How much heavier is the yugo from something like a type 56? Is it really that noticeable, or am I just a pussy?

>>29896502
My m59 (no made stuff) is still significantly heavier than the commercial chink I used to have.

What's the best type of scope mount? Receiver cover mounted, side mounted, forward mounted?

I don't have the mount on the side of my Yugo so would I need to take it to a gun smith for him to install the right mounting holes?

Here is the latest iteration of my sks. Cool rifle or abomination? You decide!

>>29897015
What am I looking at?

>>29897015

What magwell is that?

What'd you do to mount that heat shield

>>29897052
Russian sks in a chinese stock rigged with a butler creek folder. Ak74 style brake threaded on muzzle, cheese grater heatshield, POSP 4x24 scope, and a magazine adapter that lets me use 7.62x39 stanag magazines.

>>29897052
Shut the fuck up.

>>29897015
>Soviet Optic
>SVT like heat shield
>74 Muzzle break
>wire stock slanted like the original AK47
Awesome

>grip
>mag holder
Needs improvement. Look into removing it and fixing the wire stock or adding soviet style pistol grips on it. If you were going for "Komrade lets deck out this surplus SKS because its 1965" then you are spot on, looks like a soviet upgraded SKS for elite troops using parts from other weapons. Its not a tactical piece of shit like other SKS's.

>>29897118
It's one of the ones that converts it to take AR 7.62x39 mags. They suck.

>>29897118
Hical.ca AR mag adapter.
I punched out the retaining pin in the heatshield, pulled the wood off and put the vented one on.

>>29897161
1300 rounds through mine, no malfs

>>29897158
Its funny because thats almost exactly what I was going for. A rifle used by a partisan fighter in an eastern european shithole. I may figure out how to put AK grips on someday.

>>29896502
its much heavier, very noticeable. stock is thicker, barrel is longer, the extra weight from the grenade sights makes a big difference. bigger bayonet too.

>>29897158
>Shut the fuck up.

Wooahhh slow down there, buckaroo.

>>29897208
It's awesome, if only we had more people like you instead shit head bubbas ruining a rifle for tacticool purposes instead of modding one to still have the original feel/culture of the gun but also making a new gun altogether.

You should do more guns like this. Maybe a mosin with PPSH features.

>>29897152

I just wanted my legal 10 rounds man. Blame cucknadian gun laws. I would be perfectly happy with a 10 round original mag, but NOPE... a 10 round rifle magazine is a danger to the canadian public safety. Please annex us

>>29897350
>Please annex us
A US invasion I would support

>>29897350
So you can't use the stock 10rd internal mag with stripper clips? Holy shit.

>>29897350
>Please annex us

We don't want your kind. Sorry.

>>29897386
Semi automatic centerfire rifles are limited to 5 rounds, pistol magazines are limited to 10 rounds. The AR magazines im using are for a 7.62 XCR "pistol". Because the magazines are labelled pistol, I can have a legal 10 rounds of 7.62x39

>>29897386
They rape 1956 surplus as soon as it clears customs. Big-ass rivet or pin gets driven or welded through the mag, limiting the capacity permanently to 5. Only applies to semi-auto rifles (minus the M1 Garand, it gets to stay at 8)

BUBBA NO

>>29896090
>The one problem with my gun is that it's a pain in the fucking ass to get the trigger group to snap back into the receiver bracket.

It's simply difficult in general. If you learn how to wiggle it around just right, though, it becomes easier.

Is the piston return spring installed?

>>29900663
Yeah. It is. I took it apart after that range trip and polished it a bit, don't know if that fixed it.

My baby. 1958 Romanian.

Sweet shooter.

What ever happened to that one guy who was recreating the sks used in Fury Road? Did he finish it?

>>29900984
>cartoonishly big scope
>piece of wood screwed into handguard

Seems like it would be pretty simple

>>29900368
Get a beat to shit one from JG sales for $290

>>29896090

The jungle stocks are not military surplus. They are shitty molded plastic that China produced to repackage the SKS to make it sound like there were a variety of options available. I would almost guarantee that you will be cutting and filing that thing to make it fit your Yugo.

Just stay with the original wood.

>>29900884
Is that a polymer or wood stock?

>>29896975
sks isn't worth putting a scope on. If you want something decent, put on some tech sights with a crosshair front sight post

>>29902114

>uses tech sights
>destroys the original hardware and makes the gun far more difficult to break down

Yea that sounds like a great idea

>>29902134
fine then get a wilson fire sight. You're gonna be fucking your gun up putting a scope on it anyway.Any other configuration will fail to keep a zero

>>29902066
its obviously a wood.......

Anyone know where I can find a special rear leaf sight? I remember seeing one with two green dots on both sides to help sight acquisition but I can't find it anywhere anymore

>>29902278

Just curious. My local shop had a Romanian sitting in a Chinese jungle stock. Thought it might be the same one.

