That’s literally the attitude that has lead to butchered rifles all the time

It’s not like you’re the rock island auction house

“it’s just an SKS”
“It’s just a mosin”
Forty years ago it was “it’s just a Mauser”

It’s like saying ‘how dare you change my 1986 civic!’

except they make civics now

better ones

nobody makes SKS’s anymore

A zillion SKSs exist

It’s not like they’re evaporating

Holy fuck you absolute moron

They’re sitting collecting dust in corners of gun shops

That attitude is literally what makes them disappear

How so?

“There’s a zillion mosins”

Yes. There are.

Now they’re fucking 300$

And they’re all garbage.

From about 75

That doesn’t matter

And anyone who pays $300 for one is an utter idiot

It literally does not matter how good the gun is

Wait, what?

It doesn’t

You’re buying a nug as a collection piece

...

Same as any milsurp rifle

Sure.

No, you’re buying it because /k/ told you to

Why the fuck else would you want a 70 year old Russian piece of shit sewer pipe?

If not for shooting and collecting?

Because the internet told me that I could be a partisan with it, duh

I

What

I mean, SKS is just a notch above Russian sewer pipe

It is

Hence having it for shooting and collection purposes

My enfield

Is for collection purposes

It’s great to shoot

This was all lead off with the premise that you were getting a gun to shoot
