Bob Dunlap teaches this course on the Russian designed, and German StG 44 inspired, SKS semi automatic carbine. Designed in conjunction with its 7.62x39 ammunition, also inspired by the Germans’ 7.92x33 (8mm Kurtz or “Short”) cartridge, the SKS was the first Russian “Assault Rifle”. Produced by the millions and still in service in many parts of the world, this gun saw extensive use in both the Russian and Chinese versions in Vietnam. A cut-away gun is used so that you can actually see the operation and relationship of the internal parts. If you want the “quick” course on how to get the venerable Simonov carbine apart, back together, and operating as intended, then this course is for you.
