Book excerpt: In an age filled with advanced, tech-heavy, synthetic, expensive weapons, one is inclined to believe that for those on a low budget, a semi-automatic rifle of assault rifle quality is by far out of reach. While this is true for weapons like the more hailed AK-47 or AR-15, the SKS-45 is a distinguished exception. Designed by Sergei Simonov in 1943, the rifle was designed to counter the world's first assault rifle, the recently deployed German Sturmgewehr 44, and was used as the general battle rifle for the Red Army until it was phased out by the iconic AK-47 in the early 1950s. The SKS is still used by both the Chinese and Russian honor guards and has served in almost every major war since its creation including Korea and Vietnam. -Learn why the SKS is so coveted, what it does well, and what it does not do well. Learn how to adjust the front sight for windage and elevation, and how to zero it in. -Learn how to field strip the weapon, or do a complete takedown of it. -Learn how to clean the weapon, and how to troubleshoot and clear misfires. Learn how to fix extraction and ejection issues. Become proficient in resolving bolt closing problems. -Finally, learn how this weapon can be made into a poor man's go-to weapon. It is good for knocking around the woods and hunting, and much more... -Learn some tactical drills that will sharpen your shooting skills.
