Found a SKS w/Tactical goodies
Do you guys think I should hop on this?

I found a "tactical" Chinese SKS with fiberglass adjustable stock, picatinny quad rail front end, With a laser and flashlight mounted with pressure switches. The bayonet lug has a bipod attached. Looks good, sorry no pics. comes with a red dot scope, a rifle scope, a bunch of stripper clips. Price for this is $599 plus fees.

I am/was looking for a Kel-tec SU-16 CA but saw the above which is roughly the same price as the Kel-tec.

Holy crap ............HELL NO!!! an SKS should not be over 200bucks no matter what it has on it or who made it. No matter how much money you sink in to an SKS you still have an SKS, it will still have the flaws that an SKS has that make it worth about 200bucks tops.

If you do go the SKS route , get a cheap one and spend the rest on ammo to practice with, practice is the only thing that will make you shoot better, all that flash on a SKS is like painting a turd gold, or putting $2,000 rims and a $1,000 stereo in a $200 car.

no more so than doing the same thing to another rifle, ARs included.

not only is it over priced, but the sks is not a gun you want to mod
trust me i got a yugo and its a great gun if you keep it stock!

but none of the mods i tried i.e.various scope mounts detachable mags and the fiberforce stock
failed miserably!
