What is the purpose of this pin at the grip, between the bayonet Grove and the cleaning rod slot?

Also, I'm gonna bubba this stock and you can't stop me.

Plans are to fill the bayo groove, get a rubber stock pad, strip and refinish to try and get it high-contrasting dark brown with black grain (or as close as I can get to that) with a flat finish, and add a steel cheesegrater handguard.

Got it for cheap on ebay, has no serial, and someone already fucked with the bayo groove, so purists can suck a dick, and in any case I'm keeping the original furniture in tact so it's not like it isn't reversable.

Nugget fights SKS. Who wins?

>>32159125
SKS
doesn't have to work a shitty bolt after every shot
also cheaper ammo and semi-auto fun

>>32159125
Distance?

>>32159171
But the Mosin is more powerful and cheaper. It's also good if you're an idiot, since it's much simpler than the SKS.

>>32159323
Let's go with 75m.

>>32159348
desu I don't think that its cheaper in the long run
Saw a box of 20 rounds of 54r at Bass Pro for 12 bucks, whereas you can get double that for the same price. SKS might be more expensive up front, but ammo is cheaper/more plentiful;
Mosins were only good back when they were literally $90 for a cosmoline drenched gun. Now that they're running $200-300, its not worth it imo.

>>32159422
*double the rounds of x39 for the same price

>>32159348
Per round perhaps but being able to load 2x the firepower and fire it probably 3x as fast or more definitely makes the SKS more favorable to me. Both fire a .30 cal projectile. The only thing the Mosin has on the SKS as far as I'm concerned is range.
The SKS also looks pretty neat to me.

How much are those ChiCom fixed 20-rounders?

This and something to extend the LoP (I have a rubber buttpad on mine because I'm not a malnourished peasant) have always struck me as the only SKS "upgrades" that are legitimately upgrades.

>>32160643
What about a rear-sight mod, like a peep-sight, and maybe a high-contrast front post? I think they'd be usefull modifications.

>>32160662
Your mileage may vary there. I personally hate peep sights compared to open sights and find them to be detrimental to your overall field of view.

Hi-vis sights could be good though.

>>32160713
I supposed it's a matter of opinion. Everything else I've ever shot has had some kind of a peep sight or ghost ring or what have you, so adjusting to the open sights on the sks is a bit of a process.

>>32162094
I always shoot with the bayo up like that for muh aesthetics.
So it just gets darkened from shooting with it up, comes right off with a rag though.

I'm not too sure about the bolt, I got it like that.
It's also a Norinco, so maybe that's why? I'm sure I can get it all off with really deep cleaning though.

What purpose does the trigger guard spring (29) have?

I recently moved, before I left I went shooting, and stupidly didn't put it back together after I finished cleaning it. So it went to my new place disassembled

I went to put the magazine and trigger back on and I'm noticing it's gone, looked around everywhere I can think of and I don't know where it is.

Will the rifle shoot fine without it? Where should I look for replacements?

>>32162159
(ignore the cheapo chinese sling)

Assuming that's a surplus ChiCom sling and not some NCStar-tier knockoff that's one of the best milsurp 2-point slings available, anon. I use them on all my ComBloc shit because I like them more than any other commie country's sling.

No shame, game recognize game

>>32163565
Forces the trigger assembly out when the disassembly button is pressed, provides tension holding the assembly in place when the button is not pressed. I don't believe it would affect firing that much, other than the assembly might feel a bit loose. Won't stop the hammer from hitting the pin in any case.

What sort of ammo pouches do you all use with your SKSs? Mine is still in the mail, but I ordered on of these East German ones. I have also seen the green Chinese apron-style bandoliers and the leather Yugo belt pouches

>>32164292
My pockets, mostly.
What EG pouches are those?
They don't look near as deep as their standard AK pouches.
>Could just be an illusion though.

>>32164492
You're correct. These are the grenade pouches

>>32164650
Neat.
Where'd you get them, if you don't mind me asking?

>>32164669
Ebay. I searched "EG sks pouch" or something like that. I paid $8 including shipping, so they're pretty affordable.

Here's one listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/East-German-NVA-military-surplus-rain-drop-camo-triple-grenade-belt-pouch-new/381835909461

>>32164739
Forgot to mention, ebay also has some pretty affordable stripper clips if you're in the market. I also got 20 clips for $12 shipped

>>32164739
>>32164748
Much obliged, friend.

What kind of clips?
I have quite a few Yugo clips, but what's a few more gonna hurt?

>>32164777
Aftermarket ones. Hopefully they'll just work out of the box, but if not they mostly aren't that hard to fix up. I couldn't find cheap surplus ones, not that I looked all that hard

Seems that boat has sailed.
Although I'm not sure why with the somewhat recent influx of M67 crates.
Guess folks just think that they can get $1+ for a tab of metal and others will pay it.

