I picked up an SKS off the EE. Its a beauty non-issued, non-chromed Tula. The only fault it has is a frankenpinned magazine. Just wondering what I should do? I'm really not worried about matching parts, its going to be a shooter. Can I buy a non-frankenpinned mag and just replace it?
Remove frankenpined mag and replace with non-frankenpinned? *sks newbite alert*

Shoot it until the frankenpin works loose, patch and replace. Repeat as necessary.
Or getcherself a nice 5/30 and the pin is no longer an issue at all...
replacing the mag it the route I'd like to take, are there any reliability issues with the aftermarket mags? Do they all accept strippers?
Yes, you can indeed.
Go here to replace with duckbill mag. No modification to your rifle.

I bought 2 of the 5/5 Tapco magazines and the floor plate has cracked already on the one I am using, after about 3 months of use (not very many rounds through it, maybe about 100 -150 rounds). 
If you are talking about a magazine that has a small leg welded onto the arm of the lifter, still making it a 5 round magazine, yes, you can.
If you are talking about a magazine that will accept 10 rounds, you might be a Guest of the Queen, with a lighter bank account, free room, meals, and various supervised activities for the next year or so, yes you still can. A bit risky though.

Just re pin your mag

If the 5/5 mags were sold by TAPCO, they have a lifetime warranty. I told them where I bought it and the invoice number. They sent me a new one,did not even ask for the old one. The 5/5 round Zytel mags were not made by Tapco but were sold by Tapco. Maybe there has been some problems thats why they are no longer on the Tapco site.

eh, probably not worth the effort right now, but I can get the original magazine going anyways.
Pissing people off is a Art form. But there again it is better to be Pissed off than Pissed on.
