SKS complete review and history with Jerry Miculek (4K UHD) 

And gun Jesus (forgotten weappons) 😉 🍻

best comment ever!!! so true!

They need to do some videos together!

Gun Jesus And Paul Harrell

It was the best timeline until 2020 happened

Tactical hom0s lol

Yevgen, you are number 1!

Bang on!

While you may be correct, i refuse to believe anything other than the fact jerry is so fast that he overpressured the chamber to the point the cycle delayed and the well spring shot out an extra round during the delay 😂

Yes or start on the left if loading from the bottom.

Never seen a sks shoot that fast. Wow.

Toasted Apple 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯

If you were "the Flash" you may have a chance.😂

If you do, you're just gonna die tired. =D

You'd be dead before you could register the sound of the beep.

Last thing you here is "Here we go...BEEP."

Yeah, I thought I was dumb lmao, iv always used stripper clips and or load from the top. I love leaning something about a gun that iv had for so damn long though. Good shit

Did they have them loose in a barrel?

​@@paule1983 No, the WW1 guns were in a barrel. I remember SKS for $49

I remember $19.99 at Rose's

+Carpio Cyprinus Exactly!

I concur :-)

Indeed...pumping rounds out 20 at a time with my Tapco mags always gets other shooters around me at the gun range looking and pointing at me. They look awestruck as I'm putting lead on target at 100 yards consistently, and even more awestruck when I tell them I bought it 1992 for 89 bucks.

Norinco ?

More like overrated. Same with mosins

you mean overrated right? lol

@@s.d.8479 They are just laughing at the Crapco mag

Do you have to use stripper clips ?

@@patrickcenkush519 you can get 30 round mags specially designed for the SKS. They work like a dream.

@@christopherbrice5473 No modifications needed?

Nothing like good ole stripper clips! Yeehaw!

@@christopherbrice5473 mine has a 35 round mag and it has no problems with it!

" Living Right, Living Free"

If I were the gun designer, I'd expand the capacity a bit to carry 16 rounds instead of 10. SKS is a neat semi-auto.

@@TellenJones more rounds are always better! I just wonder if it would function as reliably. People modify SKS’s to take AK mags and they almost never work as intended

Not fast is around 750 rounds per minute probably

Not fast is pulling the trigger and sear falling at the same time. When he goes fast, trigger hits the frontstrap before the sear registers that its time to trip hammer.

@Milhaus Well that's dumb, commies suck but the guns are fine weapons. It ain't like you're supporting communism none.

...late 90s you could buy a 10 rifle crate of them in the Shotgun News and they were 99 or 95 bucks a piece per rifle....

@Milhaus don’t be overdramatic, obviously communism and the Soviet Union was a horrible thing but the guns are great weapons and pieces of history in some cases, are you not gonna own an h&k g36c because... Fascist? Or a German kar because... fascist? If you don’t like the weapons then fine, but don’t be so dramatic because a rifle had history you don’t like

@Milhaus So the soldiers who fought in Vietnam weren't coerced with a draft, and punished if they attempted to evade it? The communists are no friends of mine, but in the respect of forcing men to become soldiers, no government is innocent.

I remember one article written a Jew who liked owning Nazi guns. To him it was a sign that we conquered them.

I went fishing in Russia and we drank a 12-case of vodka there...When we returned home, no one could believe that we only drank 11 bottles and the last one survived, unopened...

Let's shoot the happy little target with some shiny copper.... *BAM*

ALIENWarriorX Sounds just like Bob!! LOL!

I was about to say the same thing!!!

"Over here maybe there's a happy little bullet hole, maybe we'll give him a friend too, we don't know."

Wasnt Bob Ross that guy that painted pictures on PBS?

Thanks I'm getting one sometime this week and I didnt know that. Can you load them singly from the top?

@@Bagheera2 yes just press down with your finger one at a time if you dont have the strip

Better than getting sks thumb

@@trollmastermike52845 wait that's a thing?

@@Bagheera2 yes is as bad or worst than a m1 when it comes to the damage

Lover my SKS. Especially with the 30 round magazine.

That's silly. The sks is a good gun but if you were fighting against someone with an AR15 you'd lose every time, if for no other reason that capacity and speed of reloads. You have 3 reloads for every 1 AR mag, and can reload much quicker with AR. Transportation of reloads is harder on stripper clips too. The T top sks mags are even worse to carry. The sks serves much better as a patrol rifle where few rounds will be fired. It's not something you want to fight with, which is why it saw very limited use in combat.

