I caught the itch again.....
I would like a semi auto military style rifle. No real use other than it being fun.
What I have found is a Chicom SKS with a cracked stock at jg sales for $280 or so. I'd tapco it out and keep the 10 rd fixed.
Or I can get a plastic lower for $150, a ptac or PSA upper for $180 and a charging handle/ BC for $100 or so.
I know that the ar build would be cheapest of the cheap, but all of the reviews I have read say the components individually work well. And it would be a light rifle.
I like soviet stuff, both of my mosins are rock solid, but the fun of the ar platform is in the build.
What would you do and why?
