In the early 90's I saw a listing in Tacoma's local free paper, SKS $39.99. Yup, and I was there for work. So didn't get one till a few years down the road and gave $80-$90. It would be the rifle that took my first Buck.
Back in college, I picked up two barely functional 'parts' quality SKSs for $40 each. Traded them into a local municipal gun 'buy back' as assault guns for $200 each and bought myself a nice Garand :)
It wasn't a bad stripper clip... it was your technique. All us Canadian SKS shooters know this trick. When you put your thumb on top of the rounds in the clip to push down, slip your index finger under the bullet of the top round and lift the tip as you push the rounds down into the magazine. This straightens them up and stops them from jamming, letting you get a smooth, fast reload.
here in Italy until a dozen of years ago max magazine capacity for long guns (barrel longer than 30cm or more than 60 overall gun) was 5, then 10 and since a couple of years we can enjoy 30 rounds magazine for black rifles too
Well when you consider the military application of these stripper clips was NOT to use them over and over again. They were considered disposable in combat.
12-15 years ago Soviet milsurp ammo came in 1440 round crates of green cardboard boxes, each with two 10-round clips. After a while, people had lots of extra empty clips kicking around. I forget who made the suggestion, but the basic idea was this: Take an empty clip, pinch the cartridge rim rail on either side just above the 5-round line, then wrap the rest of the stripper clip that's left sticking up with red electrical tape. (or whatever colour you like). With a pouch-type chest rig you could put several of the modified loaded clips into each pouch. The taped up piece gives a "handle" that's quick to grab onto, and since you know it's 5 rounds, you just push it all in with your thumb and pull the stripper clip. As ridiculous as it sounds, this speeds up how fast you can charge 5 rounds into an SKS magazine with stripper clips. There's a bit of method in the madness, but it's no substitute for un-pinned mags.
For easier loading use your index finger and thumb. Index finger lift up on the tip of the cartridge and push down with your thumb on the back of the cartridge. they will zip in in one movement. The idea is to keep the first cartridge as flat as possible so it does not bind in the groves of the stripper clip. This works for SKS AK47 and VZ 58 and others that use a tapered cartridge.
It’s obvious how the bayonets extended improves accuracy and rapidity of fire: it’s the barrel and trigger harmonics of course. Extending the bayonet obviously stabilizes the barrel and clearly shortens the trigger pull. Rather than the trigger pull being 3% of the overall carbine’s length, extending the bayonet reduces this percentage to 1.788%. As you said, it’s just the science. Cheers from another Canadian 5-round SKS fan.
I love my 1954 Tula SKS !! It was refurbed at Tula in the late 80's or early 90's before being imported just before the Clinton ban. The gentleman I bought it from told me it was so full of cosmoline that the magazine was full. He cleaned it up and stuck it in his safe and never fired it. I bought it 4 years ago for $350 and have fired 30 rounds through it.
Also have a 54 Tula Refurb. Love it. Just took it out last weekend. With iron sights I posted a 5 shot 2 7/8"s group at 100yds and a 5 shot 8" group at 200yds. No tack driver, but reliable, and accurate enough.
Clinton didn't ban the SKS I bought mine in a store during that ban. However it does have a conpt welded into the muzzle because threaded barrels were banned
I bought an SKS right before the 2016 election. Like many others, I didn't know how the election was going to go, and I didn't have one. When I first got it, I took it out to shoot it and it slam fired 8-10 rounds. It was an "oh crap" moment, but I figured out real quick what had happened. For fun, I ran 2 more mags through it while the firing pin was hung. Momentarily, I had a full auto SKS. I could make that Canadian jealous with my 20 & 30 round mags. They're "duck bill" mags, and they look odd as heck, but they work like a charm and hold more than the Canadian 4+1 rounds.
You can buy 30 round clips for the SKS in Canada. It comes with a highly technical precision fabricated piece of wood that limits its capacity to 5 rounds. It can be removed in 5 seconds, but would then render the mag illegal.

I'm quite proud of my number matcher SKS. The only thing that isn't original is the bolt cover, but it's within 10,000 of the other numbers on the gun. Shoots like a dream, functions like a Swiss watch and once I pull the original mag out (yes, I'm keeping it dont kill me) she'll be the best hoginator ever!
