Also: WHEN'S OUR EPISODE ON THIS GUN COMING OUT?
I'm waiting for the episode on that hand gun "you know which one I mean" to come out.
Farb...
Hey this isn't a funky 1800s repeating shotgun.
oMg No1911?!?!@!IGHJ!LKGN"!!L%TH!LER!
"This one goes to eleven." Love me some Spinal Tap
Russians like to go one step beyond.
Madness!
Don’t point at it, don’t even look at it.
The Anvil episode will be like Nigel’s inventing shed..... (just waiting for the grommets).
Yeah, but this one goes up to 11. You see, they think you're out of bullets but this one goes one more. Eleven, see? It gives you that little bit extra.
Mine is pinned to 5 😔
****Frantically checks to see if C&Rsenal did an SKS Episode without your noticing.****
Me too! I did that before watching this video.
You almost didn't notice loool
SAME!
🤞
Yep. But then im thinking that we are almost out of Small Arms of the Great War.
You’d be hard pressed to find a Canadian farm that doesn’t have at least one SKS sitting in the vault. A couple years ago you could scoop one of these and a 1000 rounds of ammo for under 500 bucks.
Yup, a Canadian favourite. I have a Chinese, want a Russian one eventually
@@paulthiessen6467 I have a 1953 stamped Russian SKS. Next to no rifling is left in it.
The SKS is likely the #1 cause of all boating accidents in the country.
20 years ago you could buy em all day long for $75 US dollars.
@@robertspray7472 what I'd give to see those prices again.
A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Hell yeah!
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
Hello there.

The SKS has basically become the modern Canadian 30-30 for over 30 years now. There was a time when the Winchester model 94 30-30 was replaced by the Lee Enfield .303 British and the Lee Enfield replaced by the SKS 7.62x39. The SKS was so cheap even 20 years ago that guys bought them by the crate. They’ve become the bang around super tough pickup truck gun of Canada. We even have Canadian companies making plenty of accessories for them. You should check them out Mae.
How has the Castrokid stuff wound up working up there. I dont really know any resources that talk about the northern lands.
@Doom its ok they can't have anything else
@Doom you can't carry a firearm for protection or even shoot somewhere in the wilderness
@Doom Canadians definitely have it worse it’s no comparison.
@Doom " Oh man i cant wait to take this rifle from the safe, to the shooting range, then back to the safe it goes eh"
Canadian with a restricted rifle: 2021 colorized
if you listen carefully you can hear the Fedorov Avtomat flipping the table in the background because the SKS cut in line. Dang youngster.
Then you just got the svt 40 sitting back there in the corner silently crying
I'm waiting for Othias to use a poorly cut&pasted clip-art like Fedorov in an episode.
The shooting part can just have them shooting an AK-47. :P
Ah yes, the national rifle of Moose land.
Can confirm, this is an institution in the land of a fucking L E A F.
Also the official rifle of poor college students who can't afford AKs in the US.
Shame they are getting more expensive tho, 10 years ago, I bought mine for 225 canadian $, Now they're selling at close to 500$, crazy how the price skyrocketed!
I wouldn't be surprise to see them go up to 750$ in another 5-10 years... (work in the industry)
Mikhael Beauparlant that’s the sick joke about Canadian firearms laws, they’re trending towards making firearms and shooting the preserve of the rich and elite, soon working and middle class won’t be able to afford guns.
@@andreivaldez2929 funny, I got my Saiga 223 first and then a Yugo SKS while in College...got lucky though, that was before the AK market went bellyup.
"But this one goes to 11" Best line ever!!!
7-9 is recommended, it tends to double bang otherwise, this, however is individual 'feature'.
@@sergeykoshelev4566 double bang? Clean that firing pin channel and don't use soft commercial primers.
In Canada 🇨🇦, the only go to five.
🙈
It must be the gun 'spinal tap' would use....
@@sergeykoshelev4566 But I like to double bang.
Hope this means a full length episode will be in the works soon.
as do I
Someone must've pulled a "Guns of the South" and brought SKS's to the Great War.
Guns of the Sudetenland.
HOW DARE YOU MENTION THAT RACIST BOOK
There are already semiauto rifles in the Great War with the RSC M1917 and M1918 rifles from France and the Mondragon...
That was helluva book. It spawned a great series afterwards too. I've read them all.
@@WasatchGarandMan i mean, the people who made the inciting incident probably were proud racist assholes.
