[QUOTE="Rich Stern, post: 880682, member: 52580"] Fellas, don't kid yourself about the receiver cover-mounted optics for an SKS. It's a very iffy solution because the cover is not solidly attached to the action of the rifle. It's designed to move, and any solution to that problem is marginal. The most reliable way to add optics to an SKS is to tap the side of the receiver and add a solidly screwed in, unmovable side mount. Again, not something the original design allowed for, and hence it's a weakness of the weapon. Tom, as for full auto in an assault rifle, that has been shown to be a tactical failure in modern infantry combat. Armies have downplayed full auto for the individual infantryman, and still continue to provide squad light machine guns like the SAW and M-60. [/QUOTE]
