The SKS is cheap, and a fun gun, but quite a far cry from the AK-47- big thing being that the SKS is not clip fed, it has an internal mag that is fed with stripper clips- can be converted to be clip fed, but mags are more expensive and by the time I calculated out the cost it was cheaper to buy the AK than make an SKS with the stuff I wanted- Note that if the annoying loading method of the SKS doesnt bother you, then it can be a nice little gun for under 200- a good AK will run you at least 300 ( prices are guestimated, and for the midwest)
Echo the ammo thing though- Ak or sks are cheap to shoot, as long as you buy the right brand of ammo- also, most places the calibur is legal to hunt with-
me, I've always wanted a doublebarrel coach gun....