>>29902331
The later yugos had night sight like what you are describing. You may be able to find and fit their illuminated rear sights to your gun.

>>29902066
Yeah, it's wood. It's that dark laminate beech. Original to the rifle.

>>29902530
Well, basically laminate. Somewhere between laminate and shellac.

>>29902530

Looks good man. I like the worn appearance. I have two 1954 Tula's but they aren't the kind of rifle that I would bang around or take innawoods. I've also got a Yugo m59 but it shoots left. Not sure I could use it past 100 yards and effectively hit anything. The Russians are dead on though.

What is the best brand of SKS?

>>29902960
Chinese. Best nation make best gun

>>29902930
Yeah, the worn finish makes for a good look. The barrel is fantastic, too. I also really like the relative rarity of the Romanian rifles.

I'd like to get a Russian one of these days. There are other things that take financial precedence for now, though. Perhaps one day.

Disregard that guide. You aren't going to find East German or Polish sks's for sale and if you do it's not worth the price as a shooter. Russians are the best in terms of quality and appearance. Worth 600 and up these days. Early Chinese, then yugos, then late Chinese. People will argue the early Chinese vs Yugo because the yugos are better constructed but the Chinese have chrome bores. Be prepared to spend at least 400 for anything that's not Russian.

That's all you really need to worry about. Consult the info graphic for information about identifying them.

>>29903863
Poor Rommy's. Always getting overlooked even though they're just at good as the Russian.

Though they're probably pretty expensive now. I haven't seen one for sale in an age.

>>29902530
that metal finnish what is it? was it blued and slightly stripped or something?

>>29904328
The bluing is just almost worn off. There's still enough to keep the metal from rusting, which is good. It provides a very nice aesthetic, I think.

Just mounted this yesterday.
Can't wait to get to the range and zero this fuck.

Hey you guys would know better than I would, nor can I find any research about it. Recently picked up a SKS at a gun store, and Im trying to identify who made it. Now all it says is "Made In China." Now the numbers everywhere on the rifle match. But I still cant find anything identifying a company or factory. Thanks.

All it has is the serial

>>29906306
Odd. I'm stumped. Maybe contact YooperJohn and see if he could give you some info. He's a SKS guru, he'd definately be able to help.

http://www.yooperj.com/SKS.htm

Or maybe if you look through his page you might find it.

I'm still in the thought it was a commercial made for export model of some sort.

>>29906366
Damn, thanks for the help though.

>>29903863
the guide should be disregarded for a multitude of reasons. virtually every paragraph has bullshit in it.

>>29903923
they were imported in small numbers, and many of them were beat up. there is a good reason why they get looked over.

>>29902066
OP here, that's not my gun. I have a threaded barrel Norinco spike bayonet.

The fiberglass is miles better than the shitty wood on it, in my opinion.

>>29906299
the factory marking is clearly 106, what more were you trying to find? the only other thing you might have found is three ideograms that translate to type 56.

I can find SKSs locally (TX) for right around $300, i already own an AK , an AR and a C93
Are there good reasons to justify picking one up for that price?
Does anyone know where i might find them cheaper?
Ive seen part kits for much cheaper (160 range) but they do lack a reciever. Im not sure what the market is on receivers or if you have to press these in like a trunioun
Thanks in advace for any help/advice

>>29897423
Often they slap a pin under the follower, preventing it from going down all the way, but it doesn't affect the looks. Easily dremeled off.

take the stock off and look at the whole side of the rifle then compare it to the other side. it's possible the receiver was scrubbed.

commercial variants will have a short gas tube and most often have a special designation like SKSS. you either have a scrubbed receiver or an oddball.

>>29904744
What kind of mount/optic is that? I kinda wanna find another Mohawk SVT sporter and slap one on to make a sexy bastard syrup SVD-ish gun.

>>29906731
whole side of the receiver*

if it was scrubbed you can usually tell the difference between the two sides.

>>29906742
So if it were scrubbed I wouldn't be able to tell where it came from?

>>29906775
that's meaningless anyway since the only factory that can be dated is 26. so if your rifle has a factory code other than 26 it doesn't tell you any more information about the rifle.

only way to somewhat date it then is the by barrel lug. long lug = early production, short = mid, pinned/no lug = late production.

I bought a russian matching for $355 otd two months ago. Did I win?

>>29906684
Get one. Parts kits are mostly just a good source of spare parts to keep one up and running.

>>29906869
Assuming you aren't bullshitting, and in the u.s, you dun gud.

>>29906599
I suppose you're right. Poor special snowflake simonov.

They are still of fantastic build quality in my experience.

Where did you find your first Mohawk anyways?

Also to keep on topic I am curious, do you guys in the US have access to Barnaul ammo? It's a really decent cheap, non corrosive ammo option up here for SKS'.
