I feel like someone here is going to get snipped, if it was a SKS, it was caboose, if it was a 308, then it was Milk.

The SKS has a top ejection port like a thousand other rifles. How it ejects is up to the extractor. Don't you think a modified sniper variant would also have this modified to have a horizontal ejection much like the M21 variant?

Example.

As for the ballistics of a 7.62x39 vs 30.30 I suggest you pick up a ballistics book or a reloading book. You are WAY off base. First off a 30.30 can go up to 170gr. I used to load mine out at 150gr when hunting Florida white tail. Second according to my books there is only about 100lbf difference between a 7.62x39 and 30.30 at 450 yards with a 150gr load out on the 30.30. If I did 110gr the 7.62x39 come out on top. Anyway thats a MINOR difference when talking ballistics. Even still thats way beyond 300 meters you originally claimed.

Now to your accuracy claim. Thats depends on a million issues that you seem to assume on. Is it a stock barrel? Is the trigger pull stock? etc. You are assuming its just some SKS found in a ditch during the Tet offensive with a Leupold taped on top. What I find funny is you saying knock down power is "irrelevant" and its all about accuracy. Well I hate to break it to you but its a balance. The SKS would not be an ideal LONG RANGE sniper rifle no. But in an urban setting it wouldn't be bad at all. If it was all about shot placement and not stopping power everyone would be using a .220 swift.

Pack a better lunch next time you come at TheMailMan when talking guns.



Pfft. I can do 540 yards open sights on a .308. Not that big a deal. 700+ then Ill be impressed.
How it ejects is actually dependent on the entire bolt assembly.. the extractor just makes it eject

Put in my pre-order earlier today before the offer for a free game came out, so I went on Origin chat, and they added the game of my choice to my account. Took a while to wait in line, but they were happy to do it!

who cares about the SKS, you can turn any weapon into anything

i mean for christs sake i just watched a group of guys turn an AK74 into a 1000 yard sniper rifle and it passed all military tests, if the weapon is customized any weapon can become something its originally not.

The receiver cover is removable. It is held in by one pin. You and I both know mounting to that is a bad idea. Mounting to the receiver is fine, the cover is not. Every time that cover gets removed you have to rezero.

The extractor position cannot be changed from where it is due to Op rod sitting above the bolt. I can take picture tomorrow of my SKS to show you what I mean.

I have many ballistics books. Yes, the 30-30 can go up to a certain weight, but I was trying to compare similar weights in the rounds. Typically x39 when in milsurp is 120-130gr. Weight of the bullet makes a significant difference at longer ranges. Also, if x39 drops VERY fast. 30-30 does as well, but is much flatter. Both rounds are not effective past 300 yards, reason being insane drop, and obviously we have to take into account the weight of the max load of the x39, which is low, which means windage would be a bitch to deal with, cold bore. 30-30 has a higher (not by much) max weight, so it won't be effected as much.

I assumed stock barrel, trigger, yes. The barrel of the SKS is welded to the receiver so modification is much tougher than one screwed on. Trigger is very easy to mess with, as the group is all in one chunk, I'll take a picture tomorrow if someone reminds me. Knock down power is not irrelevant, I agree, but I believe we are talking about shot placement, which comes down to accuracy, which the SKS is not after a certain yardage. Too many variables to take into account. There is a reason why x39 has been shelved, and 5.45x39 is the current replacement. Flat trajectory is important, and the x39 does not provide that.

.308 is a totally different animal. You have a slightly heavier bullet, with much more powder. It performs fine at distances in excess of 500 yards, where at that point it starts to drop. Open sights, man size is a good bet (never tried myself), but in what position, action of rifle? The longest shot I have ever taken was with a .243 (bolt gun) on irons at roughly 250 yards. The flat trajectory makes it relatively easy to adjust, although windage is a pain when shooting 100gr. Did not make it on the first shot, even after consulting the good (ballistics) book. Can you hit consistently, cold bore with a .308 at 500 yards? Probably so. With x39? Probably not.

Just a small point, when being a marksman it is not about how much lead you put into the air but consistent shot placement, and with a rifle designed to be an all around battle rifle, the SKS does not really have the ability to be consistent at shot placement.

I enjoy talking to you about these subjects Mailman, and I know everyone has different opinions on guns from their wide variety of experiences, so let's try to keep this a back and forth and not a flame war. Also, I can't help but feel my troll senses tingling on some of what you say above.

