I would get an AK over sks due to the detachable magazine. Why not just get both



Well they sell detachable mag kits for the SKS. Also, .300blk is a bit expensive compared to 7.62X39 which is really the selling point (cheap cost for a good intermediate cartridge). But yeah, if cost isn't a factor, .300blk AR all the way.

I wish i could go back in time and buy a crate of SKS rifles. Back when i bought my first AK you could get them for around $70 didn't buy one at the time since the gun shop talked them down.

Booooo. If you want a detachable mag go with a different system. SKS just works great with the fix 10 found mag. Stripper clips are cheap and take up zero room when you compare it to the duck bill SKS detachable magazines. The fixed is also much more reliable. With a little practice you can feed the SKS from strippers really quickly. I love the way the SKS handles without a giant magazine hanging out of the bottom. It's pretty tough to beat as a bush gun.
