[willy]

Have both an original all forged Russian, built like a brick SH. Will do 4-6" at 100 at best. But will do it all day.
Have a Chinese stamped steel receiver will out shoot the Russian by a little, not much.
Bought both when Clinton got into office.
Have a Ruger Ranch Rifle stainless in the same caliber. Never had any problems with walking strings with it, bought in 2000 or so.
Best combat cartridge made ever for semi auto.
By the way there is a huge group of men who are full blown survivalist and the SKS is far and away the preferred weapon.
