Get Your SKS Parts at Sarco, Inc.

The SKS rifle has developed a loyal following in many circles for a number of reasons. There are those who don’t appreciate some of the limits of wooden stock and other elements of the older platform, but for a number of reasons the SKS rifle is just a service rifle that refuses to go away. 

There are those who can’t get enough of that fact that it has seen so much widespread military service around the world. Although it was developed too late in the Second World War to see any practical use during it, it became a standard issue in the Russian Military in the wake of the war and Russian backed powers around the world have at times used SKS or SKS variants in their military service. In addition to its use in the Red Army, SKS and SKS variants have been used in China, Vietnam, Albania, Yugoslavia, Romania and others. In fact, it has been said that the SKS or some version of it has been used at some point in history in the military service of nearly 100 countries around the world. 


In addition to the fact that it is such a historically significant rifle, there is the fact that the SKS rifle has become relatively easy to find in most markets. Perhaps because of the vast scale of its production around the world, it is fairly easy to get your hands on one, and if it has been cared for by its previous owner, it’s a fine rifle for a number of other reasons. 

Not only can you usually pick one up at a reasonable price, but the ammo that is typically paired with it is also fairly easy to locate and also relatively affordable. Whereas other ammos like .22LR and 5.56 NATO often see regional shortages and spikes in price, you can almost always find a supply of 7.62x39mm. It’s also an ammo that pairs decent performance with widespread availability and price. 

In addition, because these rifles have been used so widely around the world, finding compatible SKS parts and accessories is usually fairly easy as well. Finding a supplier with a fair selection of SKS parts is critical to owning one, as it is to owning any firearm, because with use and time you will need to replace many parts on a platform, and some are easier to find than others. 

There’s one more thing to keep in mind. Because of the scope of production of the SKS, there are a number of aftermarket parts and accessories that are compatible with them, which lowers the boundary for finding the parts you need. 

On that note, the supplier you’re looking for is Sarco, Inc, where you will find all the parts you need for this famous - or infamous - semi-automatic rifle. Sarco, Inc. predicates its business on customer satisfaction, and that typically means putting their customers in touch with the hard to find parts that they need. Don’t waste your time searching; visit their website, SarcoInc.com, and get to finding what you need.

M1 Bayonet Might Not Mean What You Think It Does

Image
When you type M1 bayonet into the search bar, are you looking for information about the bayonets paired with the M1 Garand? Or are you looking, specifically, for the model the United States termed the “M1 bayonet”? Because there are multiple bayonets that were compatible with the M1 Garand rifle, and the M1 bayonet (proper) is only one of them. Let’s start, well, where it all started - with the M1905. This is a sword-style bayonet that was actually designed for the M1903 Springfield Rifle and was predominantly produced between 1906 and 1922. It has a 16” blade with a fuller, a crossguard, and grips of walnut wood. Although it was produced for the M1903, it is also compatible with the M1 Garand. By 1943, the changing nature of warfare indicated a change in weaponry was also necessary, and the United States shortened the M1905 bayonet’s 16” blade to 10”. This new model was called the M1 bayonet, and it is also compatible with the Garand. The...
