Why is that Tex?

It is one of the rarer SKS's. Not as rare as a Vietnamese but still pretty rare.

Hi Tex,
OK, you got me, in the context of things that one might swap for an XS400, WTF is an SKS?

An assault rifle.

No ....I had a Chines one that I paid 135.oo for about 10 years ago. Just never did much with it.

It is a semi-automatic CARBINE. An assault rifle is a selective fire weapon.

Good trade.

My bad, I FORGOT the definition.

In a strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:

* It must be an individual weapon with provision to fire from the shoulder (i.e. a buttstock);
* It must be capable of selective fire;
* It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle;
* Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable magazine.

Sorry if I got this thread marked by the government! I've got a cheap Yugo one.