"Most guns I do for this series, it's easy to track down their service history, but I'm going to be honest, I can't find ANY hard proof that this gun served in the war." -Othais on the SKS I imagine.
Well small numbers of the prototype was fielded by the Soviets in the late days of the battle of Berlin. modernfirearms.net/en/military-rifles/self-loading-rifles/russia-self-loading-rifles/simonov-sks-eng/ It was formally adopted by the Red Army in 1949 but was eclipsed by the rifle designed by some guy named Kalashnikov.
@@michaelfodor6280 dont forget about their service in Vietnam too.
@@boywhohasl1vedhascometodie469 They saw some use in the Korean War, although the Mosin-Nagant bolt action in various models was the main rifle on the Communist side.
@@michaelfodor6280 небольшая неточность, - не в Красной армии а в Советской армии. Красная армия была переименована в 1946 году в Советскую армию
The vietcong and the Vietminh both used this rifle.
Really surprising to see an SKS on C&Rsenal, but definitely one of my favorite surplus rifles of all time. I've had my Yugo almost 20 years and it's still fun to take out and fire. Like Mae mentioned, I love that weird combo of the fixed magazine, intermediate cartridge, and longer barrel.
I have rifles from WW1 and 2, bolt and semiauto, a Mini 14 and ARs... But the one that I like to fire the most, is the SKS. 2nd place would be the Winchester M1917.
It is my supreme hope that you guys will be able to one day get far enough in time to cover the Cold War era of firearms.
That's pretty much InRange though
I loved AoT: the 40th day
@@marco8414 Their coverage is not in nearly the same way Othais and Mae do.
I don't know how modern you will get for full episodes, last I heard Othais had copyright concerns over the images etc they use.
But they did state that they will basically do whatever they want after WWI so you will probably have firearms of different eras all mixed together.
@Doom Yeah, we'll likely get multiple playlists and the show will jump around.
@@marco8414 InRange has very little to do with c&rsenal. Though it is good, it really only looks at the practicality of weapons.
I bought one of these from Cabela's here in Canada for $349.00 CAD.
I wound up getting one with a very poor stock, cosmetically speaking,
When I took it apart, I saw the barrel had been recently replaced with one that read _Made in Russia,_ written in English.
That meant it was rebuilt specifically for the export market and was absolutely pristine.
Crude, robust, effective.
What's not to like?
🙂
Yeah, and the gun is nice too!
Sweet I'd love to see a C&R on this.
Me too brother, this is definitely one of my favorites.
The fact your sks goes all the way to 11 is just another reason why I love you, Mae.
"It's supposed to have a 10 round compacity, but mine goes to 11!" My new all time favorite flex!
Used to be you could get 20rd Chicom mag boxes for them for ~$10 iirc? Of course, doubling the glacial reload time from the extremely clunky stripper clips [fwiw, I've never gotten my skS to feed smoothly in one stroke; it's always been "push three, push three, push two, push two" to get the darn things thru the clip & into the box] is pretty pointless, so I don't think they ever sold in great numbers. And I certainly couldn't get one here behind the Granola Curtain after our over 10-rd mag ban went into effect 20 years ago...
@@nunyabidniz2868 My SKS just glides the ammo in like it's nothing. Of course having the best clips ever really helps. Czech BXNs
I just discovered the "Minute of Mae" videos! Normally I only come to this channel when im ready for some really long in depth stuff but this "minute of mae" stuff rocks. Great shows!
At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the Dupont hand trap on a Minute of Mae
Love the smile at the ending. Pure joy. You can tell for sure this is one of Mae's favourite rifles !! :-) Well done.
Damn , the Great War lasted a very long time , uh ? .
Side note: I always loved the aesthetics of the "war continued into the '20s" thing that people do, with steam punk, modernized versions of WWI weapons. Always thought they looked cool, even if they may not work in reality (with hindsight I can see some not being functional firearms).
@@andreivaldez2929 Some, like me, think of there having been a single World War that started in 1914 and ended with the fall of the Berlin wall.
It's just in halftime right now
@@wlewisiii Some may argue the Great War never really ended with the Middle East continuing to destroy itself and dragging everyone with them
THANK YOU! My first love! Full episode pretty please!
Always thought that if the SKS was designed 10 years earlier it would be considered one of the best rifles of all time.
Seems like the tilting bolts fell out of favor. I have never seen an explanation why.
