Good taste.

I've been meaning to get tech sights and one of those metal upper heat shields, but just keep forgetting to get around to it. That's all I'll ever do to mine, although I have since put on a Strike Hard Gear buttstock clip pouch.

Any lefties on here ever switched the safety around?

>>32354730
Never bothered me enough to even think that it could be done

Nice dogger.

Also I think the Tapco stock can be OK if it's in black and if you DON'T then bolt a bunch of shit on it. A pistol grip just feels nicer for some people.

>>32354572
Where the fuck is your bayonet? Put one on before you post an sks thread again.

It's actually pretty damned accurate. Would do again.

>>32355438
Judging by the mismatched gastube cover, I'm thinking he might have bought this thing covered in Tapco and the bayonet removed, then put it in a proper stock later.

Actually looks pretty alright, but I think you should ditch the Tapco mag, if you want detachable mags, you should have a gunsmith convert it to take AK mags, like the Chinese D model.

Looks good with a bakelite mag inserted.

>>32355534
Also if you replaced the wood pistol grip with a plastic one, fitting flush against the trigger guard, you'd get a bit of a AC556 aesthetic to it.

>>32355558
I agree. I think the tapco mags in conjunction with the stock magazine release are utter garbage, I just put it in there for the "look". one day I will rig up a magazine release similar to an AK and ditch the duckbill mags

>>32355582
that would be neat, although I found it was pretty tricky to get a decent pistol grip without completely blocking the takedown button on the back of the trigger.

They are pretty average looking as far as military autos with conventional stocks go.

I think they look kind of interesting in these stocks, but I hear they aren't very good (the folder wobbles).

>>32355619
Make sure you do it properly, you'll need to modify the receiver, stock, and the bolt, as well as make and attach a magazine release, it can be done, and it's not complex, but it can be fucked up.

>>32355525

Explain the magazine configuration, please. I'm not an SKS guy but I spend half my working year in Canada. This looks like everything you can ask for in a legal rifle up yonder.

>>32355773

rifle is fine.

>>32355935
in canada, semiautomatic centerfire rifles are limited to five round magazines only. pistols on the other hand are allowed 10 rounds. apparently somebody made a 7.62x39 XCR-L in a pistol configuration and made 10 round magazines to go with it.
The magazine adapter allows me to use 10 round XCR-L pistol magazines. The magazines seem just as reliable as the stock fixed magazine.

it takes grinding or milling of the reciever, bolt, and stock. hical.ca does the installation for $50

ayyy, I have that stock too. My only problem is that if you want to replace the dust cover you have to take out the trigger system first. just sort of a pain

That's entirely fixable. Just go to a machine shop and ask them to weld in the holes and re drill for the pins. No big deal. If the difference in finish bothers you, just sharpie over the weld till it darkens up. You can literally fix that for like 15 bucks

Worst case you could have that rear sight ground off and the spot refinished, then get aftermarket peep sights to put on the rear of the receiver.

If you get that "pistol" magazine adapter for it too, it would be a quite nice rifle.

>>32364513
Battlefield trophies are neat as shit.

Reminds me of that Type-56 AK which Ian showed off (which ended up going for like 130k dollars somehow)

>>32364573
Yeah dude. I have a thing for bringbacks. My Luger was brought back by my great grandfather and my Gewehr 98 was a bringback as well.

I still don't understand how that Type 56 went for $130k but the North Korean AK went for only like $15k or something like that.

>>32364633
Well, it was a battlefield trophy, a bringback, sold by guy who 'won' it and with his story attached, that's got an appeal.
It is a select-fire AK which is transferable, that's a HUGE draw.
It was in very good condition, another bonus.

But what happened was that two rich guys got in a heated bidding war during the auction, so this assault rifle which would have gone for maybe $35000 normally, just happened to be bid up to $130000+

Like winning a lottery ticket.

Are there any nice aftermarket wood stocks with a beyonet cut?

I really love the SKS, I'm a dirty peasant who can't into semi-autos due to the state; but when I went abroad and fired a Ruskie SKS and a Chink AK I greatly preferred the SKS.

>>32364845
What state?

And yeah something about the SKS makes it intrinsically more fun to shoot. It's hard to explain to people who haven't shot one.

How well do those sights fit? I was considering getting one but I don't want to permanently remove my breakdown pin for a sight that may not even hold its zero every time I clean my rifle

>>32365123
>What state?
Orwellian state of England. I have funs, but only bolt and lever actions.

Although they were both short I didn't actually compare the length of pull on the two, it was a dark tourist range shithole in Eastern Europe where you could barely see the targets (some old soviet tunnel with half of their lighting out), but the SKS shouldered better and I felt like I had a more natrual and better positioned cheekweld. I liked the recoil impulse better and overall it just felt more ergonomic to me; I was expecting the opposite. I suppose it might be because I am used to straight stocked bolt actions and the L85, the AK felt more foreign.

>intrinsically more fun to shoot.
There's just something nice about it, it's like it's happy with what it is and it wasn't asking much. I mean it's about as basic and barebones as a semi-auto can get. It doesn't even have a pistol grip, it doesn't have anything a modern rifle has but it works and you're happy with that. At least that's the feeling I got in the brief time I had with it.

Though you can obviously utilize multiple detachable magazines, is there anyone who just use one of these pistol magazines as a substitute for the gimped fixed magazines and just loads from the top like usual?

>>32365281
I've only heard good things about tech sights so my inference is that it mounts quite tightly. My further inference from that would be that, when tightened down, it would be in the same position each time, or at the very least if it moves zero a little it would be negligible when compared to the accuracy that the SKS attains.

>>32367257
Absolutely gorgeous. Back when I got my Yugo, not even a week afterwards when I was in a little gun and tackle shop there was a Romy SKS that looked very near identical to yours. Beautiful patina, and the action was so well broken-in that it was absolutely butter smooth. My Yugo was either unissued or refurbished, so next to it that Romanian was pure sex in terms of the action. If I hadn't just bought my Yugo (especially since it was my first gun), I'd totally have traded or preferred that Romanian.
