That would be an SKS. Stuck in one of those cheap plastic aftermarket stocks.
Good thing she's not actually at a range. If she lit it off the way she's holding it she'd get that cheekpiece right in the snout!
And tell her to flip the rear sight down where it's supposed to be.

Pretty, but (in my opinion) more attractive with less muscles showing!

Actually, the Siminov wasn't a bad weapon for what it is, a carbine. When Soviet tactics changed in the late 40's to "spray and pray", the AK took over. I own a 1951 Tula Arsenal SKS, and it is fairly accurate for a carbine in an intermediate caliber and is quite pleasant to shoot. In 'Nam, the VC made good use of the SKS. We captured quite a few of them. I don't care for all the Buck Rogers, plastic after-market crap that people put on them, but IMHO, it's not a bad weapon...

She looks like Linda Hamilton on way too many steroids.
As for the SKS, why do people bother with such junk, even the Russians dumped them as quickly as they could!
I've gotta agree with cactuskid. The SKS is a good solid design but it came at the wrong period in time. A semi-auto carbine with a charger-fed fixed magazine when the rest of the world was switching over to detachable-magazine select-fire designs.
I've had several of them over the years. None of them ever failed me for sport shooting...accuracy is good for a post-WWII battle rifle and functioning is flawless even if you abuse the heck out of them.
My favorite was a Tula but I've had a several Chinese versions, both surplus and new Norinco build. I have yet to try the Yugo variant and I doubt that I will since the days of cheap 7.62x39 shooting are over here in the US (compared to the heyday in the early 90s anyways). I've got one Chinese surplus "keeper" though.
Given the choice between a Simonov or Kalashnikov, I'll stick with the SKS.
Wombat, I realize that you might have actual combat experience with the gun which might flavor your bias but as a sport shooter and varmint rifle I've been very happy with em.

As far as Combloc weapons go I've always prefered the SKS to the AK-47 and its AKM and AK-74 derivitives. All are very reliable weapons, but I can shoot the SKS much more accurately at greater distances than the Kalishnikov designs. I've always regretted not bringing my SKS back from the Nam.
It wasn't so easy to do. I tried to bring a captured Type 56 home in my duffle bag in '67, and got caught with it in Cam Ranh before getting on the plane. Bummer, it was still in the wrapper! :tgun2:

You know Joe I used to be able to......well, never mind.....
Agree with previous comments on the SKS....everything is a trade off, and the Soviets clearly went with the AK series out of clear sense of pragmatism. But if you're a marksman, the AK is not your choice of weapon.
