Sks Magazine adapter

I looked at their website and as I understand it, you mean the "AR-15 Magazine Adapter for SKS". So far, I had no idea that something like that existed. IMHO paying $80 for a plastic or $100 for a wood-plastic part is not for my taste. I don't believe that a plastic piece like that would withstand numerous cycles of inserting/removing a magazine without a damage. On top of it, you still have limit of 5 rounds in a magazine but you would have to pay extra $$ for the same final effect.
Unless you have some spare AR-15 mags left after your AR-15 carbine was banned? That may have changed the whole picture if the AR-15 mags are much more expensive that the price of the insert.
Just my 2 cents.
Well, you could use the 10 round XCR pistol mags, so that would be nice. Drop free reloads.
No OP I've never used it. But if you had a pile of XCR 10 round x39 mags, and wanted to blast twice as much ammo before reloading, then this would probably do the trick. Not sure how inserting and removing a magazine would damage well made plastic - AR15 magwells are metal and mags plastic, ACR lower is plastic and takes metal mags and both work without ####ting the bed.
I have a Synthetic stock (ie, only thing left of the SKS is action, trigger assembly and barrel. I bought only the action, trigger and barrel) so I thought a magwell with detachable box magazines would work/look ok as it looks modern anyway. I wouldnt like the look on a stock sks. I've looked at the duckbill magazine but haven't really like them.
I'm fine with the plastic, I'd like metal but I'll take take what I get. The other maker of magazine adapters had alumuinum mags but they looked kinda blocky and looked funny in the adapter. Also they seem to not have any in stock for over 2 years so I guess they arn't making them anymore. Also the metal ones were $200. I can't justify buying a mag adapter for more then I paid for the rifle.

Do you mean that you have an SKS action in the Tapco or ATI stock or something similar? I have two SKS's in the Tapco stocks and I use the duckbill magazines. After a bit of judicious filing they work like a charm. I have both magazine types; pinned 5/20 and regular 5/5. They are made of very stiff/hard plastic and seem to be indestructible. Cheap at slightly over $30.
