    $99 is pretty good deal.
    Look I am not advocating doing it without knowing what you are doing first. But there is tons of info you can READ and figure it out pretty quick. The operating principles of a SKS trigger are far from complicated. Also a file was never near any that I have done, you are removing tiny amounts of metal at a time, checking fit and then taking a bit more off. Many SKS rifles come with a trigger that has bad sear engagement in the first place, several I have done I have made them safer to use, not the other way around.
    I like guns....

    I'm with you. The sks has a very easy to work on trigger, and YouTube and the interwebz has all the info one would need to do it properly, including lots of safety warnings about what NOT to do. Plus, if you fkk it up, you can buy a new sear.

    Trigger Job = $99
    Barrel Shortening + Crown and polish $99.99
    Magwell install = $249.99
    sks optic rail = $99.99
    magazine adapter = $$199.99
    3 X LAR 15 pistol mags were $32.99 each
    the sks itself = $229.99
    Vortex strikefire II = $279.99
    STI Strikeforce Stock = $149.99

    And I cant for the life of me remember what I paid for the cerakote. I am thinking around $300 but could be off quite a bit. I tend to spend money like a drunken pirate on shore leave after plundering some booty.

    Somewhere in the tune of $1700(ish) clams

    1. treat it as if it is loaded
    2. only point at things you are wiling to shoot
    3. keep your booger hook off the bang switch until ready to fire
    4. know your target and what's behind it

    There are many mechanical things that I CAN do-but there are some that I trust only to people with expertise in the subject-trigger work being one- if a Timney-or other drop-in-was available for an sks -I would install it myself- filing/modifying the original-with the possible safety repercussions ? I'll pass thank you...

    I have done the same. Very fine sandpaper from starting from 400 to over 1200+ then polish. Removing a stuck pin can bend the "wings" so I made a block out of a big nut that was filed down to fit tight between the wings. Tested by cocking the SKSs and slamming the butt down on a covered concrete floor 10+ times to check.

    I have done triggers on all of my Mosin now they are smooth as but..tar. Patience is the key.
