Take a look at your bedding, if you have not already. It makes a difference.

After my trigger job, I will look into it... But I have never done it. so would I be better off sending it out to get it done ... ? Where would be the best place ? and how much im I looking at
 
All you have to do is get some HVAC tape and build up the receiver tang in the rear with successive pieces until you have to tap the barreled action home when you put the stock back on. :) Also you can get gasket paper, maybe the stuff with cork and rubber in it *thinnest stuff you can get* and experiment with that. I used the thin gasket paper without the cork/rubber (not on the rear tang) and it is holding up okay so far.

I have an Acraglass kit sitting around, but so far I have not used it to do a bedding job. Some day I am going to install my Fibreglass stock and bed it on to my Russian SKS.

- The gasket paper is more or less a cut / fit / try sort of deal. It was used in olden times to competition bed .303 rifles for service rifle matches etc.

It sort of reminds me of the M1 carbines with the sheet metal ventilated handguards.

Nice job. Looks way better than the tapco or ATI setups.
 
On the weekend, I managed a 5" 15 round group @ 50 yards offhand with my Russian SKS. I am not so good with off hand as I wish I could be, I have heard of people who do the running boar matches who can do a group like that at 400 yards :eek: but I digress. next time I am at the range I am going to bring front and rear bags and shoot some groups @ 100 and maybe 200 yds.
 
I found these while surfin SKSboards

Murray Hammer/Sear/Trigger set......

w ww.murraysguns.com/922r.htm

has n-e one tried these ?
 
Yeah... Still waiting for my wolff springs so I can do the trigger job myself.

But if all else fails I got something to fall back on.... lol....

But I did buy a buch of stuff for my trigger Job... Files, Rubber grips for my vise, a longer punch... a square stone... would of been cheaper to get the murray shear... lol ...
 
This was my 50 yard offhand group from the other day.

I would prefer to be able to shoot offhand groups like that @ 100 yards. I seem to recall we were able to get about 6-8" groups (just enough to fire one match) with our 'carrying handle' C-7's offhand @ 100 yards.
 
My best grouping with the old style C7 was 23mm @ 100, with the elcan scope C7A2 @ 200 I get just under 2 inch groupings...

Hope to do better next week when we hit the range again...
 
Nice shooting DG. I'm interested in your rear sight, but I have lost my "close up" vision. I have to wear reading glasses even to use the computer. I'm worried that having a sight that close to my eye would just be a big blur. Maybe not.
Have you got any friends, parents, old geezers around with the same kind of vision as me that could look down the rifle and see if they could sight it?
 
Another upgrade that I would perform to the gun, if it was me, is to install a spring loaded firing pin, so that it won't ever slam fire. Its too bad that the 1949 and 1950 model years of SKS rifles did'nt come with a chrome lined barrel because they already have the spring loaded firing pin.
 
^This spring thing is un-necessary imo. The M-1 does not have a return spring for the firing pin either, and I have exclusively shot Winchester factory ammunition (soft primers, flush with head of cartridge)and things are just peachy. I think thorough cleaning of the SKS is called for, though. ;)
