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.

How can you tell if a sks sporter is actually a sporter or just a type 56 that has been converted to accept the ak mags? I have seen several thumb-hole stock sks sporters and also own one(thumb-hole stock). Mine as well as all the ones I have seen say sporter on the receiver. Reason I am asking is because I was at a gun show and a guy was telling me that the gun he was selling was bought new in the box with the standard stock and was a sporter...Model D, whatever you want to call it. It's common knowlege that sporters were sent out from the factory with different style stocks including the standard type 56 stock. Anyway, I noticed it did not say sporter on the receiver. I had never seen a sporter without the thumb-hole stock in person before so I did not know rather or not those were also marked sporter on the receiver. So does anybody know if they made sporters that did not say sporter on the receiver? I passed on the deal because I believe that all sporters will say sporter on the receiver. Less than 2 mins later he sold it to a dealer. I then ask the dealer and he said he did know really know the answer, that he just bought it because it would take the ak's mage and 7 mags went with it, and the price was right. So do all sporters say sporter on the receiver? 0 -
Well, the CAI does give it away. One of about a gazillion SKS's imported by good old Century Arms.

Bringbacks are not uncommon, but MUCH less commonly encountered than the commercial imports.I have had ONE bona fide bringback SKS and I have seen one other. A bringbback will have no import marks. It will also bring more money than a commercial import, especially if the papers are with it.I would also be very surprised to find that a Romanian SKS was ever used in Viet Nam. The only ones I have seen were Chinese.

Saw a bring back, with papers go for eight hundred and something dollars a few days back. Gunbroker auction. I have been searching for one for years now with no luck. Then once I finally find one it brings a mint. Over-priced now but down the road the guy that bought it will have a jewel. Wish I was not so tight with money. Would have loved that baby. Gun broker is definitely a sellers market.........no doubt about it. 0 -
I would have to agree,most SKS rifles used in Viet Nam were Chinese or Russia made.Romanian is found alot in gun shows all across country.I think you have a regular SKS there. I have a Russian made in mid 50's with the blade bayonet.I bought mine new a couple years ago.A fun gun!Chinese made are stamped steel and Russian made are machine milled.Russian as I understand are better made,that was why I bought a Russian made SKS.I have updated with Monte Carlo stock,& scope.I use detachable mags now.

I would bet that less than 1/2 percent of all the SKS's in this country are true bring backs. Your with the CAI .... on the barrel absolutely positively is not a bring back from Vietnam, sorry. It is just another of the many guns that Century Arms has imported into this country. That does make it any less of a shooter however. I just hope you didn't pay a collector's price for it. 0
