Hi /k/, new gunowner here. I've been trying to file down a magazine so it fits my tapco russian SKS for over an hour. Not sure what the fuck I'm doing wrong. I might've fucked it up but I have a second one at least.
Been referring to this www.tapco .com/pdfs/instructions/SKSMagFiling .pdf
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can upload pics if needed

>Using Crapco on that poor defenseless SKS
Just put one in the chamber and shoot yourself, Bubba.
forgot to add: when I slot the mag in, the bolt won't close.

Are you the OP of the PUBG thread here asking about the SKS?
I always love the chance to post a classic.
>>34823904
No
I'm just trying to fit this mag so I can go to a range next week
>>34823793
im sure magazines u have to file will run great
file down any and all springs, and sanding the firing pin will increase accuracy.

This board is fucking shit. Yeah, I realize I bought a poverty gun. I plan on buying better guns and accessories in the future. For now, I'm just looking to have this thing operational.
Isn't there a rule against shitposting on this board?
>>34823809
you need to grind down the bottem of the bolt not the mag dingus
>>34823997
i'm offering advice you whiny faggot, not /k/'s fault you decided to go with fuckin' tapco shit
>>34823997
The SKS itself Is fine. It's the tacky plastic bubba stock on it that's the problem.
>>34823997
newfag?put back on the origional magazine faggot
loose the tapco and get some russian furniture back on it and then we can talk
>>34823997
how the fuck can we offer help without a picture of whats habbenin, the mag, ect
>>34824121
this makes me sad, the best thing about the SKS is its humble down to earth form and function
tacticool shit works on AR's, not SKS's and mosins
>>34823793
Good on Ya OP.
You have enough common sense to file down the mag and not the SKS.
This puts you in the 95th percentile of /K/.
>>34824206
Thanks dude. Still having problems though, so I'm just gonna go to a smith tomorrow instead of begging for help on a mongolian sword trading forum

Just put the original wood and magazine back on that SKS - in other words, put the parts that were designed for it onto it, and you'll find that it magically starts working exactly as intended.
>>34824372
Didn't ship with them, otherwise I would.
>>34823793
Obligatory for SKS bait.
>>34824145
this. ARs are fun and all but the SKS is just...nice
>>34823793
Your best bet is finding an original magazine and some cheap original furniture.

>nice
>a nice overly expensive surp
>a nice shot out barrel
>a nice open action that poops unburnt powder into your eyeballs
>a nice free floating firing pin in an unfinished hole that has a propensity to stick in the forward position
>nice
Fucking no guns.

Lucky you, I just bought a ruger american rifle at Gander because the closing sales are Fucking Nuts, got home with the sealed box and the fucking magazine is gone, now i gotta drive the fuck back there. I'm gonna see if I can get some free ammo out of this, such bullshit.
>>34823997
Ok dude, if ur still here, i went through the same thing, bought a russian sks and wanted to leave it be, but the follower spring in the magazine was weak and wouldn't load after the 2nd round. Had to buy a new magazine for it
Then the new magazine didn't fit, I found out i had to fit it. I will draw a pic 4 u.
Remove the red part in pic, there is the bit of plastic that holds the top bullet in, it drops off towards the front, that slope stops the bolt from going down and locking in, so remove it so that that plastic part has a steep drop off
>>34824112
clean your fucking gun, don't leave that rust on there.
>>34827129
>once was cheap
>check the bore before you buy faggot
>never had to experience this. I shoot with glasses on, like you should. faggot.
>clean your bolt
>ye iz breddy nice
thanks dad
>>34823997
it's not a poverty gun you dumb cuckold, you fucking ruined a historic milsurp that there is only a limited number of left by adding nigger tier tapco to it
>>34827296
>well it used to be so it gets a pass
>check every bore. Every bore is shit
>getting pelted in the face with hot gas is nice as long as you're wearing glasses, that's why I have a chubby girl face sitting fetish
>have to oil a failure of a feature weekly to make sure it doesn't rust because it's a drilled hole
>needing dad to tell you this is bad
Shooting an Sks is like drinking cheap liquor. When you're young it's just the raddest shit. Then as you get older and try better things, you realize it's just kinda shit. Also like drinking at a young age, it's usually your dad who tries to warn you, then it's your dad who shows you the error of your ways.

>he can't appreciate the simpler things in life
my dad loves my SKS btw, it only took him one clip's worth of 7.62x39 for him to drive down to the gun store a few days later and get one for himself. He's a turbo-fudd who messes around with $5000+ range queens but he can still understand the fun in annihilating a row of tin cans at 50 yards.
