- So we are taking a break from how to AK videos and dropping a how to SKS video for you today. Not only that but I've got a little help from my friends North of the border.
Thanks to @hosergunguy on Instagram for the help! Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - บันเทิง
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
And all that's stopping you from possessing that beautiful, beautiful 10rd capacity, is a little pin
@revilo178
Nope. Everything in semi auto rifle.
I miss my sks..... It fell out of the canoe.
Under water is not a great place to hide it.

"At one time these things were two to three hundred bucks..." son at one time these SKS's were $79.99 and came with 500 rds. of ammo.
🤣😂🤣 I was thinking the same thing when he said they use to sell for $200-300. I remember when you could buy them for $80.00 all day long!
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 :)
@@___meph___4547 They were already unusable, as firearms, that is why they were in the 'parts only' bin at this gun show.
Back then 79.99, now 600 🤦♂️
I miss my SKS, had to sell it because of bills. It was an SKS-D, I miss it all the time.
Those are more rarer
Those are the ones that take ak mags?
@@bryananderson3772 Yup.
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.
Awesome hack! Thanks for sharing.
Same for the Mosin m.th-cam.com/video/tLoo6bA1eAU/w-d-xo.html
Was about to comment that. Much easier and faster.
I am an idahoan and I figured that out a couple years back. It is a time saver
3 clips later it works for the fixed 30 rd mags also!
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
Lol imagine gaining rights
Soumds like italy went in the correct direction
Mamamia!!
Thats amazing to hear
published 5 days before the vz 58 was banned in Canada.

Type 81 LMG and regular one still legal but hard to get, apparently it’s more accurate then an AKM, FAMAE is legal too. Canada and our dumb laws...
@@DYLANJJK94 Is true, is more difficult to serch one Type 81, basically was a law ban AK 47 and legally VZ58...
Canadian slaves.
The stock on your SKS is mint , she’s a beauty, thanks for including your Canadian neighbours 👍✌️🇨🇦
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.
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.
That method works very well for my Mosin Nagant and my dad's SKS
Stripper Clips and a Vietnam chest rigs, do it right.
Just got an SKS 1 week ago. I live in Canada. I refinished the stock because the factory finish was rough.
Chinese? I refinished mine too. It felt like a 2x4.
Woods Lore I've refinished the stocks to Russian ones
Trade you .

Are you shooting in public? if not why would you care?
@@KevinSmith-kg2nk why not limit to two rounds ? Iff your not in public why would u care 😂
@Syphax Atlas haha sorry wouldn’t want that for you guys but it wouldn’t affect me as no legal guns at all in Great Britain , plenty of illegal tho
@Syphax Atlas exactly and I’m a criminal and I respect the law ... 😶
Lol it can hold 5 round but in canada youre only legally allowed to have 3 in it for hunting purposes which is what i use mine for sometimes. I dont get a lot with it though
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
Government:Give me your 30 round magazine.
Me:Let me give you whats in it first.
ATF: "Haha bomb go boom"
Yeah thats never worked out very well, look up the ruby ridge incident
Acute lead poisoning.

@@cappuccinosnephew1382 i think both scenarios show the feds clearly breaking rules and going forth with their own agenda. You definitely cant trust the government when they pull stunts like this
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 😂
How to AK, it's essentially an AK (or VZ58) at that point.
would you be interested in selling it.
"How to dumpster fire" 🤣
Get both.
@@KevinSmith-kg2nk I have both, you missed the point of my question.
Awesome video man as always love hosergunguy great combo the sks is and always will be one of my favorite rifles
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 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.
5+1 yessiree. Canuk Hi-Cap ;-)
Magazine limits in Canada are no different than speed limits in Canada.
Mick Boon If you say so
*speed recommendations
@@jimbod2672 a
@@newman793 no french canadian ever follows the speed limit so I doubt they follow any other important laws
160km/hr is norm in Toronto? Stop lying.
Love the "Timecop 1993 -on the run" at the end of the video.
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.
Correct
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.
You have a pristine SKS. I wish mine was in that kind of shape when I I got it. Great video Buddy.
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!
Wow! I really appreciate those kind words my man that means a lot.
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?
@@TheBlock413 he doesn't reveal secrets
I Love my Sks-D. have a decent vortex scope mounted n managed to get it grouping at just over an inch at 100 yards. one of my favorite shooters.
Good video. I don’t know beans about an sks till now. Thanks 👍🏻
When loading with stripper clips, lift the tip of the top bullet and use it to lever the rims down. Much easier to load that way.
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.
Wow I should’ve bought crates of SKS’s back in the 90’s. Bought mine for $69.95
Well anything in the 90s has Been inflated
Gotta love them Hoser’s
I remember when an SKS could be had for less than 200.
First rifle I ever purchased at 18 years old for $100, crap oil all over it, 26 years later I still have it!
I bought my first SKS for $100 in 1993.
$59 US Cheaper n Dirt,
Still have the Russian SKS I bought at 18.... That was over two decades ago. Still rockin it.
Great video man !
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.
Just got mine today thanks for the pointers 💯👍🏽🙏🏽❤️🙌🏾😁
Thanks, you have a nice day as well!
"How to AK: The Art of Slav Squatting" sounds like a good video to me!
They need to add that clip in Tarkov
That stainless one looks nice. Love the sks
That's a beauty of an SKS!
I love my yugoslavian SKS. A simple reliable semi automatic rifle. Bayonet deployment does aid functionality. Grenade launcher may be very useful when SHTF.
I love my SKS, its heaps of fun, cheap to buy, cheap to feed, and good enough for deer.
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.
The sks is a true SHTF situation toy.
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 this sks, I have this with since long time
I love that chromed SKS!
Back in Yugoslavia we would call it "Papovka".
Gorgeous rifle, bud, looks freshly issued.
I lost my boat in a firearm accident.
Absolutely love the Yugo sks
Old but gold :)
5:02 sounds so much like Doom 2's super shotgun but meatier.
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
Since Canadian Tire stopped selling them they're going up up up
@Nidal Hasan Damn, I had five and sold two...d'oh!
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 ??
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.
I dont think its lightweight at all. I think a fully loaded AK is lighter
@@DaDaDo661 hit the gym lol
@@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.
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
Bought a Chinese sks in 92 at the Detroit gun and knife show, with conversion mag, for $99.00

