You can't beat those SKS's!!! I have one and they are a hoot-to-shoot! If you don't have at least 1000 rounds you may be out guned, remember you said you live in Texas!! lol Happy shooting! Hollar if you need back up, will be glad to shoot from the east and catch them in a crossfire!! ha ha ha
I'd rather see a rust bucket on the road, than a garage queen anytime!!
