What do you think is the most overlooked firearm ?
Post pics and tell us why you chose your firearm choice as the most over looked.
Over looked can mean lowest , price most reliable but why you think your firearm choice is one
maybe people pass by and go eh !
Me its the SKS, being in production (Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova),
Designs started in 1943, but most models hit the floor after 1945 thats along time and no matter where the SKS is made its a very reliable rugged and still inexpensive rifle.
Only con is most new SKS's are soaked in comsmoline and require fair amount of cleaning right down to bolt internals. And on Norincos the stock can be kinda short for those over 6ft like me. Yugos tend to reach find and there are 2" sks buttpad addition to screw on using back plate screws.
I will keep it short and that is why I see the SKS as one of the most overlooked firearms ever made.

- Field strip with nothing more then a knife to pop the trigger. NO TOOL strip.
- Fires the 7.62x39 more commonly known for use in the AK-47
- Many models to choose even some that come with AK-style mags.
- Easy to customize hundreds of kits for it.
- Still under $400 for a semi-auto self contained rifle.
- Fixed but easily opened 10 round magazine ( 20rd can be found ).
- Built like tanks even the Norinco made in China are very well made.