@@realtyrocks1969 you don't need a stripper clip to load an sks I have 30rnd 20rnd plastic mags just like an ar15 and I got a speed loader it's not harder to load an sks than an ar15 I don't know where you got your information maybe do some research on an sks I have and ar15 style stock for mine and I have red dot and it's semi automatic like an ar15 and the ammo is abundant like ar15 so look at how much different accessories there are for an ar15. Maybe in the 50s I would of had a wood stock and 5rnd 10 red mags that took stripper clips but sks accessories evolved you can make your sks look any way you want. So before you blurt out a paragraph know your weapon I have and ar15 to so I understand what accessories and both are capable of.

@Marz8999 1st off dude I've had an SKS since I was 13 years (more than 30 yrs) old. I currently own 3 of them so you're not going to tell me anything about the SKS I don't already know. And I know you don't need stripper clips to load the sks. You can load them one at a time from the top or you can load them by dropping them in the bottom of the mag. (Either way is slower than AR15) You can convert your sks to run on mags but they have that stupid T at the top of the mag, they are a curved mag and are much harder to run in a chest rig, especially when compared to a nearly straight magazine of an AR15 with no T top. You're a dishit kid and you have no idea what you're talking about. The AR15 has a nearly straight magazine that inserts directly into the magwell and drops fast. The sks has a T shaped magazine (because it was not designed to use a removable mag) and its required rocking in to hold the magazine much more like an AK. The design of the AR15 is far superior in every aspect to the SKS and is why almost nobody has used the sks in combat and nearly everybody used the AR platform. Ps. Your mom is calling you to dinner.

@@realtyrocks1969 alright thanks for the rundown sks specialist have a good one.

Slam fires are a notorious thing for the SKS. The free floaters need total cleaning of cosmoline.

My buddies sks slam fired first time we tried it. We shot hundreds of rounds that day. No control but fun as hell.

@@dannysmith634 mine shot really bad with old surplus ammo like hours of angle but cleaned right up with domestic white box

Pre shot targets?

@@paule1983 😆 Joker

@@dannysmith634 Mine shoots 4-5 inch groups at 50 yards... even after installing a scope. Of course, mine is the cheap variety with the pinned barrel. He has one of the nicer ones. I wish mine could pattern better than a shotgun! lol AMAZES me to watch him shoot like that offhand and with iron sights!!!

@@ironmonkey1512 thats because the barrel is almost shot. I replaced one of my sks barrels last year, got the barrel from a gun store for $100.

no wonder insisting on the 2 cent flag

TheManChannel remember Hickok shooting 20 out of a 10 round mag? :P

bullets know its Jerry, they leave on their own due to RESPECT! LOL

To fast for the sks

😆😆😆😆

Johann Bach not if I wanted it do shoot faster then a light blot AR haha

A buddy bought an actual self loading AK-47 and I could not comfortably shoulder it to careful use stock steel sights. I had to crick my head way down low and crooked. Is the SKS better? Sort of confirms what I see on news films. The bad guys seem to use full automatic much of the time. I have heard that's what the gun was designed for. Specifically, dig it out of the rice paddy fire three seconds of full auto and reload. Those magazine pouches on the chest hold what? Six 30 round magazines? It was all I could mange to find room for ten twenty round magazines of 7.62 NATO up into the guard tower East of Pleiku. I have no actual idea what I am talking about. But I have seen and done the things described.

@@bradchirdaris2190 Douche

@@davidrapalyea7727 lol.

Yep. After having one I'll never go back to the AK or AR.

Miculek is a national treasure...

Well said

Yep social media no matter what you do it's wrong lol.

@@kevinshockey2765 got that right!

I can't stand all the armchair experts on RU-vid comments!

300 yards??? and you have video too? did you aim a bit to the left to compensate for the earths rotation?

"Accurate" is best used describing the shooter, rarely the gun

Can u even see a milk jug at 300 yards without an optic

Couldnt have said it better. He reminds me of my old rotc instructor.

Same. One of the most satisfying guns I own. I have bought more guns since, but that simple cheap SKS was a perfect first gun. It is still a go-to-gun in my collection.

Did you get one?

I think left in their stocking figuration is when they’re at their most practical because of the internal cleaning kit system

@@daggerg8451 Naaaa the folding stock I have still holds the cleaning rod and the patch holders and patches go in the pistol grip.

@@GeorgeBonez but the bedding isn’t as good every aftermarket stock I’ve seen the gas tube doesn’t fully seat

@@GeorgeBonez maybe if it was full auto it would be worth it but not really a point

Jordan GrizzChair actually its the stupidest idea from this fucking idiot guy who cant even speak correctly. U play as u train. And u dont need flags in all u need to do is keep bolt locked open

He does this because all weapons must be flagged at events, which is where he shoots at. It's not really practical when shooting on your own range by yourself. It's a good idea for safe storage though.

