...... Monitoring this thread.

Interesting. Was it difficult finding a barrel that you could work with?

>>35115376
How capable is the SKS action and barrel of handling .308? I'd think the much higher energy cartridge would cause issues.

>>35115450
Dunno about action, but he obviously at least replaced the barrel.

Nah i'm just fuckin with y'all. A G3 mag fits in the body of an SKS-M if you smack it.

Shame really.

>>35115462
Fuck you

>not knowing the "for export only" models are fucking trash in terms of build quality

Bad woodwork, finish that is bad and/or flakes off, cast sights, and so on.

>>35115450
The action itself is fairly strong, the Fal uses the same sort of tilting bolt, and not to mention the sks is a smaller anti tank rifle.

>>35115666
People have gotten FAL lowers to fit onto an Sks before.

>enlarging the reciever

Who falls for this shit?

>>35115922
If I remember this thing correctly it's easier than you would expect to build an SKSAL. It takes machining and welding skills bit nothing near the level required to build a whole new rifle or anything. I'll have to hunt around and see if I have the pictures the guy posted when he built the gun.

>>35115457
M8 is that supposed to be b8

>>35115376
very cool you have to machine the receiver a bit to fit the bigger cartridge what about the bolt face and op rod and recoil spring?

Please do. I've seen it around but never a build guide. I kinda want to put one together from spare parts

>>35115929
the first Grizzly LARs and Coonan Automags were built by rewelding two cut up 1911 frames

>>35116121
1911's don't lock to the reciever, so welds wouldn't compromise the strength of the gun. An SKS has a tilting bolt, meaning that the bolt locks to the reciever.

>>35116573
lots of guns are rewelded all the time from cut receivers
