I mean really.... what's the point?

100% fail on every level if you ask me

since day one, owners been bubbaing sks to look different or something they are not. yes, i agree these arent pretty but looks aside. imho, i dont see any difference from these to the bubba done at the factory's sks-d. yes, sks-d are bubba too. i have owned several sks-d and some were awful.

the groupings are poor cos the scope is bolted to the wood stock, thats a no no.

Given the amount of work put into that rifle, I'd like to think that he would've fixed the sight to something solid underneath the stock. This doesn't look like the work of some appliance-shooting, Tapco-loving clown with a Dremel and a tube of JB Weld.

thats not what i see in the pic, its bolted to the wood, the wood is not cut around the mount.

besides, behind the wood is the barrel, just in front of the chamber, thats even more of a no no. lol.

come now, lets be real for a minute here...... there is a vast difference between a factory modification to a AK style D model and what we see here in this thread.
Now Murray 3-D's "bubba'd SKS is a work of art and I can see major improvements to the rifle with the laborious path he took. Still not comparable to a factory modification which technically and truthfully is not "bubba work". I don't think I can call Sacha the work of Bubba either as she is a beautiful rifle all around.

actually, you are not being real. you are redefining it based on looks? ofcos you've heard of "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?
bubba means modifying its appearance or to something it is not. sks was never designed to use detachable mag.

when sks-d were first introduced, they were modified from standard sks, thats a bubba... purists were horrified and sounded like you now but as time passes, it became more popular and more accepting but imho its still a bubba.

i dont get it? if murray wants to call his a bubba then its bubba.

To be fair these guns were already bubbad beyond repair when OP got them (i know him and these guns) and not nicely either. He took generically ruined guns and breathed new life into them, making them into unique one of kind rifles that are fun to shoot, interesting to tinker with and talk about. Nothing of value was lost. Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.
 
Glorious...

Curtton and a few others have hate ons for the SKS-D rifles ..... claiming to have owned several and they were junk compared to the fixed mag versions..... ya okay I get it.... you guys don't like D models LOL
Doesn't change the "fact" that I have owned and shot literally dozens of D models since the early 90s. Allan Lever had no qualms about selling them by the pallet..... and we bought them, and shot them and if they were crap.... I personally would have never picked one up again. Sure there were some lemons and sure there were some that were horribly innacurate but in the end if I had my choice, it's a D model all day long because "I experienced the D models differently" than you and a couple others constantly claim.
I once took a D model fresh from the box, decosmolined and ready to rock. On the edge of a cutblock was a footn some inches in diameter, fir tree that was busted off about 20 feet up. I stood there with that D model, a stack of 30 round mags and a case of norinco silverbox and I did not stop firing until that fuggen tree fell down. The gun got super hot and was nearly burning my forhand grip but she never jammed once and I think there might have been 100 rounds left of the case when I was done. We used to torture the hell out of these guns when ammo was cheap and plentiful and a burned out sks could be replaced for just as cheap. I like all sks rifles.... all of em..... but if I wanted an sks for shtf..... I'll take the D all day long.

in the end, my comments about the abortions on page one were not meant to offend anyone.
The OP obviously knew when he posted his 'artwork" that some would like it and some would not. I fall into the would not category but lets not get ruffled feathers over it LOL
 
An SKS is still a fun cheap piece of #### beater gun. I like to call them disposable. I really can't believe the guys knocking the OP for what he did to something that was basically a nothing to begin with.

I think it's awesome he's having some cheap fun with his guns :cheers:
 
man times have changed LOL
when I joined CGN way back in '06 , Bubba was a derogatory word. No one liked or praised the work of bubba LOL
But these days that seems to have changed hehehe

I praise the attempts at making an sks into something else.. I have always been a tinkerer and customizer of my toys.... but still gets a fail from me as far as my tastes go
Years ago I made an M14 into a Super Troopers replica and took it to a gun show where it got scorned LOL It looked so cool I thought but the reaction from most people and especially the ones who seemed to know the m14 a bit, caused me to shelf the idea and go with a more traditional approach LOL
