From the Vault: A Dive into the History of the Russian SKS
🔍 From the Vault: A Dive into the History of the Russian SKS
🎥 In this episode of "From the Vault," we explore the fascinating history of the Russian SKS (Samozaryadny Karabin sistemy Simonova), a semi-automatic carbine that played a pivotal role in post-WWII Soviet military development.
🔫 Designed by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in 1945, the SKS bridged the gap between bolt-action rifles and the fully-automatic Kalashnikovs that would follow. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, it featured a simple, rugged design with a fixed 10-round magazine, integral bayonet, and wood stock, making it both practical and reliable for Soviet soldiers.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas you filthy animal keep the change
Great video. Love those SP1s. Thoughts on the forward assist? Essential or not?
I am with Stoener on this one. I do not think it is essential. If it will not go into battery there is a reason for it and forcing it compounds the problem
Missing a cigar and a suit sir
That is fair! I will have to rectify that haha
This was the actual go-to automatic weapon for the mafia. Not the Thompson.
Good job. Have you taken the fire control unit (FCI in Ruger speak) out of the frame yet?
I did not but Alex did! It is not as easy as Sig but not a lot harder
The Russian army found an underground weapons cash in Ukraine full of crates of Tampons from WWII
What you need is a video you testing it in various distances... not a narration only vid.
Wish we had a place local we could do that!
I hope we can one day aquire land to do that
Great video, Austin!
Nice pistol, you need a luger.
@@mrbill5834 yes we do! We need to get one to walk through here so I can keep it haha
The designation of the Lithgow, pronounced Lith-go is a No 1 Mk 3 & the Savage is a No 4 Mk1. All very nice rifles.
Bolt ain’t original to the gun but good find
Jolly good, lad.
Misspoke in the video very sorry I usually catch it in post production but missed it this time. The bolt isn't spring assisted it's cock on close
Thankful for the wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring staff at 2 if by Sea.
The bolt is cock on close, not spring assisted, just pull the trigger and the tension goes away and will not fly open. There are numbers and marks plus stars, they all mean certain things and are not interchangeable. Get the nomenclature right and please put out an update. Historical things need correct information and not mythical misinformation. Plus these were used in real life not some game. I don't mean to cast aspersions but please understand collectors and history buffs like accurate info.
@JamesThomas-gg6il hey you are right there my bad misspoke in the bolt I usually catch that stuff on editing but missed it here my bad in that. As far as video games go this is a good thing for the firearms world in general finally getting a younger generation interested in collecting while yes it was used in real life cool thing is they are getting introduced in a new medium which while at times flawed is still awesome to see. Appreciate you watching the video!
Getting good at this stuff, man. Great video. Love the new opening
We are trying to be like you guys!

Great Rifle and cool history!
@@AEGISDEFENSE one of my family heirlooms
What makes it very percussion cap
@JamesJohnsen-s5s I might have misspoke haha just a percussion cap rifle
The British bought a BUNCH of Thompsons, but although they liked the gun itself, they were EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, and were replaced by the STEN - which only cost them the equivalent of $9 each to produce - compared to the $150+ for the Tommy Gun. Unlike the complicated machine work that the Thompson needed, except for the Breech Block, the Barrel and a spring - almost every part of a Sten is stamped sheet metal, and VERY quick and easy to produce.
Lots of these ended up in the IRA. Still are there. There has been a long history of American Guns ending up in IRA hands. Ethiopia also got a bunch of these post war. I would be shocked if these were not being used in Ukraine now given the vast amount of weaponary being used there
You call that little thing a hand cannon? Great video guys!
🔫
😂🇺🇸💪 hell ya
We are having fun
Beautiful weapon, love the content keep it up!!
@@kccarpenter3399 its a great weapon
Before Nazi occupation of Hungary, these were issued to both Hungarian police and army. They are distinguished by different proof marks. Also of note, the barrel can be removed without removing the slide (note the two notches on the slide). Frommer designed this pistol, but died shortly before it went into production.
The original was 9x17 or .380 acp. The Luftwaffe version is 7.65 or .32 acp.
@markmueller5508 they sure are cool pistols glad to have one to review! Yes the barrel is very easily removable
Great piece. Love those Cheetahs. Got a couple 84s and an 81. (PS, get that sound worked out, homie)
@christophereger1053 I'm playing with the sound this week I don't understand what happened
I just picked up the sibling 37M which is chambered in .380 ACP! Nice vid!
@domi4531 these are sweet guns very smooth awesome peice!
Great piece, Austin

