RUSSIAN SKS RIFLES FOR SALE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2009 --

One of the most popular weapons on the list of serious gun collectors is the russian sks rifle, according to a new website, http://russiansksriflesforsale.com/. This weapon was created in 1945 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. Although there are a number of variants, the standard SKS is a semi-automatic carbine type, with a weight of 8 pounds 8 ounces, a length of 40.2 inches, and a barrel length of 20.5 inches. The SKS carbine was rather quickly phased out of first-line service, replaced by the AK-47, but remained in second-line service for decades afterwards. It remains a ceremonial arm today.

"The SKS is popular on the civilian surplus market, especially in the United States," says a popular gun dealer. "Because of their historic and novel nature, Russian and European SKS rifles are classified by the BATF as "Curio & Relic" items under US law, allowing them to be sold with features that might otherwise be restricted." Chinese manufactured rifles, however, are not so classified. Because of the massive size of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, over 8 million Chinese SKS rifles were produced during their 20 years of use making the Chinese SKS one of the most mass produced military rifles of all time.

One of the best places to find a weapon of this type is at one of the online gun auctions, such as http://onlinegunauctionsite.com/. This site represents gunbroker.com, which is by far the largest person-to-person online gun auction site for
hunters, sport shooters, gun collectors, knives & swords, air guns, archery and
accessories.
