metric, same as AKLooking through the thread: did we get a clear idea of what the thread pitch is on the barrel? Curious about potential muzzle devices...
You utilize your weekend hand to release the magazine / I spent quite a bit of time playing with it and was able to become proficient relatively quickly both from strong & weak side manipulation of the magazine release .... yes that's my ugly mug in the photos ...

This is based on a SKS receiver in an aluminum modular chassis. It features flat top picatinny with keymod slots at 3, 6 & 9 o'clock. It accepts XCR-L magazines and features ambidextrous AR15 style magazine release. Barrel has been threaded & cut to 18.5" in length. It also comes with AR15 pistol grip and M4 buttstock. This rifle is lighter than a SKS by half a pound. It's available in both black and FDE as shown.
Please contact your dealer to order. Thanks.

Where are you getting that info? I use 7.62x39 xcr mags all the time in my ar(chambered in 7.62x39) and in my sks(magwell adapter installed) and have never had an issue. Flawless feeding every time.
I do not understand,
this chassis for SKS-45 ?
This is what we are being offered now under the existing FRT#.
To redesign the platform would need a new FRT#???
Anyone know?
... but at this price point it's hard to beat.
No, it's not.
An encased SKS requiring tools to disassemble before you can disassemble the actual action and requiring the suggested use of non-corrosive ammo which defeats the purpose of buying an SKS in the first place will get old very quickly.
IMHO, this gun took away the best reasons for owning an SKS in Canada and added $650 to the price tag.
The engineering, material, machining and assembly cost is certainly worth $650. If you can produce something for less without considerate modification to the base rifle have at it. I think you're missing the target market of this rifle...
