Ten Rounds with an SKS

[iNorman01]

as soon as i saw the significant amount of dislikes, I searched up another video...

[nickblackburn78]

The shells eject upward

[bber45]

Nice looking yugo bro :)

[Dragunov1185]

Am i the only one in love with that wood!?

[samerjam101]

@Dragunov1185 thats what she said

[Dragunov1185]

@samerjam101 xDDD

[TheSuperspudnik]

if that were me shooting my Yugo SKS i would have finished 0:12 i have a trigger finger

[reaperflynn3]

Looks like your SKS has been dragged through combat! Mine I don't think have ever been shot, certainly was never issued.

[theblacksheep1000]

HAHA put the camera on the other side, cause those shells really fling out of there

[JDK1981]

hey How are the Peep sight systems for your SKS? i was thinking about getting one for mine, but i want the one that mounts on the side of the recever, hows yours work out for you? ive heard mixed feelings.

[countrycanid]

@JDK1981 The peep scope? It's alright. It isn't a particularly complex thing. The mount is a complete aftermarket rear cover with a hollow mount so you can use the irons by looking under the scope. However given the nature of the SKS rear cover it does not hold a zero at all, so it really is only good for a peep scope and not much for accuracy. It's a handy thing though, I use it for checking round placement when firing outside a range that I could otherwise easily see target impact.

[TangoFasho1]

basterd!!!!

[giggleshooter]

not tryin to be mean but dude its called an assult rifle for a reason not a sniper rifle

[JulietBravoZulu]

@giggleshooter The SKS is neither an assault rifle or a sniper rifle. It doesn't meet the criterion to be considered as such.

[LeopardGeckoExpert]

@JulietBravoZulu It is considered an assualt rifle. certainly not a sniper lol, but it is an assault rifle.

[JulietBravoZulu]

@LeopardGeckoExpert By whom, the media? An SKS is not an assault rifle. If it was, then it would be select fire, that's what defines a true assault rifle. The SKS is just a semi automatic carbine with a ten round, stripper clip fed, fixed magazine. Not even the State of California considers it to be an assault rifle.

[roentgen571]

@LeopardGeckoExpert assault rifles are capable selecting between full-auto and semi-auto fire. The SKS is semi-only.

[LeopardGeckoExpert]

@roentgen571 okay so why does it say assault rifle on the registration smart guy? what would you consider it than?

[roentgen571]

@LeopardGeckoExpert I don't know what to tell you. Google the definition of "assault rifle," if you don't want to take my word for it. Look it up on wikipedia, and check the articles' sources out for yourself if you don't believe what we tell you.

What would I consider it? It's a semi-auto carbine firing an intermediate-strength rifle round. Putting it in the same catagory as the Kalashnikov or M16 (true assault rifles) misses the important differences between the SKS and those rifles.

[airsofter95062]

WAR HORSE!! GUN

[McChikenWangz]

im so glad you put the camera so close to your hand cus thats totally what i want to see. and y do you grunt alot

[chezypuuf]

robertdihno, I don't get it. What's so off about an SKS with a scope? There are many different types of scope mods for the SKS. There was even a model of SKS that came factory with a scope with intent of being used as a sniper rifle. And that model did serve. I believe it was either China or Russia that used it.

[lexy7191]

lmfao

[robertdihno]

wow, a scope on an sks, kinda like some rims on a red rider wagon

[lliamcoombs]

not too much different than a dragnof is it? (scoped sks)

[crazyace90]

@lliamcoombs different cal. i believe i think the drag is a 7.62x54 not 7.62x39 like this sks. 7.62x54 is harder hitting much harder.

[1tokeover]

@robertdihno Your an idiot

[bubba55l]

LOL!

Not only do I have the same rifle, I think that I have the same carpet stapled on a 2x6 (with a base) as a rest

[martykean1967]

Your camera was WAY TOO CLOSE!

[countrycanid]

That was kind of the idea. I wanted it sitting right up on the bolt. =)

[martykean1967]

I understand, in that case that is an excellent video! I love any vid that has to do with an SKS! So how do you like the Tiger ammo? I've never had the chance to try any. I've been using Brown Bear and I think its great for the money but I see Tiger can be had a bit cheaper.

