@@awyep4169 welp we just need an advanced weapon decay game mechanic that would play out both cosmetically - rust, scratches etc. , and gameplay wise - jams, lower accuracy, slower reloads and all that shit.

What you might be able to do since that original wood looks really rough is coat it in resin and sand it down until it evens out, kinda like youre putting filler on it. Then you can polish the resin and get something that wont put splinters in your hand and looks beautiful.

@covenant05 Год назад

Appreciate you doing this. Although I was a year late You are one of the few channels I found that actual tested a very old gun after restoring it. Most channels just clean it up and just settle for it as a display piece, but most of the time the intense curiosity of "will it ever fire again" is always left to the viewers. You actually took the time to attempt to satisfy that curiosity while doing your best to mitigate the risk. That slow motion of the bolt sliding back after a shot, extracting the bullet case is incredibly satisfying. Hope your content grows keep up the good work

@CRoutdoor Год назад

Better late than never in this case. I'm glad you enjoyed it and that the curiosity was satisfied. I also had that intense curiosity and it increased the deeper I got into the gun. Couple that with peer pressure comments from the first video and I had to go test it out. I'll do my best to keep up the good work and I really appreciate you watching and your generous comment.

@thatfeeble-mindedboy 2 месяца назад

Perfect example of robust Russian design. As I understand it, the decision was made to sacrifice a little muzzle velocity and vent the gas far enough back in the barrel to allow even old, potentially degraded ammunition recovered from the basement of a burned and flooded building and dried in the sun to have a fighting chance of still propelling the round at a useable velocity AND cycle the bolt as well. Even in pre-AK47 days, the 7.62x39 ammo was being produced by the train load.

The Kinzler Bros have a Remington New Model Army that definitely has the potential to fire as well as a WW1 era Remington shotgun, and Bondi Treasure Hunter has a Euro 1851 Colt Navy that just needs a spring and grips, and it may be fireable. Would love to see those fired someday, but not everyone is able to get them to the point of being fireable, even tho they probably are capacble of firing. Been magnet fishing myself for years and haven't come across any guns in the river so far.

@navywolf1753 3 года назад

I am absolutely astounded that this SKS shoots this well, or even at all. As a precautionary measure, you may want to purchase some 7.62x39 headspace gauges to see if the weakened metal is slowly working its way apart. I would expect the bolt to close or get close to closing on a "No-Go" gauge, but if it fully closes on a "field" gauge, hang it up on your wall and do not continue firing it. It's absolutely hilarious that once the crud got blown out of the gas port, this SKS appears to be more reliable than my friend's Bushmaster AR-15. I've seen some people have success with welding up holes and pitting in relic condition helmets, it might be worth trying that out with this SKS if you want to continue using it as a functional firearm. All of this being said, absolutely incredible work you've done to this rifle!

@CRoutdoor 3 года назад

We need to see more of this sks!!!!

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

It might make appearances here and there but it's kinda been relegated to wall hanger duty now, living out it's days as a conversation piece. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Okay, so hear me out. Fill the voids in the wood with dyed fiberglass resin

I’ve cleaned up and repaired a few rusty and beat to shit SKSs but yours takes the cake. Good job on giving that guy a 2nd chance at life. Not surprised it still runs though honestly , they are one of the most reliable and robust rifles ever developed.

@CRoutdoor 3 года назад

I had heard and kinda knew that they pretty tough, but going through this experience has really elevated the respect that I have for the SKS. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

So suprising that gorgeous piece of soviet design could handle the pain of the waters and the punishment of Live rounds. Awesome video!

Glad you liked it. This experience really surprised me as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Other than the trigger assembly and the magazine, I’m actually very impressed in this sks, it did very good for a water bound gun, yes the gun didn’t clean itself, you did a fantasy job on it. I want an sks now haha

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

They're great guns and this experience has increased my respect for them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@1finepoint Год назад

What can I say but that was amazing.

@CRoutdoor Год назад

Thanks, yeah it's pretty crazy how well it did after sitting at the bottom of a river for who knows how long. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

That "oof!" when you fired the second cartridge 😂😂😂

@fjeezy1305 2 года назад

Ive noticed that my $60 m44 also fires high when I don’t have the bayonet fixed. That extra weight brings the barrel down just enough.

@laserbeam002 2 года назад

You got lucky when you found this rifle. You restored it and now you have something to be proud of. Take care of it and pass it on to your kids someday. Take care.

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

Yeah, I feel pretty lucky to have had this opportunity and to share it with people. Thanks for watching and for your kind comment.

Phenomenal restoration and testing brother! Who knows what that thing has seen and been through. Imagine its life's story.... that's a movie waiting to happen

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

Thank you! Yeah, during this whole process I can't count the number of times I've said "If only this thing could talk." I'm sure it has a great story. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

@CannonCountry 2 года назад

@@CRoutdoor When it was that rusted out and still functioned you know it wasnt thrown in a river for being unreliable. I am sure it has a very wild story to tell. To bad we wont know. I cant help but wonder if its seen action and how many countries its visited and toured through. Can you still read the serial? Have you checked for proof marks or anything to determine age?

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

@@CannonCountry Unfortunately no markings survived that deep pitting. If you hold it just right in the light you can make out the slightest impression but nowhere near legible.

@Quadrenaro 2 года назад

Some say this man is brave, but I say this is your average sks owner. Of course we'd all try shooting it :P This video is a pretty good testament to the old SKS though. It's incredible the thing could cycle. I just finished cleaning cosmo off an old norinco, I couldn't imagine doing the work you did on this one.

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

Yeah it was quite an intensive, involved process but it was worth it in the end. My respect for the sks really went up after this experience. I had a newer sks and foolishly sold it a few years ago... enjoy yours. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

@TacShooter 2 года назад

I'm thoroughly amazed that it runs well with broken and out-of-spec parts.

@CRoutdoor 2 года назад

I thought it would do ok with all new replacement parts but I too was amazed that it ran just as good when I started putting the old broken springs back in. A testament to the design? Maybe, but definitely a testament to this particular gun. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@anthonysantiago1999 2 года назад
