Yugoslavian SKS PAP M59/66, My Latest Acquisition

Hi Eric

Yes of course, hollow point, would transfermore energy on the target, would you use them for the larger animals???

Cheers

Things change state to state on the hunter orange laws.
Bow season you can go all camo here though I do not bow hunt.
HP is for hollow point,We are not allowed to use FMJ full metal jacket.
They can travel to far, after going through your target.
Some states you can only use a shotgun with a slug to hunt.

Deer is the largest game we have to hunt here in Missouri.
So not sure on other state laws, I only hunt on my 35 acres and do not have to pay for a deer tag.
The state gives me what is called a Farm tag or(land owners tag).
I must say I have harvested many deer with this gun and is my fav.
I have also had success with my Nagant and K98 and Arisaka and my Brit 303 But I like the SKS best.
I am not the average hunter around here as most have scoped 700 Win mag or so, I like the open sight challenge.

You mention your Nagent Eric, what model is it? The biggest quarry I have hunted are rabbits and wood pigeons, the latter being a canny foe ! haha

Here are my SKS's I have on the wall of my office in my Gun shop. One is a New 1949 date. Russian, One is my New unissued "Yugo", The last one is a Chinese model I picked up in 1980. it has a factory conversion to AK magazine. It has a 40rd. magazine in it. I have shot this one.
I just thought they were odd so I kept them for my office.
Years ogo when the chinese imports were going on I use to buy these by the case of 5 or 10 at a time when I could buy them for 150.00 each. Sold a lot of them to farmers to keep on their tractors and combines. They were cheap back then.
Thanks,

Stay away from this set up.
Scope is so far away you cant see anything through it.
They made it this way just to clear the bolt handle and to sell the item, just trash IMO.
So I made my own.


Very nice John!!

Hi John

I like the Russian example ! Thanks for showing !

[Eric Zentner]

The Russian is just like my hunter rifle.
The stock is in the closet but the gas tube is orig in my deer pic.
I like the look of the wood on these so I try to protect it.