Thanks again for the EG grenade pouch link though.
Seems like it'll be a nice little clip pouch.

>>32158934
I've been looking at an SKS as kind of a lark but don't know much about them beyond what's being shouted by people trying to offload them and a few forums with broken images. I was glad to find this thread to get some answers.

I've seen both Chinese and Yugoslavian for sale, are either preferable? Any particular features or flaws I should be looking for on these (kind of addressing the "SKS-D" versus "SKS-M" bit here)? What should I realistically pay for a good condition SKS?

they also sell Chinese bandoliers, which I think are kinda cool, although they seem to go for a few more dollars than the East German. On the plus side, they also hold more ammo than the EG

I'm not too sure about all the different models, but I know that usually people say Russian is the best, but also most expensive and hardest to find.

I went with Yugo (pic related) because they are the easiest to find in unissued condition. Some people complain that the grenade launcher nozzle makes them nose-heavy, but they are pretty affordable (Classic Firearms ~$430) and the fit, finish, and accuracy are supposed to be good.

Unsurprisingly, the Chinese ones are very variable in terms of quality, which scared me away, but they can be had for even less than the Yugo (~$350). They also seem to be pretty easy to find, although some don't have bayonets, which is another turn off for me

>>32165824
The third kind that I have seen a lot are the Yugo leather pouches, which don't really appeal to me at all. They often come free with a Yugo SKS, but I wouldn't pay for one because they often seem not to be in very good condition, plus leather is more maintenance and loses durability with age

So just picked up a Yugo.
Want to do a full teardown, but the stock bolt is indented in place.
Any recommendations for breaking this free? Don't want to have to drill the thing off.

>>32165956
you don't have to pull that out for a full disassembly mang. it's a pin that the trigger group and magazine cover hook around. why do you want to remove it?

>>32166010
Well shit. How do I get the stock off then? Didn't see any other bolts holding it on.
I'm likely a blind fool.

>>32159085

It's already fucked, do whatever you want.

>>32166019
> there's a little button looking thing behind the trigger guard, has to be pushed in/forward and the trigger group and magazine will drop out the bottom. hold on, there's a good pdf I saw somewhere of disassembly and service

>>32166019
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi0ARoq0z9k

>>32166019

Watch a 5 minute video on youtube and itll show you everything.

Anyways right behind the trigger guard is a little indent that you push in with a punch/small screwdriver/anything and it will release the trigger/magazine from the receiver, which in turn frees the receiver from the stock.

If your gun came with the cleaning kit that goes in the stock than you should have a punch in there otherwise use literally anything to push that indent in. To put it back together you slot everything in correctly and just push the trigger+reveiver together really fucking hard and itll click if you lined it up right.

Does a fellow eurofag know where to get SKS parts in Europe? I'm in deseperate need of a gas tube and a piston, no luck so far.

>>32166373
Thanks, I've seen that before but didn't have it saved. I disagree with rating the Yugo worse than Chinese simply because some used Yugos have gas system corrosion from the Yugo ammo. There are good condition and bad condition models of both Chinese and Yugo. One fair criticism of the Yugo is the lack of a chromed barrel, although apparently chroming can cause slight accuracy decreases so this isn't entirely negative

>>32164842
>>32166347
Do those just slide over the attachment on the barrel? Do you need special blanks? Is that red one a Kong dog toy?

It seems like those would be fun to play with

Serious question open to anyone who knows: Does anyone IRL actually care about 922r compliance? I've read about it, but I'm also constantly seeing modifications online and on /k/ that are presumably illegal

>>32164292
I have the same pouch, but for AK mags. I have mine stuffed with 160rds in stripper clips. Kinda heavy, so i hang it from my boner.

>>32166550
One man has been charged with it, when he was also charged with a slew of other NFA violations, and the judge dropped the charge.
It's an unenforceable law from both ends; no agent could arrest based on it without getting btfo in any court that doesnt reside in New York

>>32166570
Hmm good to know. I know that SKSs are illegal in CA and in some places the modified ones run afoul of "assault weapons" bans, but didn't know that about 922r. Not that I want to modify my SKS anyway

Since I don't give a fuck about originality, or >muhsovietstronk memes. Are Tapco stocks any good? Any build quality issues or known problems? What about the detachable mags? Jam-O-Matic? Do they work the same way as a normal detachable mag? Or does it function like the integral mag but bigger?

Fair enough. To each his own I guess, as long as the modifications are reversible.

