Go to www.sksboards.com - they have a very active board that is geared towards the SKS mainly with other firearms filling in the fluff. Very good board for SKS information.

SKS's rock. Here's my two Russians, both 1953. One is refurb, the other is not. Both have all the original goodies, but I swap out stocks etc just for fun.

Someone should open a vote thread for an SKS forum. I know I'd vote for one. PGH~

Personally, I wish all MilSurp rifles were in this forum. Too much other stuff to go through to get what I'm looking for.

I love this forum because I can get info on most of the cool MilSurp guns. Is the Kalishnakov considered MilSurp? I would think so.

I also think it would be. It was completed in '47 and adopted by the Russian Military in '49 if I remember correctly. I think any weapon military weapon made/used in the military befor 1960 should be considered a milsurplus. Just my .02.

No the AK is not considered military surplus.....

That would make the AR15 military surplus as well....delivered for testing in 1958....first rifles when into service in 1962 so thats a few years over your 1960 mark but they were made before 1960.

Well then lets say any military weapon befor '58. The AR-15/M16 is in no way military surplus.

If Big 5 started selling AR-15s for $79, I'd buy them even if they're not really "military surplus". :)

The SKS is lumped in with the AK on the Kalashnikov Club since it's similar.
