This video from Brownells Gun Tech features Caleb Savant detailing the Soviet SKS semi-automatic service rifle. He explains its historical context as a bridge between the Mosin-Nagant and the AK-47, its design by Sergei Simonov, and its chambering in 7.62x39mm. The video highlights the SKS's internal magazine fed by stripper clips, its traditional steel-and-wood construction, and features like its rear sight and folding bayonet. Savant also touches on its ease of field-stripping, design similarities to the AK-47, and potential aftermarket modifications like Picatinny rails. He notes its widespread use during the Cold War and its continued affordability for collectors, describing it as a rugged, reliable design.
