CZ Banna Clip conversion on SKS?
- Thread starter trekstor
- Start date
Everyone starts with mods like this. I look back on the things I did and wanted to do and just shake my head. As far as I can tell, all the negative comments are just poking fun. But to the OP, I only recommend that you dont alter the rifle permanently. Keep the original parts and use only bolt on aftermarket parts so when you decide (like I did) that SKS's are best the way they came (except for that baby-saver pin) you can still return it to its original glory.
Here are couple of our sponser's Banna Clip mag's that you can buy for the SkS

The only mod really needed fo the SKS is to strip the shellac finish off as it will start to chip, even this is not really important. Lots of seriouse shooter will tell you that those plastic stocks are not very good, look cool but thats about it. The SKS will function best as an SKS, all those after market crud will just make it heavey and will probably make it even worse. Buy a 858 for the tacticool experience.
Does not matter how cool your honda civic looks and sounds, under all that prettiness its still a honda civic, so don't expect to see F1 performance out of it.
And the only clips the CZ/AK/SKS take are 10 round stripper clips, unless you mean the magazine, then its gonna take a lot of fiddling to mod an SKS.

So are your comments that are being made through experience or from hear say? There are many mods that can be done to enhance the performance of the SKS. Stock modification for egonomics " Lengh of Pull" , not all after market stocks increase weight. Trigger work is the biggest performance enhancement you can do. If your budget allows you to buy a 858 then go for it, but I would think twice about buying a overpriced 858, when you can enjoy shooting cheap surplus ammo with a SKS dressed the way you like it........

Overpriced, eh? The CZ family of rifles is easily the best deal in Canada, and possibly North America right now for a centerfire semi-automatic rifle. They're good quality, solid rifles that shoot cheap-ass ammunition with reasonable accuracy. And the price that we pay here is exceptionally good. Just take a look at what the Americans have to pay as MSRP:

The only thing I would do to one is put a tapco stock on it and some tech sights,
not an accurate enough rifle for glass, not worth the price of a mount and a scope really.
Oh, and a few crates of surplus 7.62X39.

If it wasn't a prohib avatar I'd take it myself. I'll stick with the non-restricted avatar for now.This ^^ is avatar worthy
Why not grind the top off the banana mag and JB Weld it onto the original fixed mag? You get the reliability of the stock hardware while still looking like a member of the SAS.
