How in the world did you find a Norinco SKS for $150?!?
Yugos around here are $200, and they are a "dime a dozen"!

I was caling around to the local shops just price checking because I wanted to get one by the end of the month when I thoght I would have money, but when one of the shop owners said he had a norinco for $150 I dropped everything and went to pick it up.

I cant think of a single reason not to get one. It is the rifle that started my evil rifle disease

Is there anyway to make them more comfortable for larger than Chinese-sized people?

Thats why I put a Tapco on my Russian 6 position adjustable stock I'm 6'5 and the wife is 5'5 we can both shoot it now.

I know this decision has been hard for you and I know that nobody has stepped up to give you a good reason not to buy an SKS. So, I'll do my best.

Don't buy an SKS because then you'll have to invest heavily in 7.62x39 ammo to feed the habit. You already have the ammo, you say? Well, ok then.

Don't buy an SKS because then you'll have to buy a bunch of accessories to go with it. You don't mind this, you say? Well, ok then.

Don't buy an SKS because you'll be feeding the disease.

Aw... who am I kidding? Buy the SKS! You know you want to. And, if you need any other incentive, here's mine.

. I miss the good old days. That rifle was a lot of fun to shoot
