Hi everybody I'm looking to trade my SKS sporter. This is the carbine that takes AK mags. I bought it last fall from another member and haven't really used it. It comes with 5 magazines and about 180 rounds. This is a picture I found, it looks just like mine.
One thing I've noticed about this rifle, every once in a while when you cycle the action as the bolt closes it drops the hammer as well. Obviously this can cause a slamfire. I shot it once and put one magazine through without any slamfires and then I cycled one more magazine by hand and got one slamfire. My thinking is that someone messed with the trigger group. It might need a new sear or disconnector or something. I'm not a gunsmith so I don't want to mess with it, but I believe all the parts for the trigger group are relatively inexpensive and available.
I'm mainly looking to trade for a 9mm carry package but I might also consider a revolver carry package (Ruger, older S&W or Colt). I would also consider a CZ 82 or an older Marlin 1984 in .357. $600 would also take it.
Thanks for looking.
