Received this from a Threeper I trust implicitly regarding LaRue Tactical quality control problems and service issues.

Here’s his latest to me: Mike, I’d like to warn people about buying scope mounts from LaRue Tactical since you [...]

do you guys like em

I was thinking we could have one that was dedicated to the SKS. I bought (layaway) a Yugo SKS Rifle Stocks today, I paid $251 (is that a good price?) total. It has the flip up grenade sight, and long muzzle device. Stock was dark (possibly dirty?), all numbers matched (don’t know if that’s a big deal?) and the pad on the butt plate was intact. I don’t know much about the SKS, but I’m betting someone here does. I’ll post up some pics of it next week.

SKS are good simple reliable rifles, hard to beat.
Order up some spam cans of ammo on stripper clips.
The stippers are resuable, and make loading fast.

Price, not bad these days, when SKS’s first started to get imported many years ago they where around $75 – $100 wholesell. Ammo was about that same price for 1100 on stippers and 1500 loose.
Should have put away a case of the russian ones. I like the looks of the older Russian ones, they are listed as C & R’s nowadays.

Its been reported, but I’m not sure if 100% fact, that China imported more SKS’s in a 3-5 year span then the entire production of Win. Model 94′s.

im not saying your wrong (seriously i’m not)
but i definitly re buying 2 crates of sks’s in 94 (pretty sure it was 94) for a grand total of about 45 dollars a rifle
couldn’t tell you what kind they were, i was all of about 16 and my “cousin” was 18, and at the time it seemed like an awesome idea.

as teenagers coming out of the cold war era we had a serious survivor mentality for some reason, so the crates and ammo we picked up with em went into a “cache” for a lack of a better word. where we “lived” at the time, that kind of stuff didn’t really raise any eyebrows. They guy we bought em from was a serious, old school, country, kitchen table ffl, who had crates and crates of stuff in his garage.

which reminds me, i should prolly go retrieve them from their current location before that property gets sold.

hadn’t even thought about those rifles in years.

In ’94, they were probably Chinese.

That’s about the time they were as common as most anything else in the local stores.

I should have bought more and I should have held on the the ones I bought. Have one Yugo now.

Oh yes, the Norinco SKS. I have both the rifle and carbine version. Great shooters and neither have ever failed to go bang. Back in the early 90′s you could get a rifle and 1,000 rounds for under $150 IIRC. Now I see them selling for $300+.

i dont even know what version they are,

all we knew was they were 40$ a rifle in crates of 10 with all kinds of cool shit, and the ammo was cheap as hell. Since we “put them down” we havent even touched the spot where they are, out of sight out of mind and all,

i think we pretty much verified that they were all real rifles, and then we set em up for loooooong term storage.

that old guy was cool as hell, he always had all kinds of crap, i think he went to alot of auctions at the ng base nearby.

we ended up with all kinds of cool stuff everytime we swung by

i’ll be the first to admit that my childhood was kind of different than most other folks, had alot of slightly unhinged vets as role models, who thought that kids should know everything they had to teach about what they learned in the service.

and the local neighbors (ie on the bounds of our acerage) were pretty much all serious survivalists, learned alooooot

and alot of what i learned has paid huge dividends in my military carrer

I particularly like the cheek riser concept for us ghost ring guys. KCabbage 4/22/2011 5:21:25 PM The Urbino is a great stock but the grip needs to be redesigned as the back is rather square. Why they would release it like that is beyond me.

: IWC sells only to our end-users through the web on our own site. We do not sell to Wholesale or Dealers. If we decide to, we will have to offer a substantial amount of our Margin or Profit to them so they can make a profit as well. Some in the Industry do not sell to Distributors and most do. Without naming those who don’t, compare their Retail price to those who do. The ones who don’t sell to Dealers are probably making substantially more from each customer, like you and I, than those who are. IWC may sell to Retail / Wholesale Dealers in the future, because our volume will increase and even though our Margin or Profit per component drops, our total profit across all components will probably increase because we’re selling many more units per month. If we decide to, our Retail Pricing to you, our customer, will fall as well. Lastly, I’ll give you an example of IWC”s VALUE that CLICKBANGBANG and I experienced when looking for a rifle sling mount for our own personal MOE equipped AR’s. To mount a sling, you need a Mount and a Rail Section. IWC’s MOUNT-N-SLOT is a minimum of 20% less and over 100% less than any other manufacturer’s components. And we think we attach a rifle sling with fewer parts, less weight, and better functional design than the other manufacturers. I hope this helps explain how IMPACT WEAPONS COMPONENTS prices our MOUNT-N-SLOT brand Direct Attach Mounts.That is not for a 1.25 inch rifle sling but rather a loop if you will for a hook type single point rifle sling

Duh!

The only thing the Trijicon Reflex has over the EOTech is its light weight and the lack of batteries. The Trijicon sits on my WASR 10/63 and the EOTech on my LMT MRP Piston carbine. jncryer Mar 2011 USA AZ, USA Online Posts: 29

The Benelli AccessoriesM4 semi-automatic shotgun has been adopted by the US Army as well as the US Marines, and is rapidly appearing in American law enforcement arsenals. “For some reason,” continued Barrie, “the Benelli AccessoriesM4, while a terrific shooting platform, is something of an orphan when it comes to aftermarket stocks. Our law enforcement customers were very excited to learn we were not only working on a shorter stock, but that we were supporting the Benelli AccessoriesM4 right out of the gate.”

Go to www.sksboards.com and start posting, and looking there. You can also post a WTB ad, but you may have to make a small donation to the site. That sorta makes you a of the site and lets you see the all of the classifieds and post in the classifieds as well.
Was at a local shop and saw a Glnic imports SKS Rifle Stocks marked “CGA made in China” . It is in excellent condition, all matching, machined trigger group, screw in barrel, and spike bayo. They want $295.00. Never heard of this importer or manufacturer. Is this a good gun?

During the class the reticle was very dim. New batteries didn’t fix it. I used it okay during the class, but contacted EOTech afterwards. They said it was an issue and to send them the optic. 1.5 weeks later I got the sight back with no issues. Apparently, some layer in the holo sight de-laminated. I haven’t had any major issues with the optic other than that. The optic was still serviceable during the class, so I can’t really complain since they fixed it quickly and for free. Good customer service. MaineAR I’ve had my EOTech 512 for about 4 years now and it has been a fantastic site. I’ve had it on several rifles with a GG&G quick disconnect mount. I’ve never had an issue with it and would buy another in the future. Friendly_Crusader 511 made in 2001 personally used for 2 years, 2500rds + no problems, not even battery drain problems, but it does feature a short battery life. fuzzy03cls I have 2 512′s plus a Bushnell holosite that’s like the 512 & takes AA batteries. 1 512 is 2006, on AR15 1 512 is 2010, on AR15 Bushnell holosite 512 is on my AK47 Round counts are upwards of 3K for each. All 3 sights have worked great for me. I have no battery drain problems, or recoil issues with the batteries. I have dropped or banged my AR a few times, the sights have held up well. Zero holds fine. All 3 sights last easily 6 months on lithium batteries. I have owned a 511 & the Bushnell holosite equivalent. Performance was the same but the batteries did only last about a month. Even when off. I played with the newer XPS sights. I just don’t like the size/feel of them & the batteries. I prefer AA batteries cause I can find them anywhere. Daddy loves you. Now go away.