Ah yes, the .308, my favorite round to shoot out of a rifle. Fell in love after handling my friend's HK91. As for handguns...must go with my friend's grandfather's Colt M1911. The .45 will make her holla!

The extractor position shouldnt need to be changed. Adjusting the spring (tension) is enough to adjust the ejection angle. I don't own an SKS but thats how it is on most weapons.

I call bullshit on major drop at 300 yards. 500 yards is max effective range. Which is just fine for an urban combat senerio.

Just because something is replaced doesnt mean what its being replaced with is a better round. Not saying this is the case with the x39 but just because something is being shelved doesnt mean its bad. The .45 is a prime example. The shelved the 1911 for the "Superior" M9. Well guess what most SF are going back to? M1911.

Anytime you want to clean the rifle you have to take off the cover. I remove it after every time shooting to clean it. There is a reason the rear sights are not located on that cover.

The drop happens even at 200 yards. At that range it drops about a foot. When at 300 yards that is magnified to around 3 feet. Try hitting consistently at that range with x39, not going to be an easy task.

The x39 was shelved for a better round, pure and simple. 5.45 AK pattern rifles are more reliable under adverse conditions. 5.45 is flatter, more accurate, and has less recoil. This is open to discussion however.

Regarding the M9 vs the M1911: Modern loadings on both rounds make them very similar to each other, to the point where they both kill well. I think the M9 gets a ton of crap because of the magazine problems early on in US adoption of the weapon. We also adopted 9mm to standardize with the current NATO handgun load. If you look at the 1970s pistol trials conducted by the Army, you will see that the M9 comes out on top for what they are looking for in a handgun. The M1911 was shelved because of not meeting the requirements of the military at the time. Nobody is arguing it is a bad handgun or caliber, but the M9 fulfills a wider variety of roles than the M1911, which is why it is currently the pick.

Cleaning a rifle takes a full break down period! Dirt and carbon will ruin a good rifle *EVEN A AK47*. I clean my AK about once a month and keep it oiled and wrapped in my gun case. Another point of the rifle people forget is the magazines! They need took apart and cleaned as well. Keeping a magazine loaded 24/7 will wear the spring out very quickly.

Determining bullet drop and FPS will go back to what ammunition you use. Things like Boat Tail, Grain amount, and type of lead/powder used will help in long range marksmanship. Match grade ammo is a term tended to be used with long range shooting. It matches the specs I mentioned above to type of rifle, distance, and surroundings. These can be customized by loading your own rounds to desired specs.

The M9 was adopted for political reasons. Not because it was a better round or weapon (M9). I've shot IDPA for years and have seen both in action. I don't care WHAT load you put a 9mm in its not even in the same ballpark as the ACP .45. Its a physical impossibility. I have seen 9mm have less then 1" penetration on bone and 2" in gel. .45 has FAR more consistent energy dispersal. Damn I wish you lived closer. We could hit the range. Hell I would even pick up some dies and load you out some wildcats for the piece of shit SKS you got.

Bullet drop is not set in stone occurrence. Its determined on set perimeters like temp, wind, ammunition, twist, exc

Use this calculator, it will help

The M9 was adopted for political reasons. Not because it was a better round or weapon (M9). I've shot IDPA for years and have seen both in action. I don't care WHAT load you put a 9mm in its not even in the same ballpark as the ACP .45. Its a physical impossibility. I have seen 9mm have less then 1" penetration on bone and 2" in gel. .45 has FAR more consistent energy dispersal. Damn I wish you lived closer. We could hit the range. Hell I would even pick up some dies and load you out some wildcats for the piece of shit SKS you got.



They use a design for thier stocks my grandfather invented years ago. McMillan has the best stocks in the world IMO.

Thats loosely the concept. I dont think his had the lip on the front.

I have a Mosin Nagant that i have NEVER cleaned as i Dont Know how. ^_^ it's range is epic and accurate to a T if you have it zeroed that is. And i don't know how to use those sites either. The manual is in Russian.

Here is the specs on the rounds: 7.62x54r 185.8 grain

Please watch for barrel pitting with a florescent plastic hook and a flash light. This will ruin your rifling in the barrel making it dangerous to shoot. Otis makes good cleaning kits for 7.62!

Also do you have the HEX receiver or the round? HEX is the more rarer one.

Not sure, been a bit since I looked at it. Ive fired it twice in the almost 2 yrs i ve owned it.

1891/30

I think it is a Tula model from the receiver markings and if i remember right, i think it is a HEX.

Cause they last forever and are generally reliable and dirt cheap to boot