Brother you ain't lyin'! I wish I would have stocked up back when they were 99 bucks unfired and packed in cosmoline. Ammo and strip clips were cheap. I miss the good days after the wall fell.

+Paradise Road I remember seeing garbage bins stuffed full of them for sale at the hardware store when I was a kid for about $50 and stacks of crates of ammo next to it. Good old days.

+Ammobucket Not calling you old, but man, those most of been the days. Rifles in garbage cans being sold at hardware stores? People freak out if you pull out a folder with a 4" blade in a hardware store.

Nicholas Evans That's what is scary, it wasn't that long ago. Maybe 30 years. Shows how fast things can change.

I can remember going to gun shows in the late 80's and early 90's and seeing SKS and Mosin rifles by the crate for 75 dollars each. If you bought multiple rifles they would make better deals. We'd buy 4-5 every time and a case of ammo. Man I miss the old days...

He should really cycle out the oldest ammo and do a FILO system

I did the same on my Norinco. After going synthetic, it no longer punched my cheek bone.

J& K Amen! It only takes one time.

Acts and prove

It would be safer with a cable lock through the action.

I didnt know checking and making sure the gun is unloaded was a "cool guy" thing. That is one of the first things you learn is making sure you are loaded/unloaded. It does only take one time but if you follow the right steps you dont have to worry about anything. I'm sure a man like jerry is capable of something to obvious

To "FANG"... damn that's funny. If I may add....Its worse... its a "liberal lawyer" 'indoor cat' - idiot bot.

Cifyra needs stripper clips

sydneycbr let me load my sks like that and you run out 200 yds in front of me and tell me I’m stupid, you say it’s wrong but I bet you’re too bitch to back it up

@@TheMythOfTheThickSix it is wrong to to load an sks like that but calling someone a stupid American is just fucking racist.

@@napalmenthusiast4423 american isnt a race

@@ryneprince7113 white American is.

@@napalmenthusiast4423 no one said white american

It's from a time before the rampant socialism of current US politics. And before the jackasses at Oly Arms built a 7.62x39 AR-15 Platform Pistol. I recall my last order made from an ad in the Shotgun News for three 1200rd Cases of Chinese 7.62x39 in 1997. $240, delivered. 3600 rounds. 18 months later, the ATF banned it as AP since it was steel cored.

Paddy O'Fernature I thought those were banned in 1994.

+Lion Celica You're right! Clinton banned the importation of Chinese "guns" and ammunition into the United States on May 26, 1994. I do know that's the last great deal I ever got on MilSurp.....

Paddy O'Fernature I can imagine. It's a shame russian surplus was cut off this year as well. :/ I have family up in Canada that can buy Norinco brass cased 308 for something like 25 cents. I'm jealous.

we have ammo 7.62x32 for about 1 dollar per cartridge ((( Ukraine....

Adjusted to inflation they really haven't gone up much.

@@thecatguy4301 you really think 60$ in 1995 is 600 dollars now 5 dollars in 1899 is only 100 bucks now

@@JessJess347 No idea what you're talking about

BTW, you can test this hypothesis quite easily by intentionally loading a single round on the incorrect side of the magazine.

I think he’s got it buddy. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he knows the chances and don’t care.

Just bought one myself today and you could imagine the look on my face when I saw the review videos and people praising the gun from less than a decade ago saying how they got it for about $100-300. Excited to take it out to the range and see how she fires.

Ya, I found that out one day. Surprised the shit out of me. 1 shot turned into 5.

Starline x39 brass takes the LRP. Gonna need to score some of that CCI milspec when they become available.

Here is a tip for those wishing to buy an SKS...a surplus never-fired-still-in cosmoline..and don't want the firing pin "surprise? or he tedium and PITA cleaning of cosmoline. Works best in summer here in Canada, and any place where temps become brutal inside automobiles with the windows closed. Wrap your SKS in rags...every bit of it...muzzle opening to butt-plate...but it in a black garbage bag, and lay on the dash of your vehicle, facing the afternoon sun. Trust me, it will sweat out all the cosmoline. Caveat, you still need to remove the firing pin and ensure it is gone. NEVER assume :_)

@@GlowingBentley oooooo an expert.....and named Bentley too. nothin but the best huh

Do a rattle test: shake the bolt and you should be able to hear the firing pin moving back and forth and making a rattling sound! There are some firing pin kits available ( or at least there were atone time) that had a modified firing pin with a spring on it to keep it rearward until the hammer hit it.
