Never thought I'd see the day when dime a dozen SKS rifles would become so valued. We never knew how good we had it in the 90s. I, and I'm sure many others, just thought the surplus train was going to run forever. I was just getting into my 20s back then. Being a little older and wiser these days (but not much) I have a different perspective on current and future events and how it could affect us all. Never take anything for granted I guess...
Excellent advice. I am about the same age and I too remember the SKS rifles selling for about $75, The $10 bricks of.22LR, and checking out, but turning down a $250 Polish AKM. I guess the upside of these days is that If I see something I really want, I have the means to afford it.
That Marlin Model 1897… WOW. Beautiful configuration. I hate seeing it drilled but still a piece I’d like to own! I love the 39a too, heirloom 22 for sure. You have lots of cool guns in every episode. That RPD would be badass to own as well. Thanks!
The "pistol", "brace", and "stock" designations are ludicrous. Here in TN we just did away with SBS and SBR designations as well as the $200 "tax". I'm hoping mufflers will soon be included as well. Hearing safety is important as well as courtesy to ones neighbors.
I have the first 2 firearms..man, I was thinking "did I sell guns to Chris and forgot?" Except mine is in .45LC. The Mare' Leg/Ranch Hand made a minor comeback in the short-lived Sci-Fi tv show "Firefly" and its big screen movie "Serenity."
Interesting bunch of firearms. I’ve got a similar factory refurbed ‘51 SKS that i really enjoy. Have a second minty all original Yugo that I only shoot occasionally.
Never made one with long rifle dependability. CZ512 and old HK close. I have owned dozens, love the cartridge. Availability alone enough to discourage in a survival gun.
Do you guys do trades from the website? I scan it a lot and don’t see any mentioning of it I have not used the website to get a quote or sell yet but I have a few firearms I’d like to possibly trade it’s not like I couldn’t sell it then just buy what I wanted from you, if this is how it must be that is ok!
I wouldn’t say completely obsolete; I’d say they were definitely obsolescent by the 1980s when China (which was still mostly using SKS) got its butt kicked by Vietnam again.
Great Video....as usual! I was wondering, are you ever going to do one on the UC-9 Uzi Carbine. Not much on TH-cam about it, so I was just curious. Thanks!
I don’t know if you came out of you bedroom in your skivies with a RPD when there’s a bump in the night that bump will shit themselves if they she that image coming down the hallway!! Lol kidding obviously cool gun!
Great stuff! What I really appreciate is the history that you go into for each firearm.
Please tel me the inox is going on the site

You was not alone.

I didn't know TN had gotten rid of sbr designations.

@@joshuagibson2520 at least someone in Nashville is doing something right...
Finally another W.U.G.R. , thank you ..
Love the history lessons on guns.
Always look forward to seeing your Sunday review.👍👍

Shiny!
That lever gun is definitely something I'd snag up.
Awesome Chanel. 👌
Great episode Chris. The marlin really works for me!
Good to see Arizona participating
Nice SKS ya got there. It'd be too bad if someone bubba'ed it up......
Would kill for that RPD
Inox 92 was the first gun I ever bought.
Great collection this week.
Interesting bunch of firearms. I’ve got a similar factory refurbed ‘51 SKS that i really enjoy. Have a second minty all original Yugo that I only shoot occasionally.
The AR-7 really should have been 22 magnum.

As far as TV shows goes, The Rifleman series used one similar. Cool gun

That Marlin wont be on the shelf to long.
Nice stuff, sks is a beaut. PTR is nice but that RPD came out and my eyes went big,someday,someday"
👌
I would love to have that RPD like yesterday just don't want to pay dear odin prices
Great show as always guys!! I never miss a chance to watch...
I would have gave that kansas viewer 700 for the inox 92 cash. Damn.
Always appreciate the videos Chris. Happy Mothers day to your wife. Y'all take care 🐍🇺🇸
Guy's working for CETME be like: grrrrr.
Thanks Chris, my Russian SKS is very close to shown Sks. Wish had $ to add to my Collection
Like Always nice videos
1939 sks would've been the most advanced rifle on the battlefield. By 1950 it's basically obsolete.
I wouldn’t say completely obsolete; I’d say they were definitely obsolescent by the 1980s when China (which was still mostly using SKS) got its butt kicked by Vietnam again.

G3 pistol....wtf , now Ive seen it all, keep Weekly review coming and we will continue to watch, thanks!
Tell that to John Connors.
AKA THE RIFLEMAN
A.R. 7 = the Charter Arms version is just as good as the Henry for half the price ..
It is not S-ay-monov and it is not Kal-i-shnikov. Is it that hard? Gee!
Douchebag!!!!!!
I don’t know if you came out of you bedroom in your skivies with a RPD when there’s a bump in the night that bump will shit themselves if they she that image coming down the hallway!! Lol kidding obviously cool gun!