[maximuslt90]

i use dolphin ammo....

[martykean1967]

Dolphin ammo? I've never heard of that brand. Where do you buy that? Is that your favorite or do you buy it because its really inexpensive?

[maximuslt90]

lol im sorry i was just kidding.....i was merely making fun of the fact that there is tiger, wolf and bear ammo.....thats all.

[martykean1967]

Geez! I usually pick up on stuff like that but I guess I'm brain dead today! LOL!!!

[druisten3]

it's not a sks

it's a m56 of zastava

[rockoutwithmyc0ckout]

ill sell my sks for 100 dollars i live in texas justholler at me dude

[indiemusicreview]

still have it?

[floridabowhunter]

any feeding problems?

i just got a yugo sks and it jams every shot.

it was packed with cosmoline though, ive heard that the gas valves do not work properly and should be replaced with a longer one.

[ARTONY92]

try adjusting the gas valve...

[rugerman3114]

are you shooting surplus russian ammo like wolf brand. or steel case instead of brass. thats your problem. a good clean with hopps solvent will take care of cosmoline. either your feed ramp is shit or you got a worn out sks.

[spetznaz1337]

Did you get all the cosmo off before you shot it? That will definetaly not help you in the jamming department. The gas valves work fine so long as they are kept clean and free of obstruction.

[testofeagle]

i have a SKS with an ACU camo collaspable stock and a 30 round MAG

[nomoreliesfrom44]

Dude SKS's in Maryland are going up in price like crazy. Are they in your state? I bought a nice Yugo in like Feb this year for like $275. Ive been in search of a Romanian one and it was like fully intact with the cleaning rod and all but it was $499. They said their in such high demand and with all thats going on becoming rare. is there any truth to that? It killed me to buy it but I did! LOL I want one! Love them!

[testofeagle]

dude u gotta go to texas for guns man u can buy a new SKS for about 200$ with bayonet cleaning rod. but mines a russain. and i got a ak-101 i think for about 250$ at a pawn shop and 8mm mauser for 100$ and mosin nagant for 80$

[nomoreliesfrom44]

Hell I may move to Texas. But by the time I drive there, pay for gas and hotel and food it might still come out to the $499. LOL I put it on layaway but after I pick it up in 2 weeks Ill have my Yugo, A romanian, my mossberg, my little bersa 9mm, and my toy my Gsg 5! LOL! Its become an obsession for me.

[dunn98632]

my stock was broekn on my SKS so i ended up using a carbon fiber one its good but i wish the original stock was never broekn but things happen yes i could have just got one off EBAY but i figure at the time i would do a update

[rassi13]

oh crap...thanks for talking about how the scope doesnt stay zeroed! i was just about to buy one, i never would have known that!

also i was wondering...i have a russian sks and my bolt carrier is black.. why is yours silver/grey?

[countrycanid]

@rassi13 That is just how it was made. The carrier is bare steel, maybe yours is painted/coated.

[daonejorge]

beautiful gun man, n thats a really good idea with that scope. im looking to get soome sort of sks like this one.

[CoolVidsbyZach]

I have a Yugo sks, Its posted on my profile, I dont see how you can keep a scope zeroed on it though, I wouldnt sugest a scope on it anyways

[countrycanid]

As stated in the comments on the side there, the scope is rear mounted and used for spotting purposes only. The mounts are tall rings with hollow bases to allow me to use the iron sights properly. It doesn't need to keep a zero, because it isn't used to aim the rifle.

[LeeJonB]

@countrycanid This otherwise would bethe worst sniper rifle in the world lol

[countrycanid]

@LeeJonB LOL!

[crazyace90]

@LeeJonB why?

[LeeJonB]

@crazyace90 Because the SKS isnt a long range rifle. You "COULD" use it but after a couple rounds the barrel heats up and affects accuracy. This is mainly an infantry rifle, nothing more. It was made for mid to long range combat. If you want to shoot extreme distances, your better off getting a bolt action that can do the job right!

[Gamera49]

The barrel on any rifle, heats up atfer a couple of rounds,even a bolt action ,why would the sks

suffer accuracy loss, more than any other rifle?

[uaplumber23]

Hmmm, interesting. That kinda what I was thinking.

