Indeed---I gotta admit my phone's camera did a good job capturing it .

I finally found some cheep S&W 500 ammo, they said I was crazy and such ammo didn't exist but I did and it was only $39.00 and not $60.00 like last time...I can shoot my 500 guilt free now Crazy Laugh.

Sweet

Indeed also here's another 500 video I just made I shoot those "guilt free" rounds and give my two cents on the this big beast.

S&W 500 Part 2.

They're cool but $39 a box is high. You can shoot 9mm for $14 per 50 all day.

I've even found them cheaper online for $26.00 a box. Still even if it's $26.00 or $39.00 for a box of 20 rounds that still beats paying $60.00 for the same round.

Completely understand. It's much better.

Khajiit is seriously considering getting a 9mm, partially for this reason!

Does anyone here have any experience with, or knowledge about, an SKS?

A video on Perfect Pairs from Iraqveteran8888


They talk about being able to use the same mags in a rifle and in a handgun. Now, this is of no concern to me since I can't get a modern handgun so my Perfect Pair would consist of a 12 gauge BP shotgun and my 1858

I guess an excellent pair would be a Glock .45ACP or 9MM and the Kriss Vector since both can not only use the same ammo BUT can use the same magazine.

Shot my Dad's S&W MP Shield .45ACP and I sucked at shooting it,YET I can shoot a Flip camcorder and a I gallon jug of water with my 500 and blow the poop out of them. Well I'm defiantly a revolver user that's for sure .

What do you need to know? I've had 3.

Finally! Yes, Khajiit has been doing some research thinking that (if he can find one) this would be a good compromise between a full semiauto hunting rifle and an AR. This one doesn't need an AR, but he thinks it might be good to have a gun that could do the job of a hunting rifle and still be fun to shoot at a range. So, this one's question is: what do you think about these rifles? Seeing as how you said you've had three, Khajiit is going to guess you view them favorably.

They're rugged, simple, and powerful enough to hunt medium game (white tail deer for example) with. They're about on par with the 30-30 Winchester in terms of power.

The ones with a 10 round fixed magazine will be the most reliable. Aftermarket detachable mags can be hit or miss because the gun wasn't really made to take them. Of the detachable mags though the 20 round Tapco mags are the best in my experience.

Make sure it stays clean if you get an SKS. The firing pin is free floating so if it isn't clean it can be potentially dangerous. Never hand cycle live ammo through a firearm without a spring loaded firing pin. Basically keep it clean and always aim in a safe direction when chambering a round. I've never had an issue with the SKS and think that the price they demand is very reasonable.

Which country of origin are you looking at? I think the Norinco version offers the lowest price and works just as well as the varioud other countries. If cost is no obstacle, go Russian because they are typically a little more aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, read about the dreaded "slam fire". Sounds terrifying, lol

Not sure about the country of origin, really this one will be surprised if he can find an SKS in his little podunk town. He will keep your advice in mind though. Also, wasn't planning on getting any expanded mags but it's good to know there is a decent option if Khajiit desired at some point.

Slam fire is something they apparently did with the old percussion revolvers. Not good for the revolver but hey, faster rate of fire. If the gun didn't jam...


Also I'm too lazy to look up what an SKS is. I know Hickok talked about them but I can't remember.

Soviet battle rifle developed towards the end of WWII. Semi automatic gas powered rifle specifically developed to fire the new (for the time) 7.62x39 round, which was itself developed due to studies on the average ranges of engagements in most combat situations, and to combat the German use of a similar round.
Here's a pic

Ah, yes. Now I remember. Thanks

New rifle: 17 HMR Savage.
Sold my PS4 Pro for it I'll probably shoot it after lunch.
