I sold mine a while back, had to pay for a wedding ring! It wasn't that accurate, but it was damned reliable, it never failed to shoot. Every one I talked to said don't clean it, you might mess it up, they shoot better dirty. I met a guy who was a former NVA, he said(in a broken accent) " gun get too hot? stick gun in stream! keep shooting gun". If you can find a true Russian SKS, you'll have something, other wise they don't do much for me. I do like the stripper clips, I had detachable 30 round magazines and found the stock box mag with strippers was far more reliable and faster/easier to load. I sold the nags off to some on else. As far as accuracy goes on eastern bloc guns, the mosin is the way to go. If you want an american gun in 7.62X39. look for a Mini 30. Make sure you get one that is a 591 series, the older ones had crap barrels on them, they would string shots as they got hot, the newer ones are far better. BTW, my brother in law has his AR15 for sale(with ammo)
