The cheap yet fun SKS has attracted much attention in the last few years.
This is indeed detrimental to new gun owners and returning customers looking for fun/cheap/milsurp.

I first seen SKSs in a military arms encyclopedia as a kid. I was excited to actually be able own one when I got my PAL. Very cool, although its not something I would pay much more for. Price justified the expenditure. I own a refurb 1952 Tula,very average CTC $200 wonder.

I went to pick another one the day after I seen the CTC memo posted on the 13th. Too late in MH. The M305s are still showcased at this point. Ièm not going to jump on a Norinco at this point....at the local gun show, there was a few up for sale. I get that folks buy them for the sake of novelty/look and re-sell them quick...

If the RCMP and CTC are still using that RCMP memo about possible slamfire as a way to drive the last nail in the coffin of the SKS RIGHT NOW, its using whatever they can try to find to make it go away.
Time to be vigilant!
