Even lefty window lickers arnt that dumb.

Thats the type of POS that you trade in to the cops for a walmart gift card, Not to save the world but because you'd be money ahead. :flipoff2:

I dunno, go spend some time on gun subreddits on Reddit and you'll see plenty stupid shit like that. Sprinkle in a but of schizophrenia and delusions of grandeur like this guy seems to have and it's certainly plausible.

There were CA compliant Chinese Norinco NIB SKS at The Sacramento Armory Store on J street, Sacramento for $59 in 1994. I almost bought one off a pallet floor stack but really didn't see any use for it. My coworker bought one, a total and complete non shooter and was able to keep cheap crap over the counter ammo on about a 4-inch group at 100 yards (Edit: probably was the 50-yard range) off sandbags. Issue iron sights, Dillman range, Lincoln, CA. A few clicks and the group was over the bullseye. These were wood stock and had a fixed 5-round magazine. A very very effective weapon of war for what they were designed and intended for. A 50 yard shot with irons is a kill shot if the body mass center is the target. I know you all know but it bears repeating.
 
I fail to see how the round was going to eject, or even the bolt even cycle with the scope jammed on top of it?

bolt handle don't go that far back
extractor is on the side of the bolt, it doesn't eject up, most sks sight setups avoid covering the top just for stripper clip clearance

Rounds in my sks ejected straight up and slightly forward and to the right. The whole front of the scope is apparently smashed down onto the bolt or looks that way at least in that photo
 
I laughed out loud when I saw the potato pic of the "AK"...fucking bubba'd SKS...what a fuckin joke...I mean shit, ANY $400 big box store cheap assed rifle/scope combo package will shoot circles around a cobbled up mess like that, yet that's what we are supposed to beleive a "sniper" would use...:lmao:
It's almost a comedy at this point.

don't worry he played a bunch of call of duty
 
I could be really far off base, but are we sure he didn’t tape them so they were black and not as shiny? I don’t know the guns that well or how they look with everything done correctly, but it almost looks like he was trying to hide anything shiny with shinyish black tape?

That was probably a thought that dumbass had but its still a garbage setup.

Theres no way to zero that and keep it consistent. It looks like if he tried to shoot at the pin on the 4th green he'd hit a goose flying south for the winter a few blocks over by accident. :homer:

Now that the pictures are floating around someone's probably gonna find a way to build one that does hold a zero as a joke, kind of like the shovel AK or milling a rail on the side of a pistol.

The rifle left at the scene was an SKS with an aftermarket stock and an aftermarket extended magazine. Only 11 rounds of 7.62×39 ammunition, with brown lacquered steel cases, were found in the rifle at the scene. The mounting of the scope on the rifle was unusual for the United States. It was clamped onto the dust cover with clamps that extended completely around the rifle. This is said to be a common method of attaching a telescopic sight to an SKS in the Middle East.​

Yep, my first non 22LR rifle was a $129 SKS. It was all tacticool and had a scope. The bottom of the scope was beat to hell from the rounds hitting it.

My BIL’s dad bought like 4 of those off a pallet at a gun show in Albuquerque about that time. They shot one one time and it was a POS so later sold all of them for a profit when the price of guns went crazy during the Obama years.
 
Like a lot of military weapons they were loaded with nasty thick cosmoline. Nothing really like it if you have only bought commercial stuff. Pretty hard to get that weapon not to bang cycle and feed. Another thought. All I could find on the web was that one pic as shown above. Does anyone else have trouble believing that anyone could be that naive to think that scope would do anything but shoot a miss ?

Secret Service agent in Trump assassination attempt had to call toll-free helpline for drone instructions​

September 25, 2024 | Chris Donaldson | Print Article

The preliminary Senate committee report on the first failed assassination attempt on Republican nominee Donald J. Trump is out and as expected, it details a myriad of shocking Secret Service failures.
On July 13, Trump narrowly missed having his head blown off on live television at a rally in Butler, PA when those whose job it was to protect him dropped the ball, inexplicably allowing a sniper to position himself on a rooftop around 150 yards from the stage with a clear line of sight on the former president.
According to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs report, the Secret Service agent who was responsible for flying a surveillance drone at the Butler Farm Show grounds was so unfamiliar with the equipment that he had to call a toll-free number for assistance with the unmanned aerial device.


The summary findings which were released on Wednesday revealed that the agent only had one hour of “informal training” with the drone, according to Fox News.
“Multiple foreseeable and preventable planning and operational failures by USSS contributed to [Thomas] Crooks’ ability to carry out the assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13,” reads the report. “These included unclear roles and responsibilities, insufficient coordination with state and local law enforcement, the lack of effective communications, and inoperable C-UAS systems, among many others.”

Agents from Trump’s Secret Service detail and the Pittsburgh field office testified that neither was aware that 27 minutes before the failed attempt the “Secret Service’s security room and counter-sniper team was informed that a suspicious person had been spotted near the AGR building with a range finder; the shooter eventually took position on the roof of that building,” Fox News reported.
“Shortly before shots were fired, a USSS counter sniper saw local law enforcement running toward the AGR building with their guns drawn, but he did not alert former President Trump’s protective detail to remove him from the stage,” according to the 94-page report.”The USSS counter sniper told the Committee that while seeing officers with their guns drawn ‘elevated’ the threat level, the thought to notify someone to get Trump off the stage ‘did not cross [his] mind.’”
There are expressed concerns by local law enforcement days before the rally about the building where Crooks was allowed to set up for his shot that grazed Trump but the rooftop remained inexplicably unsecured.
Additional resources including drone equipment were requested by advance agents on the former president’s detail but they weren’t provided. The bipartisan committee found, “These requests were denied, at times without explanation.”


The 94-page interim report cited numerous failures that led to what would have been the first successful assassination of a major party candidate since Bobby Kennedy was killed in 1968 before he could secure the Democratic Party nomination.
“Every single one of these actions is directly related to a failure in the U.S. Secret Service’s planning, communications, intelligence sharing, and law enforcement coordination efforts,” Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), the committee’s chairman told reporters on Tuesday. “Every single one of those failures was preventable, and the consequences of those failures were dire.”
The Secret Service was able to foil a second assassination attempt on Trump earlier this month when an eagle-eyed agent spotted the barrel of a gun belonging to would-be assassin Ryan Routh protruding from a fence where he was preparing to shoot the Republican nominee on a fairway at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, FL.
