Re: [Practical_Carbine] Re: AK Vs SKS (was Digest Number 425)

I sold my 2 SKS a while back but still have 3 cases of ammo. (2) 1200 rds.
and (1) 1400 rds. They are the steel core and the 1400 is in two spam cans.
I would like to get $100./ K. If in Utah or Las Vegas NV could work out
delivery. Possible trades.
