What is the Cheapest semi auto rifle

[saj12100]

I want it to be a centerfire rifle, no pistol calibers, i have already heard about SKSs.

SKS

 

[SSShooter]

Whatluck beat me to it, but you really can't go wrong with an SKS. They are nice rifles and the ammo is relatively affordable.

mosin nagant.could be had here in mass. for 99ish bucks.

 

[inerlogic]

Mosin nagant isn't semi auto, it's a bolt action rifle....

SKS

Not to disreguard your answer but i have heard "sks" a million times, and where i live the SKSs are the same price as the AKM rifles.

Yes, and the SKS/AKM is the cheapest autoloader.

You CAN get an SKS for about $400 still. A good AKM will run out at least $600.

With a C&R FFL they're a bit cheaper.

I paid $300 for my Egyptian Hakim last year... Chambered in 8mm Mauser.

MAS-49's run around the $300-400 price range as well.

I was about to say Ruger 10/22 until you said centerfire. Whoops I said it anyway.

Unless you find a good deal theres not much to choose from in the cheap semi auto centerfire rifle. SKS about sums it up. I know I know , not sks. best bet is to save a little while longer.

If you're looking for cheap ammo prices are a factor too. If you want something bigger than a .22 it's hard to go wrong with 7.62x39 (AKM/SKS). My latest case of 7.62 came out to about 22 cents a round. Not too many rifles you can shoot for that cheap. My AK is just insanely fun to shoot too.

I saw this SKS up at Bob's a while ago that looked like it had really nice wood. It seemed shorter than the standard SKS too (sorry I haven't done my homework on them yet I am talking like a dumbass). I wanted it...badly. lol. I wonder if it's still there...

Can't go wrong with an SKS or AKM in my book.

What planet are you on? A Yugo M59 is nowhere near what even a WASR-10 typically costs these days.

Putting the way back machine to use, consider a remington 742 ? chambered in everything fron 243-30-06
You could have them for cheap not long ago.

 

[Queen Bee]

The kel tec su-16 isnt that expensive, around 400 new and it folds in half. Cdnn is having a sale on them atm

 

[gerrycaruso]

I've seen the Cetme pretty cheap but I've never fired one and know nothing about them. It's in .308 and looks similar to a HK 91/G3.

They are great, but do research online about head spacing and checking the bolt before you buy.

One is based on the other. I believe the CETME came first.

Mike is absolutely right. These Yugo SKS's go for $289 - $349 brand new (or almost new). They are covered in cosmo, but they are good bang for the buck rifles. Where are you located?

 

[SKS Ray]

You should be able to pick up a cheap and reliable beater Chinese SKS for about $225 on auction sites and have it sent to a local FFL.

Aside from an AK variant the only other semi auto that I can think of that uses commonly available ammo is a Mini 14 or Mini 30.

 

[whatluck]

Mini 14 or Mini 30.

[mac1911]

have you seen the prices as of late on the rugers.................

 

[whatluck]

You could almost buy an ar-15.

You get what you pay for....
