Heh, that was due to "requires minimal cleaning and maintenance" was hyped as "never needs cleaning and maintenance" and no one bothered looking after their weapons. The US Army had to release a booklet on maintenance PDQ and get it out to the troops.
And WTF is a bus hamster?

Minimal?!?! I wouldn't call the required cleaning for an AR anything close to "minimal"... An SKS... Now that's a gun that requires minimal cleaning and goes bang everytime! I luurrve my SKS's...

From what I read, they reckoned it only required minimal cleaning. Never owned a snap-happy lincoln toy so I wouldn't know.Minimal?!?!

Can't disagree on the SKS, beautiful weapon.

Yup. Would have bought it there an them because they told me they could have done a deal a deal which would have been only $100 more including scope, but they only had left handed ones
Also it was the choice of between this on a Ruger 10/22 with a fully surpressed barrell, but this has style

Enjoy! I'll have to see if any of the gun dealers hereabouts stock them and have a closer look.Yup. Would have bought it there an them because they told me they could have done a deal a deal which would have been only $100 more including scope, but they only had left handed ones

Yea, not sure how they shoot though.
They looked nulky and uncomfortable, but in the shoulder they feel great. Personal preference though but if you are ever down this way, I would be happy if you wanted to test fire one

Already told SDU in another thread - I doubt my little bike has enough grunt to jump the straight even with a "run-up" from Hamilton to Wellington...Yea, not sure how they shoot though.

'Lincoln' toy it may be but the M16 shoots rings around the SKS when it comes to fast accurate follow-up shots.
I've used both, still have an SKS.

Heh heh. And I didn't even have to make remarks about Harleys...'Lincoln' toy it may be but the M16 shoots rings around the SKS when it comes to fast accurate follow-up shots.
I found the M16 I held to be too light - didn't feel "substantial" enough. Odd, as being light it would be less hassle to lug around the bush, but I prefer a heavier rifle (just not as heavy as my old Mosin-Nagant or a fully-wooded SMLE)
What's the recoil like, given how light it is?
