This video has been around for about 4 years but I just found it and thought it was definitely worth sharing, I’m a huge fan of Jerry’s and I figured most of y’all that have already seen it are too and would watch it again!

The SKS is one of those guns that I believe everyone should at least shoot once, I haven’t owned one in 20 years but dang it, I think I need one lol!!!!

I guess those little lips at the front of the bolt carrier:

Offhand c zones at 200 like nothing.

I've owned several through the years, and my experience has been the exact opposite.

I’m sorry you have a bad experience, I have had several sks’s and after a good cleaning they have been very reliable and accurate to boot!!!

The only times I have seen them be unreliable was after someone "improved" them. Usually by first changing out the mag with a removable one. In stock form they are usually about as reliable as you can get.

This. I’ve shot the shit out of them over the years, great gun and very handy to have around. Of the 6 or 7 at my house. I’ve never had any kind of failure in any of them
 
I have, but I've managed to make damned near everything I own stop hard at some point.
My SKS is a 1953 Tula all original. It ate a steel hollow point during a match. The nose stuck on the feed ramp, the bolt shoved the case forward, set the proj. back onto the powder, and wedged the cartridge into the action so that I had to drop the magazine to clear it. It happens, but I'm with you - I don't consider the SKS to be a faulty design.
