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

Hey guys,
A while ago I wanted a bit of a "tactical" semi auto and couldn't afford an AR. So I spent a few hundred on an SKS and did it up a little. Chaote stock (& scope rail), had it threaded for a suppressor (an MAE 30 cal can). The red dot was pretty quickly swapped out for a short 2-10x scope because my eyesight is terrible.





I stripped it back to be a standard sks a couple years ago, but now I'm in the same position again so am thinking of re-doing it for goats.

My question is, has anyone over here done a magazine conversion to a standard SKS to take the tapco 5 shotters? If so what was involved?

I'm looking at Natchezss thinking I can just about get everything I need for the build for a tiny fraction of what it'd cost me here, and last time I asked the arms officer said it's ok to import a mag if it's legal capacity (I still might go and ask for an import permit just in case).
