SKS's were never meant to use detachable mags. You CAN use them, but with the adverse effects you described.

I'm looking @ AK's, anyone have a particular folding stock preference?
The side wire folder is definitely out, but don't know much about the other 2.
the underfolder looks the best.

Torn between the wooden furniture & the plastic too, I like the traditional look of the wood, but the plastic would look better if abused.

Well, I could list my arsenal but it would take some time.
Here are some of the finer guns in my collection, IMHO:
Beretta 20 gauge over/under shotgun
Colt Officer's model, .45 ACP
Para-Ordnanca LDA 7.45, .45 ACP
Smith & Wesson model 629, .44 Magnum
I have some inexpensive guns as well but I don't really see any need to add more cheap guns to my collection. I'd rather save up and get something nice.

Mosin Nagant? Isn't that used by the Vietcongs too? $80 is cheap, is that the show price? Kar98 for $150 is a good price too, I heard that's quite accurate too.
I stopped by a co-worker's house after work and they show me their collection. They even have a cool looking FN FAL with a sharp looking scope. That thing is heavy compare to AK's.
They invited me to the gun show in the first place, and I'm going on Saturday to spend about $800. I guess I won't be getting any ammos. I'll probably pass on the $800 Romanian "Dragunov" and get the other cheaper rifles to start my collection, and execise my right to bare arms.

Mosin Nagant is a Russian riflewhich was in service since 1891. The ammo it's chambered for 7.62x54 rimmed cartridge is still in service to this day with SVD, PKM, and couple other guns. There are several variants you likely find at the show, the original 1891 model, pre-1938, with a hexagonal receiver and a plain front post sight. 91/38 model (1938) has a rounded receiver and a shorter barel with a hooded fron sight. There is a 1910 model carabine which is somewhat rare. Finally, there is a M1944 model carabine with a folding hexagonal bayonet attached which can be found in new or like new condition. This particular model was also manufactured in Poland and Bulgaria after WWII. Any of those models can be found for under $100.00. I personally own two: 1903 year model with now archaic "arshin" measurement sights and a 1938 year rifle which in addition to Tula arsenal markings has Finnish military SA markings indicating that it was captured by Finns during the Winter War and pressed into service.

These guns are easy to maintain and virtually indestructible. Makes a good hunting rifle too due to it's caliber, good accuracy, and smooth trigger. They were built to be soldier-proof. I remember my grandfather telling me how when he was in WWII, he and his buddis would dump their semi-auto (some full auto) SVT's in favor of MN at first chace..

Yup
). The only remarkable ones are a 1897 Tula Finn M39 and a Tula M44.
