SKSs generally sell for $275ish all the way up to $400. They do not fire Mosin Nagant ammo (7.62x54R), they fire the same ammo as the AK-47 though (7.62x39).

Can’t knock red furniture on an AK:  
One of these days I need to take better shots of each of my guns.

Personally both are overkill unless you’re looking to send a lead slug downrange past ~175yds with accuracy. Murder on the shoulder, but then the hot rounds I have loaded in 2.75" variants are no joke either so I’m not one to complain.

thanks, so he meant to say 870 super mag then, just had me confused. Ive shot 3.5" slugs out of mine a few times, not the most fun thing to do :lol Use it as my deer gun as well, I shoot 2 3/4 regular sabots with a rifled barrel its pretty damn accurate at 70 yards.

Yes sorry, the correct name is the Super Mag for the Remington 870.

But I think its a great setup for Turkey, good at short range as long as you are accurate, and it also reaches out when you need to take those long shots in the field.

I wouldn’t call it overkill at all, at least in my experience.

The angled fore grip on my AR is awesome to shoot with. I have shot with the vertical grip on the USC yet, but I like just about anything Magpul makes as far as quality and fit goes.

It’s technically not a foregrip, but a sill rest or wedge. Essentially a low profile monopod. Foregrips are great for CQC where you need to maintain control over the rifle in the event of a tussle, but they actually degrade accuracy in most open scenarios.

H&K still looks completely badass with one on though :lol, and the benelli is still my favorite of your bunch of party poppers.

My goal is to have all 19 firearms exclusively listed on the 1994 Assault Weapons ban. At some point an original Interdynamics KG99 would be the perfect addition to my collection, but those are hard to come by and go for quite a bit now

Old surplus Ammo is the best.  
I had some old corrosive Czech 7.62X39 that was from the 70’s that shot great.
