SKS-KD with wood stock and metal AK magazine pre oreder

[theoneofthechuck]

Well, got my hands on an SKS-KD, (Love this rifle) and was finally able to see if the sevensixtwo mag release fits and would possibly hold the magazine in place. Ran into a few snags though.

Here's the trigger group as it comes out of the rifle

Trigger group with the sevensixtwo mag release side by side (yes I got camera happy sorry)

And two pics of the release that comes with it installed

Now, the biggest problem that I found is that it looks to have a modified or custom spring. The ends micd at approximately 5.89mm and 5.63mm. The hole in the mag release micd at 5.23mm or 5.32mm I can't remember. Will show it in the pics to follow but the spring looks a little out of shape, leading to the messed up numbers. Might see if I can find another spring to replace it with and see if that works.

will see if I can find a replacement spring, but in the meantime I shall reinstall the mag release and when I go back home give an update as to whether the mags properly lock in or not ^.^

Hope this helps
