    SKS upgrades

    HI John and Marstar fans !

    I will be buying a Chinese SKS in a week or so off you guys.

    Which muzzle break and red dot recticle would be the best to add to this rifle?

    The guys off Milsurp kicked me out for posting in the wrong section(rightly so)

    Please help if you can.

    Price isnt an issue, but hopefully the red dot will be under $125

    thanks

    Post in the red rifles section.

    Yes. The "Red Rifles" forum is where you need to start hanging out.

    Having just bought your first SKS, you will make friends very quickly.

    Don't need a muzzle brake. Small red dot like an aimpoint would do fine if you want to spend that kind of money on one for an SKS.

    That's not a big surprise...
    Red-Rifles section is more suited for modified Milsurplus rifles.
    Milsurp is more for Purists and Collectors !!!

    For the muzzle, IMO sks don't need a M/B.
    It just don't fit well...It just look wrong.
    Except if its a Yugo
    But if you really want to put one, i will suggest you a AKS-74 style muzzle.
    They look good and people say they really reduce recoil...

    Look this Canadian seller, he have gr8 stuff for SKS's (and other rifles) and its a gr8 guy to work with.

    www.hical.ca

    AKS-74 Sty;e Muzzle Brake :

    Threaded version...You can have it LH and RH threaded



    Pin-On version :



    And finally the Clamp-On version :



    And my favorite is this one, reduce the recoil a little bit and its smaller so its not looking too big and wrong...





    Here is my SKS, enjoy and keep us informed about your build...

    Avoid dust cover scope mounts. They look convenient to use but do not hold tight. I prefer to use Choate mounts cause that is what i am used to. Guys have also been happy with BC tactical scout scope mounts from what i have read here. For a red dot I think the drop in BC tac scout mount would be easiest for you to install since you don't have to do any drilling and tapping. You will still be able to use stripper clips to load too which is a great convenience.