I just bought one of those Norinco SKS' that take AK mags, and it was unfired! Super clean and prestine. But the question is do I watch this how to SKS or how to AK 😂
People like you are who makes me a ak lover today, love your content and you deserve alot more attention bud! Really jealous of the ak collection you have and hope one day mine will be just as good. Keep up the good work!
It's no problem man I dont mind giving credit where credit is due at all. Also I got to ask what drew you to the ak platform and what was your first ak you ever owned?
I own a Type 56 SKS myself, and I love knowing Canadians trust the SKS just as much if not more than we Americans do. The SKS is without a doubt the finest imported gun for the price, a centerfire .30 cal semi-suto with a 10 round mag capacity with a screw in barrel. A modern reproduction would be so expensive it wouldn't sell.
I'm in Canada and own 2 Russian sks and love them. Had thought about selling one due to having 2. Since watching the prices lately I think I will keep both. Thanks good video on a cool multipurpose firearm. God bless and keep your powder dry. Nuff said
I love the SKS because it's super lightweight and despite being so lightweight and firing the beefy AK cartridge has barely any recoil impulse. One of my favorite platforms to shoot.
@@wademichalski768It's because often there's more wood on the SKS and milled parts, the AKM can and is often lighter, depending on it's furniture and mag choice. Your comment just made you sound like a jack off.
I have a yugo and love it. A loading truck I learned is lift the front of the top bullet and use that to slide the rest in much easier and faster the bullets don’t jam up.
I started with the SKS, have 2 Yugos. One that was bubba'd that I bought super cheap 10 years ago and another one that's original that I have never fired.
If you lift the nose of the top round with your index finger and push on the rear of the round with your thumb actually helps loading instead of jamming the rounds in the stripper clip
I love my yugoslavian SKS. A simple reliable semi automatic rifle. Bayonet deployment does aid functionality. Grenade launcher may be very useful when SHTF.
Hard to find anything below 400 bucks in Canada now! Bought my first SVT for $199, now they are around a grand! First SKS was $149, and they are all going up now! Mine is all umbers matching Russian SKS and I love it!
@@jaredchinchello1760 I would think so Jared since the SKS at its core was the same rifle from Russia to Albania to China. You pull your trigger assembly out, remove the original 10 and reinsert the China 20 and good to go. It just extends down further for the extra capacity, and is made of metal. I warn you up front though, they haven't came into the US in a long time. So they are a bit pricey when you can find them. And it has been 10-15 years since I ran across one at a gun show. Good luck
Hey, some weird, yesterday i had been viewed the sks video, now enter to youtube and bang, sks new vídeo, that is fast, boyy. Great video, especially the ultimate bayonet that increases the accuracity, the speed, the hi point jajajaj, nice, and in the last sks vídeo, i saw that you reload with the left hand at the time that you pull the charging handle with the clip even faster that intead of hold the rifle with the left hand and charge with the right hand.
In Afrika, they think the leaf sight makes the bullets go faster. So they max that shit out when shooting each other. So, who knows where those bullets are going lol.
So I just got my first SKS and damn it was money well spent. Chinese with the blade bayonet. Some trench art that let's me know it was in Kukes Albania back in 93. She shoots beautifully.
I store loaded clips in a ammo box , i use gulfwax ,i rub it in the grooves of the clip, never use oil, oil will contaminate your ammo , create duds. Nice video . And you gotta get good clips ,i got some Vietnam , stamp 31, aftermarket clips suck.
Такое чувство что после того как советские оруженые инженеры получили промежуточный патрон у них появились крылья они начали создавать дешёвые шедевры оружия. А ведь они создовали отличные образы оружия с закраенной на патроне .
I had a SKS in Australia before the 96 laws banned them. It was a great gun, Chinese but super fast, accurate...less recoil than a bolt in .308...ahh I sure miss it...those were the days.
Aussie here too, I wish I could've been born before the 1996 NFA. Our country has absolutely been trashed to shit with all the Eshay gangs and their crime sprees.. It's almost as if criminals ignore laws.
With my Yugo when I load it from underneath like that I can only put in maybe 8 rounds. Takes the full 10 though the top like it's supposed to be loaded. I bet he could get 5 in through the top
I modified my sks, it has a picatinny rail up top and i use the 20 round detachable magazines. On the rail i installed a romeo 7 red dot and its a damn abomination. But i love it.😅 bought it for 100 bucks and put a 200 plus dollar red dot on it. And yes it does hold zero, the rail clips into the dust cover with a retention pin holding it back there and the front of the rail clips into the rear sight leaf housing with a nice little notch cut in between for shell ejection. Shes ugly, but shes my ugly.
