Dan, the Yugoslavian SKS Model 59/66 was made with a grenade launcher. There is a gas cut-off switch for use with grenades that allows it to be used as a "straight pull" rifle. However, this is not a permanenent change, the rifle is still "semi-automatic".
You could weld the gas cut-off switch in the closed position, but only your local government can decide if that would be legal where you live.

Can you own a pump action magazine fed rifle? Remington makes one in 223 that takes AR15 magazines and Century made a pump action AK47.
I have not seen a straight pull SKS.0 -
I see you are from Iceland. I've actually been to your country, and I've even eaten the svid (so you know I'm brave [;)]). Sorry to hear about the economic problems there.
To answer your question, most semi-automatic guns can safely be turned into manual repeater guns by removing or disabling a part or two.
If you take an ordinary SKS rifle, then remove the gas piston, you're left with a gun that has to be manually cycled, like a bolt action.
If your SKS gun has a gas valve for shooting grenades (like the Yugoslavian SKS rifles), you can turn it on and get the same effect, though doing it this way may not be legal since it would be easy to make the gun semiautomatic again.
Without going into detail, there are ways to turn AK rifles or AR-15 type rifles into single-shot guns too.
I don't know about Icelandic law, so a possible problem is that it might not be legal for you to import ANY of these guns into Iceland.
I'd suggest finding a good hunting or shooting club in Iceland and talking to some members there. The ones who shoot a lot will probably know what guns are legal.
Personally, I'm not sure I'd bother trying to turn an SKS rifle into a manual repeater. SKS rifles are heavy, not very accurate, and difficult to mount a scope onto. If you need to manually cycle the gun in between shots, in my opinion, you'd be better off with an ordinary bolt action gun in 7.62x39.
For example, there is a Serbian Mauser type rifle made by Zastava in 7.62x39, and that's a relatively nice gun. In the USA, its imported by Remington and called the model 799. There is a Czech made rifle, the CZ527 that takes 7.62x39, also.

Let me check around a little. I know several gunsmiths and machinists who are very good. Another person is nononsense who is on this forum...I am sure he would help with a name or two. 0 -
The problem is not welding a part, it is finding a US exporter willing to handle the shipment of a MILITARY SURPLUS firearm to another country. This link to a US exporter shows how difficult AND EXPENSIVE it will be, assuming that it is possible:

I believe that the only way you will be able to get any military surplus firearm is through a dealer/importer in your own country.