If you guys do a full primer on the SKS, it will make me very happy.
I love my SKS and she's almost 60 years old!
I have a 1953 Russian made SKS one of the best shooting guns I own
Somehow, I never realized these rifles were so large--definitely looks the part of a battle rifle. Looks like a dream to shoot, too
Love these rifles! One of my favorites, only behind the M-1 carbine. Through trial and error found mine did not like Russian ammo, but LOVED Winchester white box rounds. There were several of us who owned them and the running gag was the ejected casings we're as dangerous as the fired round.
Love how she always smiles at the end.
"Long, albeit secondary, service life..." You ain't kidding about that. The Yugos had them in inventory right up to the end as a primary arm of their militia system (as a precaution against a possible Eastern Bloc invasion) and they were used by both sides during the Balkan conflicts. The SKS is a damn near perfect insurgent's rifle, you don't even have to worry about resupplying mags .
Not meaning to seem overly familiar or anything of the sort, but your smile really makes my day.
She does convey the blissful exuberance of having shot a tight group well, doesn't she?
@@nunyabidniz2868 Most assuredly.
Kevin's reaction in the Gyro Pigeon thumbnail accurately describes my excitement here!!!
A very nice moment on a very nice gun. Thank you again, Mae!
Does this mean you’re starting to do stuff from the Second World War??
I wouldn't read too much into it. They did an entire video on the "anti-aircraft sights" of the Type 99 Arisaka a LOOONNGGG time ago and they still haven't even done a specific video on the Type 99.
SKS's are all over east Texas, decent deer gun in the piney woods and back in the 1990's they were selling for $50-$75, a 900 round crate of ammo cost $50.
What a deal.
One of my personal favorites too. Grew up shooting this rifle, begging my grandfather to let us take it to the range. I liked it even better than the AR. The bolt was always a little bit stiff.
I just got a Yugo 59/66, so this video is pretty well timed.
In fact, the sks also served for a long time in the Soviet army, until the end of the 80s it was in service with the air defense troops, as well as engineering units, support units - where the conduct of firearms was not the main task. My father served in the air defense in the 89-90s and had a sks
Your smile after a magazine outa an sks was priceless 😁👍 good vid
Mae, you're awesome!
Mine is a Norinco with a 20rd fixed. Everything she says is on point . You don't even need a bullet to field strip. Cleaning rod will work to remove the trigger group
AIlways love the smile at the end.
Best SKS video to date. Thanks from moose and maple syrup land.
So cool!! Thanks Mae!
My personal favorite part about the SKS is how every part needed by the shooter is not readily detached and lost. The SKS is to me the premier hunting rifle too, as all you need to do in Florida is to simply remove the bayonet (you can keep the lug!), and boom a legal and highly effective rifle for practically every type of game in FL. I also seem to have lots of luck with specialty ammo too, as I use TulAmmo softpoints for hunting and no hangups!
That smile at the end always gets me
Hands down my favorite rifle.
My gunsmith keeps threatening to build an SKS in 5.45x39. How cool would that be?
@@dbmail545 “Threatening”
Could this be a sign of things to come? Or just having some fun? Either way so cool to see Mae shooting something even slightly more modern
C&Rsenal: Uploads post bleeding edge WW2 carbine
Me: A BLESSING FROM THE LORD!
I love this rifle. My favorite range companion. Cheers from Poland. :)
Wow....another pleasant surprise. Kinda miss the target reference at the end as in the Primer episodes.
Surprise SKS! Now I want to see minutes with rest of the personal guns...especially the Keltec Sub2000 and the Shield.
Love the SKS, highly underrated.👍🏼 🇨🇳
11 round capacity? Ah yes, the rare Spinal Tap edition! Highly collectable.
The mini before Ruger made the mini. Congress had to ban their ammo to make the mini-14 competitive.
Finally! One that I own 😂
i have a SKS-M that lives side my bed with a 30 round mag snapped in place. it makes me feel warm and fuzzy when i am at rest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And in Canada ours are pinned to 5 :(
I'm always surprised at how svelt and handy the SKS is... Wish I could say the same about some ladies I know.
I find it a bit heavy but that's how I like em
I for one am excited for y'all to move into more "modern" stuff. Designs become more interesting and lots of variations of stuff especially when we start talking about machine guns.
Mae's goes to 11......cool. I've watched a lot of your videos for vintage full autos but the SKS is my favorite in my cabinet. This video got me in the feels
I like the subtle reference to Spinal Tap!
Honestly i'd love one of your full length episodes on the SKS or any newer WWII weapon for that matter. I've binged virtually all of the WWI Primers and go back and revisit my favorites every couple of days. But only having a very few of the types of firearms used in WWI myself I have a far greater collection of WWII weapons. And while the WWII weapons are covered to great volume here in UA-cam nobody covers the history and development of individual firearms quite as well as you guys do. Especially including all countries and variants involved.
One of my personal favorites too!
Why does i loves this so much? properly entertaining is it ?
Mae is slowly making her way into the 20th century and I can't wait to see more!
In a fascinating turn of events, C&Rsenal decided to cover BF1.
Oh wow, this is a treat! WW1 is cool but it’s nice to see something new, especially early Cold War/late WW2 stuff like the SKS.
I think branching out from exclusively firearms already covered in Primer is a great direction for the MinMaes to take.
Othais: And war were declared...
Mae: Which war?
Balkan Wars
I bought mine in '87' for $143 dollars from a gun shop in town. Came in a box with a canvas bandolier, green plastic oil can and the bayonet is the 'pig sticker' type which is great to use as a mono-pod. Brought it home after stopping at the local video store and it took the whole movie of Cheech & Chongs 'Nice Dreams' to clean all the cosmoline off (funny how you remember shit like that). One of the best shooting guns I have!
One of my favorites to shoot. My wife (who’s not into guns at all) even enjoys it!
Great video, the SKS is one of my all time favorites :) Little side note though, the SKS certainly wan't secondary to the Chinese! The Type 56 carbine was the most common rifle of the Peoples Liberation Army quite a while.
I’m so confused seeing an SKS on this channel, but having a Yugoslav example of the type myself, I’m all for it! I hope there’s a Primer episode for the SKS eventually!
With duckbill magazines or fixed. It's still a good home /civil guard rifle .
Gotta love the big grin at the end!😎
I'm personally pretty hyped to see you guys move to some different eras of firearms. Id love to see some WWII stuff or maybe pre WWI
That smile at the end says it all
I got one. It's passed back and forth between my brother and me half a dozen times in the last 25 years or so! He paid like 95 or 100 bucks for it. Shoots like a champ! Accurate, reliable...just love it!
Ahh, yes! One of the classic ones. The way she exale in the beginning is part of a true marksman.
Got me all excited!
I'm stoked for this episode!
One of these things is not like the others, lol. Glad this series is being continued!
Mae's smile after shooting is the most adorable thing i've seen all day
Never realized how much the frontend looks like that of an AK. Learning with every vid!
Nothing brings greater joy than seeing Mae smile after firing a firearm 👍
Nice “Spinal Tap” reference
The "Minute of" format is brilliant and I personally would love to follow YOUR channel doing this with virtually any and every gun, service, non-service and especially reviewing all the modern and commercially available guns. although there are lots of channels that review new guns they're in love with the sound of their own voice, run on forever and lack a the consistent, concise and informative format you've developed. Thank you for doing this. And if people have a problem with C&R arsenal branching past WW1 .. like I said.. please just start a new brand for 'minute of Mae' and go with literally anything and everything that strikes your fancy to shoot. (also , you're absolutely right about the SKS.. never thought of it that way before but as the last stripper clip fed service rifle there is a LOT of lineage that makes this 'last of the old breed, first of the new')
A love this video!!
Literally my favorite rifle bought mine for 375 flat at a gun show in 2019 dam thing just keeps on going
I remember when I was a kid Shotgun News had these for like $90. Now I am seeing them at $500 plus and I still want one.
I would, indeed, like to know more, when is the Primer? You can't just tease us like that Mae!
One of my favorites as well Mae. The one I now own is a new in the box Norinco, purchased when you could still buy one for around $100.00. I like it better than the AK.
god damn that smile at the end was fucking adorable
Woah! Damn! Cool vid! Nice to see you're expanding now!
Such a perfect episode!!!
I hope this kicks off a Guns of the Cold War. You have no idea how much I like this idea.
Well done again Mae!
Hold on, let me go get my SKS and stroke it lovingly while watching this video.
_"Is one of my personal favorites."_
Aw, that was lovely.
I remember seeing one of these when I was a kid, it was for sale at a privately owned “convenient store”
I always loved the way it looked.
