The M1 works for high-power competition and is fun, the SKS is also a fun rifle to have.<br /><br />Both are pretty addictive and lead you to buying more SKSs and M1s.<br /><br />AaronAaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146728790019377401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-12821693420538649972010-03-23T08:41:29.450-05:002010-03-23T08:41:29.450-05:00Hmm...I've been looking at getting a military ...Hmm...I've been looking at getting a military rifle for some time.

I now own numerous military rifles, the only one I have two of is - SKS.<br /><br />Accurate (for what it is), reliable, simple and relatively cheap to shoot. My only snivel is that they are dirty rifles, residue gets everywhere. Still, a blast.Capt. Schmoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394460305247627610noreply@blogger.com
