Finally, no more "frankenpinned - butchered" on Russian SKS mag. base

YES - YES.

Finally, Rusky's made a good job and reduce Simonov SKS magazine capacity to 5 shots without butchered magazine base. Serial number still intact.

I have some very interesting one's for sale in the "Equipment Exchange" section, one dated 1949 and a serial number "1".

Here's a pic.

Much better, though still not as nice as the rod welded to the follower. I only have one franken-pin rifle in my rack, guess it has now dropped significantly in value

 

[Curtton]

i have to agree with claven and it looks very sturdy , not likely to fall off .

And, it can be repaired without damage to the serial number, should the day come... (yeah right, I can dream, can't I?)