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.
Love it!
"Let's send it up Hoser Gun Guy in Canada ..." Tarps off. Hahahaha !
I love sks rifles i grew up with them back when you could get norinco for 75 to 80 buck new in the boxs.
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.
The 59/66 is the best SKS. A unique arm.
The plastic drum is a necessary combat accessory to lay your rounds out on....Carrying it around is the challenge.
I have a paratrooper model and did remove the bayenet. But did keep all of the parts in a box
The sks is a pretty capable platform once you do a trigger job and a 20 round tapco mag.
NYET! RIFLE IS FINE!
Little Simonov cries every time you do that to your rifle
Only mag swap I would ever consider is one of the rare Chinese fixed 20 round mags option. Tapco is shit
@@mot0rhe4d40 Are those compatible with any fixed mag SKS or just the Norinco?
@@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
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
One of the most reliable and accurate guns on earth. AK only has an advantage if it’s auto.
MCARBO makes trigger springs to really help that trigger out.
Read your comment. Ordered the kit.
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!
$1000 for an SVT???? You should get a new arms dealer.
@@KevinSmith-kg2nk Find one cheaper than $1300 in US!
The yugo AKs are pretty spot on i bet that SKS is too!
Great video as always, can you give any buying tips, I remember when they couldn’t give them away for $75. I’m looking for something that will go up in value I think matching serial numbers is a start and I’ve also heard Yugoslavian variant is most sought.
You should do a buyers guide from a wall hanger, to mid of the road collector.
Honestly they are getting so expensive these days if you can find one for $400 I would buy it
Nice! Love my ‘53 Tula
i use 20 round tapco mags that dont jam at all. tapco stock. and a tapco picatinny grip on the tapco picatinny rails it provides for the rifle. it works great i love the us!
What a significant difference in American vs Canadian SKS quality and functionality
Aye, a Yugo is what I got! Had a really fun thing where it would slam fire like 3 or 5 rounds randomly for a while
Cosmoline in bolt binding firing pin...
you should check out the Fab Defense SKS stocks for modding.
You forgot to mention AK mode when the firing pin jams lol
Lift tip of top round with index finger and push down with your thumb. Much smoother. 😁
That buzsaw camo hell yeah
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 .
Loved the u showd it. Cj out ...............
Once you get the barrel harmonics down and find a load that likes the 1:9.25 twist rate with Miller's twist rule they become decently accurate. I have taken them out to 500yds on f class targets
Oh yeah. Lazer beams
@@KLAYCO47 3moa at 500yds is 15". 3 moa is achievable with a stock sks. F class targets are 16" @ 500yds. Most your deer size game has a 15 inch torso. If you do your part it will shoot. It's no sub MOA but it's not just a hundred yard rifle either. I dial in 18moa (or hold over 18moa. My math actually puts it at 17.8moa) from my 100yd zero and ill find my 500yd target. Just because it's only a hundred yard rifle in your hands doesn't mean it's a hundred yard rifle in mine. The SKS is actually deadly at long distances over the AK in the hands of the pershmerga and the Kurds. Russian military used to classify the x39 as effective to 600 yards. Most Military Surplus Ammo doesn't begin transonic flight until 525 yards and can hold a 3moa group. Extreme run out is the cause of most my flyers when doing load development... I have found upwards of .030 run out variances in same surplus lots.. .001-.003 is acceptable).
I've also found the optimum bullet RPM tends to be around 150000 RPMs (2.0sg per miller rule) so with a 9.25 twist that's usually around 1800 feet per second (this alone vastly improves Barrel harmonics depending on Powder choice over the typical 2400fps loads) This is how I can make a 1-inch shooting SKS but it begins transonic flight by 300 yards if I go that route. Honestly I feel too much people get wrapped up in those sub MOA crap and this causes them to overlook other accurate rifles. Most people I talk to about it can't even shoot a 1-inch group but they do love to talk about it like anything less is just "incapable" but the SKS has been kicking ass in warzones all over the world for the last 60yrs.
@@KLAYCO47 I guess you could say I've been shooting and hand loading for 2/3rds of my life now with a 1000yd range in my backyard. I'd love a response, but I understand it can get busy. I did enjoy the video though LOL
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
Really good Gun
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
Publish more videos Bro. I like your videos
Heck ya bud
Try pulling the top round on the stripper clip upward with your index finger while pushing down with your thumb. You should be able to slide the rounds smoothly.
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.
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
This guy predicted the AR 15 ban
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.
I own several firearms and the sks is the first one im reaching for in the zombi apocalypse
I heard that with a drill you can make the canadian sks a 10 rounder in about 2 minutes, it would be illegal though so we can't be doing that
