Nice one Drache , my buddy just bought a SKS for a 180 bucks and blew 600 rounds through it over the holidays , chrome barrel never dies and if it gets messed up for the price you can just buy 2 more like disposable razors eh lol . One of the local gunsmiths just got 2 crates full of em they're selling for that price , SFRC keeps trying to sell me one with like 1400 rnds of ammo for 400 bucks ,makes me laugh about what it costs me to own and operate my 338 Lapua mag .
