SKS Bench-Gun Just For Fun

I've always figured that the (tapped on)muzzle assembly in itself made the rifle unsuitable for any sort of accuracy. I've wondered what difference a one-piece barrel would make

There are several components on the barrel in which I wanted to eliminate from the equation. Lots of crap messin with harmonics on an sks barrel.
 
Wow, nice job.
I like when people think out side of the box and make it happen.
Looks great, I like the look of the big azz barrel. I'd be right happy with groups like that.
The straight pull wouldn't bother me one bit on a rifle like this.

You should add the bayonet...:HR: JK.

I'd like to see a video of the straight pull in action.

Good job!

Bayonet? You mean monopod. Lol
 
Why not?

Yeah, you never know when you might need a bayonet.
Or a horse?

BTW-- I think your project is wonderful. Great imagination.

Not that I have noticed, but I haven't really messed with it enough to truly find out. I dont usually shoot with the crazy long shades on the scope either. Lol

The jump to lands is something I hadnt thought about much..........kinda makes accuracy a non starter without rebarrelling. Im still confused about the action though....unless Im missing something...it still opens from inertia?
 
Not at all. Think of a 59/66 with the gas shut off. The very nature of the bolt and carrier design will not permit the action to cycle unless the carrier is pushed to the rear taking the bolt with it. Its impossible for the bolt to be driven rearward and take the carrier with it. Make sense?
 
Ill just quote this from a post made by the creator of this barrel. It gives insights on the factory chamber.


The SAAMI specs on the reamer throat is very simple. The reamer cuts a .3138# "lead" diameter imediately foward of the casing mouth. From the caseing mouth, that .3138 cut is a straight taper of 1 degree to .300 ( I.D. of the lands).# It takes a distance of .730 for the initial .3138 "lead diameter" to stop cuting the 1 degree angle into the bore and lands.# I examinded and mic-ed 12 factory loadings. All the bullets no matter what grain appeared to have the same bullet side wall geometry foward the caseing mouth. This means all the various factory loads will use the same factory "ogive" distance of .175" . The ogive is the distance the bullet moves from its position in the caseing to contacting the lands. The bench loaders NEVER, NEVER start working up a "target Load" with a .175 ogive. It is typicaly .035 for a starter and then with the desired velocity at hand, they close that .035 or .040 (at most) ogive distance to a sweet spot somewhere between the .035 and .000 (land contact). Different powder and bullet wieghts react somewhat differently in starting chamber pressures depending on the "ogive" distance.

Out of the 12 factory loads there were 6 different bullet diameters used. Fiocchi 123g,FMJ of .308 to Herters 154g,SP of .311. The majority being .310.
The factory Lead Diameter of .3138 is so freakin large that you need a long throat to get back down to bore diam. That is the only place the Clymer tech would modify the reamer. He would recut the lead diameter to a smaller diam but refused to change the 1 degree angle. I wanted to still end up with a chamber safe to use all the various factory loadings but not Mack Truck mil spec. So I may just let them recut the lead diameter to .3112 with the same 1 degree angle. That alone should cut the ogive length by .075, leaving .100 of jump. Still not exactly what Im after, but heading in the right direction. Its only $35 bucks to have it recut.
# Sorry to interject all this into your post, but this may be your end of the day holy grail. I originaly thought I had a .150 ogive but remeasuring it in a brand new Yugo barrel like yours and an old shot out one, I came up with a ogive of .175 in both chambers. to illustrate this, the round at the top is factory live and the bottom one is unfired, powder removed and the bullet is exactly up to where the lands begin to touch the jacket. behold, an ogive of .175......

Oh yes, of course.
 
For those of you who remember the 1000yard AK from "Son of Gun" episodes? I'm sure if someone wants to put the time and money could get a 1000yard SKS semi auto with a heavy barrel.

Laff.. I remember that 'sons' of guns episode. They also failed to mention the caliber or how many shots it took at 1000 etc. There is already the SVD, Saiga etc anyhow. I have no intentions of selling this or making any more, yet alone calling it a "game changer". Roflmfao. Anyone can rechamber, add a quad rail, bipod, and change the stock on an AK. The child molestator owner was also calling "hits" on a cardboard target on the opposite side of a car with the naked eye. LOL 1k yards my azz

Again, I made this for fun and to see what x39 can do when eliminating variables. I may rechamber to Grendel once I have my fill of x39 throught it.