Fuck sakes what I'd do for a 200 dollar SKS. Mine was 600 after shipping and taxes from a store, but that came with the cosmoline cleaned off and A quality. The bore is so shiny and clean my bore light burns the eyes in that beauty.
for sure subscribing to the hoser now! thanks bud! i have a chinese SKS with a 16" barrel and beautiful furniture with every number matching... only missing the bayonet:(
I got what appears to be an unused (though they're so so tough and over built, who knows) SKS from the Tula factory in Russia for $200. Came with a laminate stick, that I refinished with Tung oil and is gorgeous....almost. It's a kinda crappy gun, but chrome barrel, and heavy duty enough that it'll last through 2 apocalypses, for $200 Canadian? Why the hell not. Plus it'll be running decades after ARs are all jammed up.
Sadly 5 days after this aired Fidel Castro's son Justine Turdeau announced the OIC ban on many semi automatics, the SKS was one of the very few that survived the ban (for now) and the prices are rising. A clean Russian SKS is fetching over $400 now and the yugo in the grease $800
In NY state, back in the late 80's -early 90's, they were selling brand new SKS 45's, Russian models with the blade bayonet. New and never fired in the box complete with sling, attached bayonet, oil bottle, cleaning jigs that fit in the rear stock, 10 stripper clips and a book on care and feeding of your SKS. All for the lovely price of.....99.95. At that price you couldn't afford NOT to have one. I used to wonder why we were being flooded with cheap priced communist bloc weapons. I had the feeling it was in the hopes we would all kill each other with them. The ammo BTW came from China in sardine cans packed in wooden crates and the price was..... 1100 rds of 7.62X39, 120.00.
Just some advise for stripper clips, pull up on the front of the top bullet with your forefinger and push down on the back with your thumb and they'll slide right in with no problem.
Mutar Fuqueer I hope not we don't need that, We don't need to turn into America and shoot each other for no reason, We've already proved our firearms laws work and Americas doesn't.

My dad bought a huge barrel of sks's for CAD$259.99, for a whole barrel of the rifles! All russian models with bayonets, sold nearly all of them other then one for $98 each, easy profit for shootists and hunters
HAHA i realize this is a bit older video but i just got into the SKS's and , my 1st one was a factory 26 Norinco. Eh it shoots nice but i have not had it long. Meanwhile i just brought home, today in fact, a Tula SKS. Im guessing the Chinese one has a bolt release mod of some kind as I couldnt figure out how to shut the bolt on the Tula ? Hehe popping open the mag to do so is awesome to know. I didnt want to ask at my local shop, where i got the gun and look like an idiot! LOL Great video brother!!!
Lucky you , I must have gotten the only YUGO SKS with night sights and grenade launcher that has sights so canted that I can’t zero it. This thing was UN FIRED and caked in Cosmoline when I got it so there’s no excuse. Not to mention a worse trigger than the one in my Hi-Point 380 pistol LOL. 😊
Like a dummy, I sold my Yugo M59 back in the day when they were $150, thinking that I would get another one some day and that they would NEVER go up in price THAT much, right? Stupid me, lol. I miss that rifle.
Did a mcarbo spring kit on my norinco. Wow its night and day. I think it was like $12 for 2 springs. I think one was 3.5lbs and other 4.5lbs. I went with the lightest. It's the ultimate brush gun.
I have both a Chinese and a Russian SKS that I fire regularly. With the bayonet deployed it adds a bit of counter balance to the front of the gun and reduces my recoil, and I get better accuracy at 100 meters. The other shooters with their fancy, expen$ive rifles and scopes wonder why I shoot the SKS. I tell them it's more realistic to shoot over open sights, and if I get pi$$ed off I can charge the target and stab it. They leave me alone after that...
Not to be to Canadian here but u gotta lift the bullet tip lightly while pushing the bottom of the cartridge and the stripper clip loads smoothly without bunching up and stopping
Ten round capacity in Canada is easily achieved by duct taping an additional SKS to your SKS. Thank god for loopholes.
Big Brain 🧠
And since we never had a Clinton in charge Chinese SKSs are cheap and plentiful.
@revilo178 nope. On any gun that uses a center-fire cartridge the limit is 5. Pistols however have a limit of 10

That tip of using the clip as a bolt lever sounds like a quick way to destroy all your clips.