>>32166974
Agreed. I really wanted a Mosin or another old bolt gun, but $300 didn't seem like a great deal, especially when you factor in 7.62x54R costing twice as much as 7.62x39. 7.5 Swiss, 8 mm Mauser, etc. are far more expensive, so my bolt gun is gonna be new, not C&R

Hey boys, it looks like my firing pin is partially chipped. Is this safe to fire still or should I just replace it?

>>32167067
Stock swaps are reversible of course, but irreversible mods are just wrong. Leave the spraypaint in your garage, Bubba

>>32167040
nope, the sks is where its at.

>>32167081
I would replace it because if it were to break further it could slamfire. Murrays and others sell aftermarket firing pins with firing pin return springs too, so you can reduce the risk of slamfires

>>32167082
I still don't understand k's mentality behind "Don't do things to your own property". I bought it, I own it, it is not a rare or special item, and it will never leave my family. If I want to chop the barrel off and spot weld a metal dildo to the receiver that is my right.

>>32167110
Hey anon, I'm planning on bubbaing my sks as well. Don't listen to the loud ones, they're just putting up a stink about history and collectibles, when the sks doesn't really have any historic significance. As for collectability, that's only really true of the ones with all matching serials or the ones that are so rare you'd probably never even get your hands on one to bubba in the first place.

>>32167110
>>32167137

Because even if you don't plan on selling it (assuming you never change your mind) you are still "destroying" a piece of history. Maybe one day your kid will inherit it or you will die and it will be sold. In the case of SKSs they aren't rare, but that still doesn't make it right, at least IMO. And I'm very new to /k/ so I'm not just following some sort of meme

also

>>32167162
Explain the historical significance of an SKS beyond it being an old mass-produced rifle that was quickly phased out of military service.

>>32167162
Piece of history? It saw what? Six months service as a primary in the last weeks of WW2? Then a few commies in caves took pot shots at patrols? That's not history. That's abysmal. It's a good rifle but it did nothing.

I believe they sure did a lot to our boys in Vietnam. I don't know where you get your history from, the back of a cereal box.

>>32167185
>>32167203
You could say the same thing about the Swiss K-31, which I don't think anyone would deny is historical. Also, the SKS was heavily used in Vietnam and Korea, as well as limited use in a million other conflicts.

The lack of rarity isn't a good excuse in my mind because people said the same thing about carrier pigeons too, and now they're all gone

>>32167262
kek

>>32167110
Mostly I tell people not to because I bubba'd my SKS when I got it and it was terrible.

I had this idea in my head that I would get AK functionality out of it for less than I would've spent on an AK.

Instead what I got was a gun that, while checking all the same boxes on paper, was less functional, less ergonomical, and less reliable than either its factory configuration or the gun I was trying to turn it into, for the same price as the AK I actually wanted in the first place.

I'm MUCH happier with the SKS in original configuration than I was with my """upgraded""" gun and it was an expensive lesson, so I try to talk noobs out of making the same mistake whenever I can.

Duckbill mags are ugly and unreliable, often requiring you to take a dremel to your gun to get them to feed reliably. Most aftermarket furniture is ugly (ruins the lines of the gun) and completely ruins the balance of the gun by making it much more front-heavy.

The SKS's selling point is that it's a low-cost, reliable semiautomatic rifle in an intermediate caliber. When you Tapco the gun, you're diminishing the "low-cost" and "reliable" parts of the equation.

You do you but it's well-trod ground and people are simply trying to warn you off the same cycle many of them have already gone through.

>>32167262
Did a lot? Of what? Even the Vietnamese peasants were primarily AK'd up. Stay salty all you want but the SKS never saw significant military use.

>>32167293
All I'm planning on doing is changing the color of the furniture and adding a buttpad and peep sight, maybe lopping off the bayo lug and getting the barrel professionally shortened.

>>32167291
>carrier pigeons
>existing ever

Yes anon, believe the envirojew who want to stop the world from hunting. Good goy.

>>32167291
No, it didn't see heavy use. It saw use. That was the only conflict it ever really saw action. And millions of other conflicts? Yeah, people shoot it. The Glock sees action in "millions of conflicts" doesn't mean it has historical value.
>>32167293
I get where you are coming from. But I'm really not trying to change it all that much. Want to get the stock I posted above for a more comfortable shooting position (my wrists don't like rifle grips, prefer pistol). And 10 rounds is pretty small for a combat oriented rifle. Thought as much about the mags, but was curious. Will stick to trying for a Chinese 20 rounder.

it's the only convincing argument for keeping the SKS ergonomically relevant, and it looks cool as fuck

Of course not literally millions, but right off the top of my head: the Yugoslav and Kosovo Wars, Afghanistan, and Syria

I guarantee with the cost of parts and upgrades he's well into the price range of a gun that does everything his "SK15" does, out of the box.