[uaplumber23]

Very cool. Do those scope mounts stay zeroed in well?

[countrycanid]

Not at all, actually. Because the rear cover floats and moves you can't keep a good zero on the scope. I use it mostly for spotting purposes and aim with the iron sights by looking through the (hollow) scope mount.

[malachismyalias]

where can i find a russian sks with a screw in barrel?

[IRISHMOBSTER55]

i like how you have kept true to the design not given all that stupid ar-15 butt stock and funky stuff to the skscool video.

[countrycanid]

Thanks man. It is all matching stamps and serial numbers, and I plan to keep it that way. A good, clean Yugo SKS is getting tough to find these days and I'm all about the proper preservation of rifles like this. =)

[dynamic21150]

I have a Yugo SKS, but couldn't tell you how old it is, its in really good shape, it has the grenade launcher adapter barrell and sights, a nice bayonet and shoots great!!!

[tjh141994]

look at 1:57 you can actually see the bolt in its rearward position. Nice gun, I have a Chinese type 56 SKS.

[benjkowski]

Great no nonsense video...i too have always enjoyed watching the action on the SKS. That massive chunk of stainless slamming back and forth is beautiful. BTW- if you have a yugo, and you want 20rd mags, the tapco 20rd can be installed on a yugo without any modification. I'll post a link above.

[countrycanid]

The SKS in this video is a Yugo model, so yes I have one. XD

I appreciate the link and stuff but I think I'll leave mine unmodified. There's just something nice about an all original 50+ year old operational rifle.

[killerNC17]

i have a bolt action sks from ww2 it is my favorite gun. i have a 9mm , AR-15 semi-auto , ak-47 , SKS, and a 22 rifle

[ww2guy1945]

There is no such thing as a bolt action sks... are you thinking of a Mosin Nagant?

[killerNC17]

oh sorry. no but i have this gun , same exact just no scope. the gun is the chinese version of an ak-47

[uaplumber23]

No it's not the chinese version of an AK-47. The SKS and AK-47 are two totally different rifles. The only simalarity is that they shoot the 7.62x39 round, whereas the Mosin Nagant shoots the 7.62x54R Round. The (R) meaning "rimmed cartridge"

[Gamera49]

Is the sks accurate at longer range?

[countrycanid]

I've found it hasn't been terribly precise outside 100 yards. Though I haven't had a scope worth zeroing on it yet either. I bet with some work and a stable scope mount I could go a bit further with it.

[utubbombz]

how much was the yugo model?

[countrycanid]

It ran me $250, but I had to strip it and clear out all the cosmoline myself. I've heard they've gone up in price since.

[SKSballistics101]

you dumbass (countrycanid) its 7.62x 39mm

[countrycanid]

Haha doh. Bad fingers. Nice catch jackass. :D

[Savageruger1022]

I am unfamiller with this rifle, how do you load it, I know it does not use a magazine/ unless it is modified, what caliber is it.

[countrycanid]

It is loaded from the top, with the bolt open. You have to feed the ammunition in by hand. The caliber is 7.62x49mm. If you look just behind my left hand you can see a dark colored metal triangle. It is also visible toward the end of the video. That is where the cartridges are contained, after loading. That piece can be flipped open for speedy unloading to clear a jam, but I've never had to do it because the rifle never jams. :D

[countrycanid]

I fail at typing AND proofreading. Its 7.62x39mm, not 49. Doh.

[maggotpulse45]

also u can remove that and get magazines for them too. we just picked up 2 sks rifles yesterday and went back to the gun show and got some mags for em. they work well if you know how to install them haha

[countrycanid]

Yes, you can modify them to accept magazines as well. I choose not to, as the Yugo rifles are getting harder to find and I'd rather keep mine unmodified. Personal preference.

[volvo4377]

doesn't the scope get in the way when feeding sripper clips?

[countrycanid]

If you look closely at it, the forward end of the scope sits probably 1/2 an inch rearward of the end of the bolt in the open position. It is well clear, and you get used to loading with it on.

[Glitterfaysss]

wow..i stared at a dude fingers and not even half a rifle for 2 and a half mins ( about)..fuckin amazing

[D03T]

love the sound of them!

[Farx]

There's action in this video ?

I thought this was playing in slow motion. ;)
