Yeah, but hardly ever jams, will run 200 rounds of cheap .22 ammo easy, and even a total noob can clean the gun. At $100 as Jporter says it is king of the cheap ass plink. Plus adding a scope is supper simple and it can be used for hunting in Ohio. Other than that you can still find inexpensive sks carbines and 7.62x39 ammo is usually reasonable in price. But watch the ammo you use at indoor ranges. Nothing like being kicked out for using steel core ammo by accident.
