New SKS

[Amaryl]

I just bought a new unissued Yugo sks at a gun show for $163, including tax. Is that a good deal? Now I have to clean off the cosmoline.

I got one like it last year at a gun show for the same price. Did it come with a blue log book? They are a great weapon, but I would recommend leaving it with the stock 10 round mag. Stripper clips work great and it never fails to feed. Good luck! :D

No, it didn't come with any manual or books. Good thing there's one online. I had to use Birchwood Casey gun scrubber to get the grease off. It worked like a charm, really melted it.

I had another sks that I'm selling, and the 20 round mag makes it jam sometimes. I think I'll stick to 10 rounds, and just reload as quick as lightning with stripper clips B)

I'd say thats a good deal. They love to be shot, so stock up on a lot of ammo :beer:

You can save yourself some money if you like that stuff. Gub Scrubber is almost exactly the same thing as brake parts cleaner. Go to Advance Auto Parts and get a big can of their brand of brakes parts cleaner for $2. I've been using it for years, and it performs, looks, smells, and feels (kinda burns if it gets under a ring or something) exactly the same as the BC Gun Scrubber.

Well put Mr. Wizard. I use brake cleaner all the time. Never had any problems. Use it on metal only!!!! Oil the weapon afterwards and you're good to go. ;)