Bought a Type 38 Carbine awhile ago and was able to find ammo for it. Shoots nice and very light and easy to handle. Picked it up from Ahlmans Gun Shop over in Morristown, MN.
@@Strigon01 such cool rifles
Nice one, Austin.
I purchased my Model 12 Winchester at a pawnshop in Kansas when I was 16, in 1961! I paid $67.67 for it and wouldn't sell it for any price! It has a 30 inch tight full choke and a straight stock and the multi-grooved forearm. I was told the stock was a trap stock, but to me it looked like a 30-30 stock! I've done well in a lot of trap shoots, but I prefer to use it for hunting. It's put a lot of meat on the table over the years! There were a little over half a million Model 12s made before this one! I edited this to say these shotguns had a 2 3/4" chamber! People that get in trouble with them try to shoot 3" or 3 1/2" shells in them! They will easily handle any 2 3/4" magnum loads, but don't try to shoot the longer shells in them! For the same reason you wouldn't want to force a .357 magnum cartridge into a 38 special! You will ruin gun!!
@@kenfrutiger2471 they are one of the nicest and smoothest shotguns
Unless it's a Model 12 heavy duck. Those will shoot 3" shells.
@@kenfrutiger2471 exactly
Winchester didn't try to advance the field of semi-auto firearms, these two rifles evolved in a panic from the Model 1903 which in itself was their response to Browning's sale of the patent that became the Remington 8. They dropped the ball and thus could not break Browning's patent of such niceties as a charging handle! They sold abysimally and so, as a consequence are very rare... for example, Winchester sold more Model 1894's in one year (1948) then they sold of ALL of the 1905/7/10's in over 50 years of production.

If gold was 28$ a ounce and they made made +- 450$ a year they could buy 16 ounces of gold in todays money that would be 2600$ at current price plus minus x 16= 41.600$ (there was no income tax or or or or what u made is what earned no taxes involved)..........I guess gold and the price of gun held up well vs 2024 but the dollar is sinking is ship... (i am from Europe and i love Browning guns alot i own a few here in the Netherlands)
Awesome to see we fans across the sea

I know wish they would change the rules
I’m messing with u…gotta play by the rules!
I don’t understand slower to load? I don’t load one round at a time.
@@georgedykes5533 it is slower to reload in comparison to the competition of the time
I have the carbine version of this and I love it.
@@georgedykes5533 those are really cool need to get one for my collection
The 1901 Buffington sight in sharpshooting competition, the iconic bayonets, ammunition rarity, single lug smooth action. The inscription was too dark to see. Thanks for redoing my favorite topic on UA-cam. It was very appropriate
Good video. The audio is mono but the content is on point
@@christophereger1053 I will have to work on that
Very solidly done. I love your presentation. Solid sub from me, one gun channel to another.
@@theblindsniper9130 thanks! We have more to come
Austin when you open up the range in new prague would you consider also opening a cafe eatery within the range/shop?
@marvd1887 so unfortunately no. The requirements with FDA due to lead use in the facility make this pretty hard to do. We will do food trucks though on the weekend in the summer fall is our plan!
What kind of shells are they hunting with? I’ve heard no steel except for modern shotguns. Although at what year they become “modern” hasn’t been made clear. Can they handle buck? 00 shot? #4 shot? I’ve heard that a magnum can blow it apart. Unfortunately there’s no breakdown accept for thousands of opinions on old forums, no videos. Maybe you should make one.
Also I’d like to add that I remember someone asking a similar question. He said hit shotgun was made in the 50’s and considered that modern??? But the technology in the shotgun was 100 years old. It’s so confusing
@@ssholed This a great question! So these were designed with Lead Shot in mind. 00 Buck would probably hurt this gun due to its age. You are correct there though that the were not built with modern powder and shot size loads in mind. As far as hunting some states still allow Lead Shot to be used. However, right now on Federal Land it is mandated as steel shot only. It would be awesome to have all this stuff in one location for sure as far as info but that is a huge undertaking. It would be something we could look into if given the staff and time for sure. As far as the shotguns being called "Modern" I personally break it down this way, for this Model 12 I would say it features many "Modern Designs" we still enjoy today on our shotguns, however this gun itself is a Curio & Relic and a Collector type firearm. I would highlight that to demonstrate a lot of our most "modern" guns are not that dismilar funcunality wise from those in the past. A lot of the upgrades are cosmetic or fine tuning older designs if that makes sense. This is all confusing stuff and hard to keep up with for sure haha
Nice history, but sell one of your guns and buy a new video camera
We actually did purchase a new one for our channel! We have been upgrading our stuff when we can! Pretty excited to use it on our next batch of videos in September!
The 2A had the 2000 meter graduated sight and a 10 round magazine. The 2A1 had the 800 meter sight and a 12 (twelve) round magazine. My 2A1 was manufactured in 74. Great video.
Great history, thank you.
Nice Shirt!