That was my thought as soon as I saw him doing that. I’m sure they’re not very expensive but personally I’d try to keep them in decent condition.
Oddly enough, it doesn't. Or at least, I haven't seen it do so to date. They seem to be tempered properly to be used in that way.

that was a one time anecdote from the rhodesian wars. not ever recorded past the 70’s
Lol wow
Syriens think ARs have a sniper mode which makes the Buckley hit harder
That's a beauty of an SKS!
That is a clean yugo. Very nice.
So I just got my first SKS and damn it was money well spent. Chinese with the blade bayonet. Some trench art that let's me know it was in Kukes Albania back in 93. She shoots beautifully.
I love sks rifles i grew up with them back when you could get norinco for 75 to 80 buck new in the boxs.
The 59/66 is the best SKS. A unique arm.
5:02 sounds so much like Doom 2's super shotgun but meatier.
I store loaded clips in a ammo box , i use gulfwax ,i rub it in the grooves of the clip, never use oil, oil will contaminate your ammo , create duds. Nice video . And you gotta get good clips ,i got some Vietnam , stamp 31, aftermarket clips suck.
What a significant difference in American vs Canadian SKS quality and functionality
Good video. I don’t know beans about an sks till now. Thanks 👍🏻
Такое чувство что после того как советские оруженые инженеры получили промежуточный патрон у них появились крылья они начали создавать дешёвые шедевры оружия. А ведь они создовали отличные образы оружия с закраенной на патроне .
They need to add that clip in Tarkov
Just got mine today thanks for the pointers 💯👍🏽🙏🏽❤️🙌🏾😁
I had a SKS in Australia before the 96 laws banned them. It was a great gun, Chinese but super fast, accurate...less recoil than a bolt in .308...ahh I sure miss it...those were the days.
Half the casing of a .308, the 7.62x39 shouldn't be compared to the 308.
Aussie here too, I wish I could've been born before the 1996 NFA. Our country has absolutely been trashed to shit with all the Eshay gangs and their crime sprees.. It's almost as if criminals ignore laws.
I love that chromed SKS!
I think I read somewhere that tens of thousands of SKS rifles are about to fall out of boats in Canada.
The best semiautomatic rifle SKS !
Back in Yugoslavia we would call it "Papovka".
That stainless one looks nice. Love the sks
With my Yugo when I load it from underneath like that I can only put in maybe 8 rounds.
Takes the full 10 though the top like it's supposed to be loaded.
I bet he could get 5 in through the top
Picked mine up in the early 90,s for $99 with 250 rnds of ammo.
I modified my sks, it has a picatinny rail up top and i use the 20 round detachable magazines. On the rail i installed a romeo 7 red dot and its a damn abomination. But i love it.😅 bought it for 100 bucks and put a 200 plus dollar red dot on it. And yes it does hold zero, the rail clips into the dust cover with a retention pin holding it back there and the front of the rail clips into the rear sight leaf housing with a nice little notch cut in between for shell ejection. Shes ugly, but shes my ugly.
Fuck sakes what I'd do for a 200 dollar SKS. Mine was 600 after shipping and taxes from a store, but that came with the cosmoline cleaned off and A quality. The bore is so shiny and clean my bore light burns the eyes in that beauty.
for sure subscribing to the hoser now! thanks bud! i have a chinese SKS with a 16" barrel and beautiful furniture with every number matching... only missing the bayonet:(
He's a rad mad dad chad.
I got what appears to be an unused (though they're so so tough and over built, who knows) SKS from the Tula factory in Russia for $200. Came with a laminate stick, that I refinished with Tung oil and is gorgeous....almost.
It's a kinda crappy gun, but chrome barrel, and heavy duty enough that it'll last through 2 apocalypses, for $200 Canadian? Why the hell not. Plus it'll be running decades after ARs are all jammed up.
Def my SHTF #1 choice even if the pin falls out.
