Modifying An SKS

[Loose-Cannon]

What would you guys/gals say is the best modifications that can be done to this sks?

Im thinking....

Barrel chop to 16"
Threaded flash hider or brake?
Drop-free bolt mod
Drill/Tap side mount PU style scope and mount
Extended mag release

Guess that leaves me to the stock options which there is many? Perhaps just Bull-Pup the sucker? What say you?

The 'before' shots....

 

[Chas59]

No mods really necessary, perhaps extended mag release. Your bolt looks pretty grungy, unless that's grime in the pic, otherwise I would polish it up a bit.

 

[PinkyPlinker]

Whoa.

Carve an image of Fat Kimmie into the stock.

Edit - I've only seen a receiver cover up here.

The Gen2 version of our extended mag release should be ready shortly and should be a nice addition for a lightly modded SKS.

I would also suggest our Raveneye peep sight if you want to improve performance without adding a ton of stuff to your rifle.

 

[FarmerDanz]

Extend the stock. Maybe an xcr mag mod. Enjoy.


Texas?? Tapco mag would be an idea, too.

That's a North Korean SKS... I highly doubt the OP has any intention of modifying it.

I'm still in awe.

I was going to say you can't cut the barrekl to 16 in, but than I see you are in Texas, that bolt looks like pitting on it.
What happened to the serial #?

Don’t do anything it looks good and that doesn’t look typical. If it really is a North Korea Sks you have a very rare one please don’t ruin it

Based on his other posts I think your right

X2 cmon guys haha

 

[nick237]

On second thought you should deactivate it and make it into some liberal art or a wall hanger who needs an Sks anyways lol but in all seriousness that would be just as bad as modding it lol

 

[ComradeVlad]

Considering the OP is from Texas, my recommendation would be leave the poor SKS alone, buy an AK and never look back....

 

[bp2626]

Oh my.. that's an SKS I wouldn't mind adding to my collection.

 

[Loose-Cannon]

Alright alright..... Ya got me! Just making sure you guys aint sleeping. Maybe just a trigger job, and a stock refinish?

The smear like effect on the bolt carrier and receiver... Too bad some nimwit smeared blood on it and didn't clean it off. Nothing wrong with the serial.

 

[weasel1]

Trigger only. I'd leave the finish as is.

 

[bobdbldr]

Chop it to 14", and yes add a stock extension of some sort to ugly it up some more! Get rid of the stabby thingy under the barrel too! Some CTC black rust free paint on the stock and,, well, everything, flat black would look cool, just hang it up in the shed and spray till the can is empty! Cut the trigger guard off too, those things are for pansies. Do all that, then you got something!

 

[Loose-Cannon]

Yes! Now we cookin with peanut oil!

How about wrapping the buttstock in paracord then camo plastidip?

It's yours do with it as you wish, modify it make it your own and use the sh!t out of it, that's what it was made for, and they made millions of these things, they are not rare.

Obviously didn't read entire thread. LEAVE IT ALONE, it looks perfect as it should.

 

[PinkyPlinker]

Glitter. It needs glitter. Cover it. Nobody’s done that yet.
