, but you missed one thing the SKS also has a short stroke gas system vs the AK long stroke system,
24GordonFan223 2 months ago 2
@24GordonFan223 Having a longer barrel has very little to do with accuracy. The AK will beat a SKS hands down... the SKS is a breachblock system were the AK has a bolt. breach lock can't keep the same consistancy as the locking bolt so you end up with wild velocity swings. combine that with the "bump" gas piston SKS vs the intigrated gas piston of the AK, the AK firing harmonics will win hands down.
TechNeck101 2 months ago
@24GordonFan223 Man...YOU are the only person on YouTube that knows this besides myself. The AK has so much mass connected to the bolt assembly that it causes a major whip in the barrel. The SKS breaks up this gas system into three parts: Gas piston, Piston Extension and Bolt/carrier. Barrel lenght only has to do with sight radius and muzzel velocity.
Arwrologist 1 month ago
@Arwrologist Barrel whip and and the mass of the bolt leading to less accuracy is a more theoretical statement then true statement. The M1 Garand has just as much mass of the AK if not more, and nobody says the M1 Garand is less accurate because of that. I'm fairly certain the bullet has left the barrel before the operating parts move. I'm not a gunsmith or engineer, but I do not think the mass of the bolt is a factor.
esh325 1 month ago
@esh325 The AK has it's bolt, carrier and piston connect as one piece. The Garand does not, nor does the SKS. Many gunsmiths, including myself, feel this has an effect on accuracy. The bullet is out the barrel, I believe. I have not read a study on the subject, but generally this is true. The AK, M14 and SKS were designed for rapid fire and having the AK barrel whip as it does throws bullets into, at minimum, into a 7 moa cone in rapid/auto fire. (cont.)
Arwrologist 1 month ago
@Arwrologist The bolt is a seperate piece on the AK. The M1 Garand has the piston attached to the operating rod just like the AK does.
esh325 1 month ago
@esh325 Please understand I am not trying to talk down to you or anyone, and I certainly am no expert on the AK...so what I say is an opinion derived from 30 years of shooting & working on firearms. The gas piston upgrade for the AR-15 uses a disconnected piston system like the SKS. I have been told by more knowledgeable people, that this was to reduce the reciprical weight. BTW, I don't run into many people who admit to liking Classical music as I do. Thanks for NOT using bad language. Johnny

Im a very big fan of the AK47. ive shot it before, on an organized military trip in israel. It shot great for me, was very consistent, and from what the instructors were telling us, it is extreme reliable, especially for them, since they need it to work even when they are laying down in sand. The instructors were ex israeli special forces, and they taught us to use a ton of different guns. i think this is the companys website, lionops.com

That is reason enough to be restrictive in their ownership. That said, I love guns, and won't be without one!

Sks vs ak ? It depends on how well the ak is made ie stamped receiver or milled receiver. as for reloading of the sks been that there is only a 10 rd box mag, stripper clips and range time makes all the difference I got my reload time with stripper clips down to 8 to 10 sec with combat accuracy at 50yards.
