SKS crown

[Rimfire123]

SKS Experts,

Crown of this SKS look OK? it's not beaten up right?

Please advice.

thanks

I would give it 6 out of 10, with 10 being pristine. Am I too generous? It does look rough. How does it shoot?

[Rimfire123]

I didn't shoot it yet, bore is nice and shinny with strong rifling.

is it that bad?

[bohoki]

it looks better than most


i mean come on you are probably going to shoot various russian stuff which is all over the map in bullet weight with a trigger than is harder to pull than a firealarm

and i dont know you but i'm betting you aren't exactly carlos hathcock

and you are worrying about the crown heck i bet a person could chop off the tip with an acetylene torch and it would shoot just about as good

[SKSDan]

If the bores not cromed recrowning should be fairly simple. The crome tends to be hard and chip

[Gutz]

I say you shoot it and enjoy it. Mine's not that bad, but shoots well.

[mls343]

Shoot it. Should be no problemo.

[Rimfire123]

How bad is it? Bad, fair, good etc

[Crusader]

I would call it fair. My ChiCom looks like the muzzle was used as a sledgehammer and it still shoots under 3 MOA with decent ammo.

Recrown

i thought mine was pretty bad with a few dings buyt yours looks a little more damaged i think. Shoot it and test it out if your not happy with it you can sell it to me for a cheap price (with the crown damage and all lol). I thought mine would not shoot well but it actaually shoots pretty straight. When i got mine i also did not know anything about guns.

Shoot it, if you don't like it you can recrown it yourself with a electric drill, roundhead brass screw and lapping compound. Even a Dremel tool with a ball type stone mounted.
