Thread: Anyone done an SKS build? Here's mine.

I want an AK at what they retail for in shit hole countries. But that's the price you pay for a standard of living in a 1st world country - greedy, retarded retailers.

Dammit!

One of these I meant

I read a book recently on the AK. All machine guns from Gatling to the Ak really was the 1st half. Rest was on Kalashnikov.
Is a new one - cant remeber the author as its at home. Called 'the rifle - history of the AK' if I remember right.
For what it said, $400us is about a cheap as they in peace times. If someone is arcing up apparently the price almost doubles.
You can buy a nice 56S here for 1000-1200 all the time

When I get round to doing my E endorsement, one of the first guns I think I will buy will be a minty 56S. Always wanted one.

Where can u get 56s for a grand?

Now those are nice stocks perhaps too good for what goes in them.

I paid $1200 for mine few years ago
They come up at 1000-1200 all the time
All the ones at auction the other month went in that range

Did a bit of work on the SKS today. Got the mags in, worked on the stock a little and got the scope rail installed.











I still have to get the shell deflector installed but that's going to need some modification to work with this mount. May have to see if I can drill & tap the receiver again just for the deflector and chop the deflector up a bit.

Getting there though. It's already threaded for a can. I'm just going to matte black my 30 cal can.

The scope isn't mental high on this either. I was expecting it to be. The low rings help with that.

Looking tidy mate

Nice work guys...

I actually ended up sourcing and buying more wood for my SKK - I melted my plastic stock... yes melted - You could see the barrel actually sinking further and further down into it... mind you, went through 1000 rounds that weekend.... those mags are sooo thirsty!!

Do those Tapco mags work ok?

Someone in NZ has done a magwell conversion for using Styer mags - anyone know who it was?

Styer mags? Didn't think they would feed x39 reliably

Maybe lips were modded, but SURE someone in Nth Island was doing it or did one
I have a million AUG mags and need to use them for something LOL
