I can hit up to 150m with scope but 100m is optimal on iron sights

2018-12-10 04:58:09 UTC  

For the SKS?

2018-12-10 04:58:15 UTC  

On what gun? You can shoot much further than 100 on irons

2018-12-10 04:58:28 UTC  

The SKS on the latter

2018-12-10 04:58:50 UTC  

The range goes up to 200m I believe

2018-12-10 04:59:14 UTC  

7.62Soviet is a 300m round, you can do further, but it is minute of man at 300m for most

2018-12-10 04:59:31 UTC  

The outdoor range near me(2 hour drive sadly) is 100m but they're building a 600m range and that should be ready in the spring

2018-12-10 05:00:08 UTC  

I have an indoor range 30 mins away that goes up to 100m but they cost more, especially if you don't have a membership

2018-12-10 05:00:29 UTC  

When i start my job i'll probably get a membership for them, i want to buy a CMP M1 garand too

2018-12-10 05:00:45 UTC  

I tried using a smaller rifle with a scope and I was wobbling too much to aim to the furthest target

2018-12-10 05:01:48 UTC  

I was using the SKS and AR-15 mostly

2018-12-10 05:02:06 UTC  

SKS is fun, fuck import bans

2018-12-10 05:02:18 UTC  

Canadians get them for $200-300 cad

2018-12-10 05:02:19 UTC  

Yeah that is minute of man. If I may, grab a 1903A4 if you can find a cheep one. They are 500m rifles

2018-12-10 05:02:24 UTC  

I think my friend paid like $600

2018-12-10 05:02:42 UTC  

Damn he overpaid then unless it was never fired

2018-12-10 05:02:57 UTC  

You can buy a russian one in good condition for that

2018-12-10 05:03:26 UTC  

It's something that was used in the 1980s according to him and not something milled in the 2000s

2018-12-10 05:03:56 UTC  

It was covered in that gunk when he got it

2018-12-10 05:04:10 UTC  

Yugo SKSes are the most recently manufactured ones out of the 3 most popular sks types(russian, chinese, yugo)

2018-12-10 05:04:23 UTC  

Probably covered in cosmoline for long term storage

2018-12-10 05:04:33 UTC  

Yep, cosmoline

2018-12-10 05:04:34 UTC  

Cosmoline. Did he bake it off?

2018-12-10 05:04:45 UTC  

He cleaned it all off

2018-12-10 05:05:25 UTC  

Stripped it and got it all out of the interior, reoiled the necessary components

2018-12-10 05:06:32 UTC  

Knew a FFL back in the day that did a lot of comblock surplus, had an electric kitchen oven right in the shop to heat up the Cosmoline so he could get it off for the floor samples.

2018-12-10 05:07:00 UTC  

If memory serves, the gun date was around right before Yugoslavia dissolved

2018-12-10 05:07:29 UTC  

So late 80's early 90's

2018-12-10 05:07:34 UTC  

Yeah

2018-12-10 05:08:01 UTC  

Him trying the Sten

2018-12-10 05:08:26 UTC  

Absolute piece of junk of a gun

2018-12-10 05:08:33 UTC  

I need to build a E-11

2018-12-10 05:08:45 UTC  

Lol some genius in my area is trying to sell their "tactical" chinese sks for $600

2018-12-10 05:08:45 UTC  

Most stens are parts kits man

2018-12-10 05:08:58 UTC  

Hastily made, yeah

2018-12-10 05:09:16 UTC  

And in the photo, that is the 100m, the background is the 200m

2018-12-10 05:10:05 UTC  

Question, should I build a STEN kit into a Storm Trooper E-11 or a Clone Trooper carbine?

2018-12-10 05:10:35 UTC  

I for sure can hit the 100 but 200 I don't know, maybe

2018-12-10 05:11:18 UTC  

What's the difference in the two

2018-12-10 05:11:54 UTC  

One has the Holy Trilogy feel and the other has Revenge of the Sith feel to it.
