Picked up one of these at the Trading Post today, NIB. Gorgeous piece of walnut. Good trigger.
I found 100 pcs of 30 year old IMI un primed brass in the reloading room but I can't find my dies! Guess a test fire will have to wait. ~Muir

Sold it to Neil (Hornet 6) a couple of years ago.
Sometimes think I'd like another but have no "Good Reason" for it now - moved up to .243 and .308 and they cover my needs
Who lost his good reason almost as soon as he got home with it, it has sat in the safe unused ever since
It probably is about time I advertised it, and all the dies etc. scope rings and moderator I have bought for it
Neil.
Neil, did you get it screw cut and the front sight repositioned?

Always thought this would be a lovely little rifle for roe. Sadly it doesn't make energy / velocity requirements for roe deer in the UK.
With home loading it is possible to have it deer legal for deer!
As I lost the permission it was for at about that time I haven't bothered to sort it out.

Grendel, Grendel, Grendel... Go on join the dark side.
I'm sure she has. I have an acquaintance in South Dakota who uses a carbine like mine on big river-bottom whitetails. Says he wouldn't carry anything else. I spent the weekend with my girlfriend looking at deer out west of me but I did manage to sneak to the range with the CZ and a box of PPU 123 grain FMJ before we left. I set up at 8" paper plate at 25M and put 10 shots into 3/4" x 1.7" grouping off hand with the iron sights. That was as good as I could hold. I went back out this evening and met up with some buddies at the range. We were hitting hitting a 8" diameter steel plate at 100 once we learned where to hold. I think I need to set the rear sight to the right a tad.Let us know how that thing shoots. I bet is pretty accurate. I would like a CZ 527 FS in a Mannlicher stock.
The 7.62x39mm is not a long range cartridge, but is sure makes a nice deer round for a lightweight carbine for work inside 150 yards.
There have been millions of whitetail deer killed with the SKS in the USA. My ChiCom SKS is pretty light weight with the bayonet removed. A friend of mine, a dentist, has a wife who got into deer hunting and bought an SKS for $79.00 back about 20 years ago, then moved on to a Ruger Mini-30. She has killed a boxcar load of deer with the Winchester Silvertips.
Here it is on the tail gate of my old Hilux.~Muirpictures or it never happened!!
sounds an awesome bit of kit
