YesForgot about that. What was the ammo they had for half off anyway? Creedmoor?
Not very scientific but i shoot better scores with my 308 garand than my 06 both with new Criterion barrels , fitted wood, trigger job and the best fitting parts I had on hand. 168 gn bullets Varget PowderDon't forget to save your once-fired brass for reloading. Or get them over to someone who does! By the way, can anyone comment on accuracy of .308 Garand vs 30-06? Consensus is that the .308 has less recoil, but I'm interested to see if accuracy is better too . . . .
I can hit the 6” black of a sr at 100 yards most days with sks and half decent ammo like the yogo surplus brass cased stuff, norma is good also. Most steel cased fodder is good until it aint....Yeah, these aren't Match guns, but are fine for what they were intended to do. Kill.

YouTube Video dated June 17, 2021 (less than a month ago) showing Atlantic Firearms sorting, inspecting and getting ChiCom SKS's (Type 56) ready for sale...
From what I've read, these are ChiComs that were sent over to Eastern Europe as aid...Loved to see the import stamps, are they the older style or the newer billboard style.
Would not surprise me if these are old inventory they decided to move out?

This isn’t quite what you’re asking, but I traded into a sino-Soviet about 11 months ago in exchange for a run-of-the-mill Smith & Wesson model 36, blued. The SKS has a graffiti’d stock, but it‘s original.What's the going rate for an sks these days? So far out of the loop, I haven't bothered to buy anything or even window shop in years now.
$400 to $600 for Chicom Type 56 (very clean Norincos seem to be getting the most, and certain rare arsenals/factories) , More to MUCH more for Russian etc.What's the going rate for an sks these days? So far out of the loop, I haven't bothered to buy anything or even window shop in years now.
