Kodiak Defence SKS/KD in wood stock econo model.....

[st1264]

A $500 SKS? It's still 5 rounds and AK mags aren't that plentiful. I don't see the point. Won't the Tapco mags do the same thing?

How about one that takes vz 58 mags ..... LOL

Does anyone know if these SKS's work well with chinese AK mags? Like the 5 round shortys for the SKS-D's?

Looking at the price now it doesn't seem to unreasonable and I think some people will buy them. I'll stick with my D's though.

Ill stick with my D as well

All my factory 5 rounders work well but cause me grief once in a while. But The Magpul AK mags are more reliable.

They work fine on mine but with 5 rounds in them there is no extra give in the spring so can't seat mag home with the bolt closed. I just pull bolt back and it snaps into place, let go of the charging handle and have one ready to go in the chamber. Not a problem for me at the bench but could see it being a hassle for someone freestanding.

Thanks ljones,

I have to do the same thing with my MC5D...pull the bolt back before inserting the mag.