It's a cool concept but again, it's not worth it when SKSs are running $350 on the low end before shipping costs and transfer fees.

And there's the fact that we have no idea how reliability was affected by the changes he made.

Yes, because there aren't multitudes of sources that describe passenger pidgeons. And no species have ever suffered from overhunting. Definitely not the American and European bison, or Tasmanian tiger and Carribean monk seal which weren't affected by hunting at all.
>inb4 people say I'm anti hunting
I'm not against hunting at all and I hunt, what I do oppose is overhunting.

Nice dubs but it looks like garbage desu.

Does anyone know a good place to find good strippies? The only ones I can find are either packaged with Yugo ammo or modern production garbage.

>>32160598
They're cheap, reliable, fun, and arguably cool looking. What more do you want?

Just ordered a 1950s Russian on a black Friday sale, 190 bucks Canadian. They were completely sold out in stores (Cabelas), but they still had them online for the same price. Is it a huge deal that I didn't visually inspect it? I'm a total noob and it's my first gun, so I wouldn't have really known what to look for anyways, besides a chromed barrel, and nice furniture. Also ordered 1500 rounds of 1980s surplus Russian x39 for 300 bucks.

>>32167040
Just get your RPAL. Easier to do it all at once, if you're 21 or over.

Also an SKS is the absolute best bang for your buck that you'll find. Good to scoop one up before they're gone.

>>32169477
There are a lot of videos on youtube on how to buy an SKS or a used rifle. Mainly you want to check the bore for wear, pitting or erosion

>>32168536
I ordered some from NcSTAR from Ebay. I hope they turn out to be good

>>32169727
Do you not know their quality and are hoping that they're worth it, or are you hoping to get the few that are actually decent?

>>32169748
There isn't much in the way of surplus clips on the market, so you don't have too much of a choice. If they don't work out of the box, there are youtube videos on how to fix/break them in

>>32169748
I've heard they're a good brand, but it's possible to get a few bad ones. Really just hoping they come out better than the clips I have already haha.

But I'm confident that they will be good.

More yugo imports when??

How much would a norinco SKS with matching parts go for? Everything on it is in great condition.

>>32166373
based.

>>32167040
Got my PAL this summer and bought an SKS a month ago. Very, very pleased with the SKS. Price, quality, fun. Great across the board

>>32166953
What bolt gun is that in the middle?

>>32168011
May I ask how you attached the picatinny rail on your Tapco stock that I assume didn't come with it? Thanks c:

>>32174875
Crapco has rails

They're shit-tier, soft-as-fuck plastic rails, but they're rails

Why the fuck doesn't Winchester list the super-x slugs I have on their website?

http://www.winchester.com/Products/shotshell-ammunition/Performance/Super-X-Shotshell/Pages/X123RS15.aspx

12 gauge, 3", 1 oz, slugs, not hollow point. "X" formed into the nose of the slug instead, not sure if it's rifled... Shell says "Super-X" on the side though.

they apparently don't make this in a non-hollowpoint version?

>>32158934
No guns,
Serious question, looking to buy one of these, how fast will I go through the ammo? If I buy 1000 rounds how many days of shooting would that be?

Is it standard to shoot 50-100 rounds in an afternoon?

>>32175656

Depends how youre shooting

if youre doing 3-5 round groups and checking for accuracy, you gotta factor the time it takes to walk up check/patch your target and walk back, plus loading and set up.

if youre just blasting away not caring so much about accuracy then your rounds will go significantly faster.

generally when I shoot for zero and a few round for fun on my semis I blast something like 70-100 in a day and I think thats quite a bit.

get an sks with 1000~ cheap surplus and start slow. ammo is cheap enough you can abuse it a little, good training just make sure to put in effort and clean yo gat after if using corrosive

>>32160713
Not a shill but I'm buying myself Tech-Sights that attach to aft end of dust cover -- doubling sight radius!

SOG has Norinco SKSs on sale December 12 for $319.00 with matching numbers.

Tapco mag'd SKS, feeds fine. Scout scope on Mosin. Am I bubba yet?

>>32167040
Ontario-bro here.

Do it up man. SKS all the way. It's almost UN-Canadian to not have an SKS in your safe/cabinet.

Cheap, reliable and easy to clean and feed. What more could you want?

Care to educate us goyim on the holocaust as well? I don't believe the 6 million myth.

>>32159085
I only have a problem when Bubbas destroy historical weapons or fuck a rifle like an SKS up to the point of it looking like a fallout 4 meme rifle. Story time

SKS got too damn expensive to justify purchasing anymore, man. I could just get a WASR for $100 more.
