So what about rechambering the K31 to .308? Is it
commonly done, maybe sporterized K31s rechambered & ready
to go?

I like the SKS too but worry about a good supply of ammo.

Say what you want about commie rifles but the SKS is
probably the most fun plinker in the world! Ton of
cool-looking accessories and upgrades available cheap.
Next to no recoil. Nice accuracy. Plus has the advantage
of being below the radar among Weasel's pals. Just get the
large fixed magazine and forget the removable mag adapters
that work for crap anyway and all those laws passed to
"get" the "nasty and fearsome" "weapon of choice for
criminals" the "AK-47" don't apply. And ammo could be a
problem when Weasel's pals stopped all the massive imports
of guns and stuff. OF course that time it was REPUB
leftists doing the banning.

My view is that for some "real" shooting you'd want a
"real" rifle. Something in .308, I presume.

I'm thinking .22 long rifle. The rifles are abundant and
inexpensive and so's the ammunition, or it used to be. My
grandfather gave me a nickel-plated Remington bolt-action
tube-loader that I could hit pretty well with. I like iron
sights & think I still have my far vision.

I like the SKS alot but a rifle without ammo is just a club,
and I already have a good club.

I'd suggest the
H&K 91/G3. Small and light (for what it is). Totally
reliable. Weird but light recoil. And a world standard.
Most other stuff is either heavy as hell or beats the crap
out of you like an M14. Just one minor downside: Price!
But hey, this is AMERICA Expensive guns are a way of life!

Not for me.

Thanks.
