that was going to be my next question.is it true that the saigas wont take traditional high-cap mags.now i know.

what i like about the saigas is that without the pistol grip and wooden furniture they dont look like traditional AK's and wouldnt carry that astigmatism.these would be a SHTF rifle for my family and me should something very rare but serious ever develop and keeping under the radar as much as possible would be a priority for me.the same reason i asked oppinions on which was the least tactical color between black and tan concerning backpack selection {i went with black,non MOLLE}

RECON,

for the record that was very helpful to me and much appreciated.i new they where both very reliable rifles.i assumed the sks would be a bit more accurate with the longer barrel but wasnt sure about its exact operation in comparison with the AK.

would the longer barrel of the sks give it a better velocity/feet-per-second and if it did would it be enough to even matter.

thanks guys.lets all cross our fingers.i've known of those camps for a while and if you think thats scary there's a lot more going on than that.
