Thread: SKS Questions

Looking at picking up a 20" SKS when I get back from Fiji or an NHM-90 currently undecided.

Can you still use stripper clips with the compact scopes/red dot sights?

Is it possible to convert the 5rd internal magazine to 7rds?

Ideal setup would be monte carlo stock, 7rd capacity and optics with provision for using stripper clips.

I'm currently selling a tidy unissued decosmolined sks carbine. Suppressed and has a 7 shot internal magazine. Here is the trade me auction number, havent relisted it yet. 872707425

What sort of level does the suppressor take the noise down to?

I haven't tested mod for an actual dB reading or anything but it's certainly noticable. The sks's are fairly loud guns so definitely cuts the 'bang' down.

I was quite impressed shooting rifle with/without mod. Also helped reduce abit of the muzzle flip.

JRW87 I know it might not be exactly what your after but PM me if you're interested.

Cheers, Ill have a think about it.

Yes you can still use stripper clips with short scopes.....I had one, but sold and bought a NHM-90......just because I could

ive got one in my fun cupboard. i put one of the dragunov stocks on it and a cheap red dot. honestly its good fun to blast away with but the stock makes it heavy and i could never get used to the red dot so i put a cheap scope back on it. id keep the wood stock on it or replace with a Monte carlo stock for extra length if ya need it. as for the scope you should be ok as long as it doesnt go to far forward lol. i dont know about the mag capacity as mine was advertisied as 5rds but whoever cut the mag didnt do it right so it holds 6 hahahha. im getting an nhm shortly just waiting on the mailman now.

You just described my SKS.


It's not for sale, but if you're up my way(Dorkland), you're welcome to take a look.

I wouldn't mind taking a look I want to put one of those stocks on mine

or you can do it this way. The receiver cover has two little guide pins that take the side to side slop out. The monte carlo stocks are good, the extra length does it, but they are heavier than the original.

Im 6'3 so think an extra 25mm LOP would be handy.
