Best SKS setup ever !!! UPDATED !!!

[DILLIGAF]

Heading out to the range again... This time just for fun... 1 inch thick aluminum plate @ 100 yard... Will post pics of the damage when I get back.

I wonder how bad the steel cored 762 rounds will crater/put holes in that aluminum. That'll be interesting to see

 

[Satain]

It's like a hot knife threw butter!
But when the SkS ringings the gong it is so much more fun than paper!

 

[Giroux]

When you say a buffer, did you get it from sksman instead of techsights?

 

[DILLIGAF]

This was @ 100 Yards...

 

[supernova]

Hehehehe

I found that at 75yrds my sks goes through 3/8's steel just like butter...

didn't even punch through it.....
I tried something similar years ago, the steel core in the czech x39 ammo is just about as soft as lead, wouldn't punch through 3/8" mild steel at 100m.
Now the core in those silver tip x54r rounds was a different story....

Metal pipe at 100 with X54

Nvm you changed insert size of the aperture so its TS200....


On a sidenote do you suggest the TS200 or would the TS100 be fine?

 

[TikkaG]

very nice!!!!!!

Nice looking SKS Dilligaf! I went with the tritium front sight from SKSMan, he only has a few, but they're kick-ass! I like the steel ventilated hand guards, was there any modification work needed to swap them for the wooden ones?

That is a nice looking gun, and the mods improved its function at low cost. "Looks" are subjective, accuracy is not. I'd work on the trigger next, and consider handloads after that.

P.S. I'm surprised it didn't cut right through that 1" aluminum.

Got it from Tech sights

I have fixed front sight so I had no choice to get the TS200

Well the hand gaurd comes with a cheap pin and some sort of spacer. I junked all of that and just Tac welded it in place. this way it dosent rattle anymore.

I'd work on the trigger next.

I put in an order for some wolf springs last week

the SkS ringings the gong it is so much more fun than paper!

Is it ever... we had 2 sks hitting that target at the same time... way to much fund... spent way to much ammo...

 

[winnipegger]

wow that plate looks awesome man! i like how all the bases of the bullets are showing and intact! what was the hardness of that plate?

 

[DILLIGAF]

I was told that is was 7075 Aluminium

But the fact that it weighs in close to 30 pounds, and its not a fixed target, will affect how the bullet will travel thru it...

Every hit the plate moves back about a foot...

Will make a video next time I hit the range

Looks great and very functional.

 

[ghostntheshell]

I have a set of tech sights I'm going to install soon too. Good to hear they are holding zero! I do need to pick up a front sight tool though.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I went with the tritium front sight from SKSMan,

Hey man can you post a picture

 

[fat tony]

here is the results with surplus ammo... My 100 yard group was 4 inch... Not worth the picture... Just got my 2 inch butt extention. So next time I go out I will try harder at 100y...

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