Best Detachable mags for SKS?

[Exoticdancerclips]

Archangel mags are the only way to go imo. Done a bunch of them and they’re fantastic. Some rifles require more mods than others.

Yeah my dad has Archangel mags and I like the lever release on them.

5/75 drum. Where did they go?

Promag metal 5/30 are good bodies but the followers are junk

Tapco if youre insisting on the idea of a detachable mag. But the internal mag is quicker to load with stripper clips than the awkward unintended third party mag changes. After the novelty of bubbaing a gun wears off the majority of people realize the rifle was in fact fine all along lol. But again, its your rifle do what makes you happy, can always change it back.

And there's a tiny mod of filing to do to the Tapco mags to accept strippers. And the 'guide slot' on the SKS may need a touch to help them line up if you're loading them 'in situ'.. If you need a quick load-up after dumping all your mags.

Are you able to post a picture?

Hi - These are pics I did back in'20, and I saved the link to the thread on sksboards .com, too. Link here - http s://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=43825.0
I can't find the link describing the 'shoulder mod', maybe it was just in a thread I can't find. I've done it to all my mags and No probs inserting so that may be all it's good for, or there may be a second reason. If I find info I'll Update.
HA ! - UPDATE same time,same station - I found the 'shoulder mod' - it's for Russian stocks (which I had when I found this mod) but works OK in my Tapco with Russian action - no reason why it shouldn't , I guess, and is also OK in the Chinese FT that's in my Tapco Now. - http s://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=127837.0
Another site with Tons of Info is Yooperj .com ; and at http s://votefordavid.########.com/search?q=sks



V NOTE 'slope' on the back of mag


These last Two are for 'easing' the insertion of the mags into the stocks - 'round the front shoulders'

One more link to add re the Tapco mags. I've never had this prob with 3x SKS I've had, but maybe someone . . . someday ?

The ak conversion was around before the hi cal conversion was

You might be talking about Spectre ballistics mag block mod. I have one. Block is held by a screw that was not reliable at all, at least not on my SKS. Block just kept falling off, since this particular SKS was a bubba project I decided to implement some drastic measures and had a hole drilled through Tapco plastic and mag block. Installed crossbolt in addition to original screw. It works fine. Mags look like that. I believe they are Tapco.
