Your Preferred T2K Personal Weapon

I can't say much for the AKM or AK-74, but I have shot the earlier SKK and SKS rifles in 7.62S and I wasn't all that impressed by them.
Accuracy at longer ranges (anything beyond a couple of hundred metres) was woeful and they certainly didn't hit as hard as a 7.62N/.308.

I've never heard of the SKK rifle and a Google search didn't yield much. Is it a variant of the SKS?

Yes, they're basically the same weapon. One has the internal magazine and the other a detachable of up to 30 rounds capacity.
Both have integral spike bayonets (I think, it was near 20 years ago).

Thanks for the info.

That's correct. I haven't been able to find anything that deals exclusively about the SKK, but I've been able to find out that it's a conversion of the SKS done by NORINCO (China's primary arms company) to take AK magazines. They started making those about 20 years ago, and in various firearms blogs, people complain that they are hard to find and usually overpriced when they can find them.

An M-4 type hands down. If I could get it in 7.62x39 or 51 even better.......

DPMS has a 7.62x51 M4ish version its the AP4 in 308/7.62x51, got one myself.

M14 series (ie M1A Spingfield Armory).. however for pure survival work a .22 with tube feed and capability to digest any .22 rimfire from CB to LR hivel. Bucket loads of ammo and very common in US. You can put meat in the pot up to deer size if you work at it and not rush the shot. Not something to get in a firefight with though.. definately a consideration.
