"Kyle Boatright" wrote in message ... "Flyingmonk" wrote in message oups.com... I thought I remember the article saying that they are going through certification or has gone through certification. I'll dig it up tomorrow. If they need money, I'll buy a few shares. I bet many others will also, I think they have a very good product. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone Lots of companies plan to certify their aircraft, but it is a very expensive and time consuming process. Ask the folks at Eclipse or the folks who have the push me pull you twin and a jet version of the same airframe. Unless you're very well funded, certification is a huge barrier to entering the GA market. Just wait until China decides to build "certified" aircraft.

I guess you have never heard of the Yaks and the Chinese made Migs, not
as bad as one might guess. |

Some things made in china are decent, some are not. The SCUDD missiles
wre not, the AK rounds worked find. Most things they make are a 'good bang for the buck', no pun intended. They have proven to have made decent aircrafts, although most, if not all are Russian copies, including the SCUDD missile and the AK 47. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone |

I have no problems with my Chinese SKS, which by the way has 5,10,20,30,and
40 round mags. Alot of states require a 5 round mag for hunting.I don't use mine for hunting. Winchester Model 70 for that Just don't buy Chinese tools The quality there may have gotten better, but maybe, so has a Chrysler Won't buy either!

Your SKS takes detachable mags? Did you convert it to accept AK mags
or do the mags have that 2/12" thing hanging out in front? I heard that once converted, they had feeding problems. I had a Colt CAR-15 - "a shorty M-16, but semi mode only w/ telescoping stock and shorter barrel", but for some reason, it fired in bursts when I use one of the old mags. It fires fine with new mags. I sold it later when I got an offer I couldn't refuse on it. That was long time ago when I didn't know the value of a Colt. All I can find now are copies for the price I got for mine.

Yep,
The mags have that funky part on the front! It will unload a 40 round banana like there is no tommorrow! They actually make mags for the SKS and have for a longggg time. No need to try to convert to an Ak setup. Slower to put another mag in versus an AK-47, but for the money you put in an SKS a very effective weapon. Mine is complete with spike bayonet....it keeps the neighbors kids in their own backyard! I much prefer the AK-47 to any M-16. M-16 is a great target rifle, very accurate even when stock. But it's problem is it is made to well. The AK's advantage is loose fitting parts, the Colt has close tolerance parts. That's why the AK-47 can get dropped in a mud puddle and come out firing, and the Colt gets alittle dirt in it and it jams. So you take that into account as well as the rounds for the Ak and SKS are so dern cheap,...really hard to beat them. My son has an Albanian and Yugoslavian made SKS, and I must say they are even better made than the Chinese. But bang for the buck, can't be beat !

I deal with Chinese-built carpentry tools daily, and they're not. George Patterson Well probably most of the electronics in my house are made in China but I guess the difference would be the automotive stuff is designed and made by a Chinese company to sell to other companies/end user, the electronics are designed outside of China and the QC is much higher since it is made for a multi-national company (Sony, Panasonic, Microsoft etc.). ------------------------------------------------------ DW |
