My uncle (mom's brother-in-law) was a sniper in 'Nam. The story goes, he and his spotter were going back to the base camp after a mission and 4 VC or NVA (don't remember which) were crossing a rice paddy and he spotted a rifle he wanted. Supposedly the 3rd guy in line was carrying it. Gene (my uncle) told his spotter he wanted the rifle. His spotter asked him how he expected to get it and Gene say's "Like this" and opened fire. They went into the paddy and took the rifle. It's a pretty nice gun. I don't know much about SKS's but this one does use AK mags. I don't even think he's ever shot it since he's been home... I do know for a fact that he'd never part with it.
Probably more info than anybody cares about but I think it's a pretty cool story... :neutral:
