Summary: Good book on fascinating rifle
Comment: I purchased my Norinco SKS when it was dirt cheap in the early '90s. It was just a budget gun for occasional plinking. However, after reading Kehaya and Poyer's book, I really came to appreciate the history behind the SKS and the gun's amazing robustness and functionality. In addition to the minutiae of interest to the collector, there's plenty of practical information on weapon use, care and modification for the non-collector (like me).

Summary: A good choice to learn about your SKS
Comment: Although the usefulness of this book cannot be over stated for the SKS owner, it is in need of revision! With the import of the Romanian SKS variants there is a need to add to this book. Granted most of the information can be infered by reading the Russian sections, there are some differences that could benefit from a new revision. One area this book needs more of is parts compatiblity between models. Not all SKS parts are created equal, and some of the more dangerous examples cry out to be covered. For instance there are at least 4 different types of firing pins, and some of them are not interchangable. I found this book especially helpful with identification, and history of this facinating and occasionally misunderstood firearm. If you have an interest in the SKS you will not regret this purchase. I haven't!

Summary: Another must-have for the serious SKS owner
Comment: While it contains information that has been covered countless times elsewhere (weapon breakdown, cleaning, etc.) this book also contains a wealth of information I have not seen anywhere else: information on how to determine where your SKS came from, information on the various parts and the different versions of parts, what's interchangeable, what's not, etc.
One of the best sections tells you how to inspect an SKS before buying it. I got lucky when I bought my SKS -- I gave it a rather cosmetic going over and later on when I knew what I was doing I realized that I got one in A-1 shape. With this book I would have known for sure long before I put my money down.
