Maybe if it was a battlefield digup, of completely unknown source and age, or in some other way questionable, I'd worry. A .22 that's less than a century old and not literally falling apart from rust is not particularly dangerous.

You people severely underestimate the longevity of steel.

fucking thank you

What's your guys' opinion on this? http://henryrepeating.com/rifle-survival-ar7.cfm

I'm thinking of buying a rifle, have around 300 or more depending on if my car sells for the right price. That looked like it would be good for taking camping.

Russian 1950 Tula SKS..about 440ish rounds of 1993 7.62. Then theres a mix of 1970 Russian 7.62 (which I won't shoot) and 10 rounds of Win. ammo. Comes with a scope mount and scope (theres no permanent modifications, no drill tap at all) and a 30 rounder mag which I probably wont use.

Not shabby for $500.

Damn it Spartan, you always have the coolest shit.

shot my first guns yesterday. nighthawk 1911 and USP, both .45s

Went through about 80 rounds

My SKS bolt carrier kept hitting the rail guide on the right side. The first 40 rounds it gave me no trouble. The next 20 just hassled me. So the 61 shot it broke off part of the rail guide cut on the right side of the reciever..I still shot another 40 and it functioned fine..pictures later.

m00kz which one did you like better? The 1911 and USP?

And Tyrant, I had to sell my sniper due to car bills..I made enough money and found this beauty. $500 for ALL of that.

1911 was pretty beastly in comparison and felt sturdier. as I said it was a nighthawk which is apparently a pretty damn good model. Sights were off according to the guys there but even with the USP my shots seem to drift to the left

Why wouldn't you use the 30 round mag? Are you some kind of anti-high capacity gun enthusiast??!

I wouldn't use one on an SKS on principle. If you want an AK, buy a fucking AK. If you can't buy an AK, go somewhere you can.

The 30 rounder doesn't jam in the SKS, but I don't like it either way..gonna sell it.

Also, heres the damaged part of the SKS receiver after a little warping.
