SKS question
I don't know anything about an SKS.
How do you convert a fixed mag to a detachable 30rd mag or don't you?
I'm thinking about buying an SKS to keep in the trunk of my car because they are so cheap and I already have a couple thousand rounds of 7.62x39 ammo.

I'm going to buy an SKS for my Christmas present to myself.
I have a choice of an older Norinco with matching numbers or a new Yugo SKS. They each cost the same, $139. I imagine I can put a bayonet on the Norinco, but not the Yugo. This rifle will be for behind my truck seat.
Please give me the Pros and Cons on the Norinco and the Yugo.
Which would be your choice and why? Remember...Terrorist are attacking Civilians; Not the Government. Protect Yourself!

My two cents worth... The rifle you have was made in 1993. It was imported with the thumbhole stock for legality. It was made from the ground up to take an standard AK mag (stick/banana, not drum). It will not have the standard slot for the stripper clip in the bolt carrier. The bolt itself is standard SKS. It will not have a hold open system, like a standard SKS. The gun will have the shorter 16.5 (approx) barrel. Where there would normally be a bayonet lug, there is a stud that has a spring loaded piece that applies upward pressure on the cleaning rod to hold it in place under the barrel.
The trigger group will differ from a standard SKS in that the mag release will be a toggle rather than a sliding latch. The trigger guard itself will most likely be stamped, (very few, if any had milled trigger guards on the detachable mag model sporters). As for the receiver, yes it is milled, but then again ALL SKS's have milled receivers. AK's can have milled or stamped, but SKS's only have milled (receivers). Their trigger guards were available in milled or stamped, but the receivers were always milled. Their barrels could be screwed in or pinned in. The earlier guns (from China) had the milled trigger guards and the screwed in barrels. The later guns had a mix. The Sporter model almost always had the pinned in barrel. As the Russian (late 1940's thru mid-1950's), Romanian (late 1950's thru early 1960's), Yugoslav, Albanian, etc. were earlier production guns, they will all have the milled trigger guards.
If there is any other specific questions regarding your gun I can answer, let me know. LRARMSX@MCHSI.COM0 -
Yep, its going to be a SKS-D or SKS-M model. The late preban ones have no bayo lug but a spring dentent to hold the cleaning rod in. Also Lrarmsx, there are stamped receiver SKS rifles out there, really rare but you do find 'em occasionally.

I guess in the 1000 plus that I have handled, I have never encountered one. I started selling them back in 1986 and have been since, Chinese, Russian, Romanian, Yugoslavian, Albanian... In all this time I've never encountered a stamped SKS receiver. If they do exist they aren't just uncommon, they are extremely rare. I've even handled they .22LR SKS and .223/5.56mm SKS from China, but I've never seen a stamped one. 0 -
Yep, Norinco made a few. Only in 7.62 I believe.
