sks conversion to take ak mags

[driller212]

Im sure about a billion people have asked this question but i couldnt find the threads. can i convert my regular norinco sks to be able to take ak-47 magazines? Is it a possible/reasonable option?

Thanks, please no hostility.

It's possible but not advisable.

99% of people won't be able to do it properly. You will #### up a perfectly good gun.

Even if you do manage to pull it off, and it works, you gain absolutely nothing. Reloading will actually be slower.

In short, don't bother.

if you really want one, sell yours and buy a D or M model.

armedsask is right about mags being slower for reloads than stripper clips, what he didnt mention is the price can get kinda retarded on AK mags too.

Search for SKS-D.

These are a batch of factory modified Norinco rifles made to take AK mags. That batch came in maybe 8 years ago and there aren't going to be any more (as far as anyone knows). Existing ones are pretty expensive now, $400+++

Yep. Make it a SKS-D or stick with the stripper load configuration.