Got three of these best guns ever made. 3 4 hundred rounds non stop never jammed. Long range shooting still say these are best all around ar
I own several firearms and the sks is the first one im reaching for in the zombi apocalypse
Sadly 5 days after this aired Fidel Castro's son Justine Turdeau announced the OIC ban on many semi automatics, the SKS was one of the very few that survived the ban (for now) and the prices are rising. A clean Russian SKS is fetching over $400 now and the yugo in the grease $800
In NY state, back in the late 80's -early 90's, they were selling brand new SKS 45's, Russian models with the blade bayonet. New and never fired in the box complete with sling, attached bayonet, oil bottle, cleaning jigs that fit in the rear stock, 10 stripper clips and a book on care and feeding of your SKS. All for the lovely price of.....99.95. At that price you couldn't afford NOT to have one. I used to wonder why we were being flooded with cheap priced communist bloc weapons. I had the feeling it was in the hopes we would all kill each other with them. The ammo BTW came from China in sardine cans packed in wooden crates and the price was..... 1100 rds of 7.62X39, 120.00.
2:38 No it's fluorescent. Try shining flashlight into it than be in very dark room, see if they glow.
You can use the bayonet for a monopod when prone
BAHAHAHA!!!!
The plastic drum is a necessary combat accessory to lay your rounds out on....Carrying it around is the challenge.
Just some advise for stripper clips, pull up on the front of the top bullet with your forefinger and push down on the back with your thumb and they'll slide right in with no problem.
Gorgeous rifle, bud, looks freshly issued.
I'm in Canada and my SKS is LEGAL 10 rounds ... it's Kodiak Defence Scorpio SKS
Hopefully once you guys get rid of Canadian Al Jolson, you can get the equivalent of the US' 2nd amendment added to your constitution.
Mutar Fuqueer I hope not we don't need that, We don't need to turn into America and shoot each other for no reason, We've already proved our firearms laws work and Americas doesn't.
Something people should be aware of the possibility of a slam fire this platform has the possibility and history of that happening great firearm fantastic history built like a tank
My Russian version has a spring loaded firing pin, eliminates the slam fire.
Or you could just, now hear me out on this one........... *thoroughly clean your rifle*
I feel bad for anyone I annoyed with this gun in battlefield but it’s was so much fun!! Can’t wait to get one in real life
The yugo AKs are pretty spot on i bet that SKS is too!
Hey my bros love your video, as always we may have our difference's but, history shows we will always have your back. Cant wait for another video, how about a AR-15 video comparison - er before we have to turn all ours in ??
Great video man !
My dad bought a huge barrel of sks's for CAD$259.99, for a whole barrel of the rifles! All russian models with bayonets, sold nearly all of them other then one for $98 each, easy profit for shootists and hunters
Lift tip of top round with index finger and push down with your thumb. Much smoother. 😁
HAHA i realize this is a bit older video but i just got into the SKS's and , my 1st one was a factory 26 Norinco. Eh it shoots nice but i have not had it long. Meanwhile i just brought home, today in fact, a Tula SKS. Im guessing the Chinese one has a bolt release mod of some kind as I couldnt figure out how to shut the bolt on the Tula ? Hehe popping open the mag to do so is awesome to know. I didnt want to ask at my local shop, where i got the gun and look like an idiot! LOL Great video brother!!!
Thanks, you have a nice day as well!
Lucky you , I must have gotten the only YUGO SKS with night sights and grenade launcher that has sights so canted that I can’t zero it. This thing was UN FIRED and caked in Cosmoline when I got it so there’s no excuse. Not to mention a worse trigger than the one in my Hi-Point 380 pistol LOL. 😊
I lost my boat in a firearm accident.
Like a dummy, I sold my Yugo M59 back in the day when they were $150, thinking that I would get another one some day and that they would NEVER go up in price THAT much, right?
Stupid me, lol. I miss that rifle.
Old but gold :)
Did a mcarbo spring kit on my norinco. Wow its night and day. I think it was like $12 for 2 springs. I think one was 3.5lbs and other 4.5lbs. I went with the lightest. It's the ultimate brush gun.
I love this sks, I have this with since long time
I have a paratrooper model and did remove the bayenet. But did keep all of the parts in a box
I have both a Chinese and a Russian SKS that I fire regularly. With the bayonet deployed it adds a bit of counter balance to the front of the gun and reduces my recoil, and I get better accuracy at 100 meters. The other shooters with their fancy, expen$ive rifles and scopes wonder why I shoot the SKS. I tell them it's more realistic to shoot over open sights, and if I get pi$$ed off I can charge the target and stab it.
They leave me alone after that...
Not to be to Canadian here but u gotta lift the bullet tip lightly while pushing the bottom of the cartridge and the stripper clip loads smoothly without bunching up and stopping
Absolutely love the Yugo sks
