The other day paperboy told me that, if I wanted to find out how accurate my Russian SKS is ...all I have to do is look below the front sight on the business end of the barrel. The accuracy was checked at the factory by firing 3 rounds, and if it obtained sniper quality it was marked on the front sight base with the #1, with #2 and#3 as accuracy decreased.
Mine is marked #1
Mine is marked #1
