sks magazines

[animalamidon]

is it easy (or even possible) to convert an sks to accept sks-D mags? Any ideas would be appreciated.

No.

 

[VooDooMan]

Yes.

Shoot SKS-D mags (AK magazines), no.

Shoot removable magazines, yes (duckbill)

It is possible to convert a standard SKS to take AK mags like a SKS-D, but it is not practical.

Midwest Ordnance in the states actually showed Norinco reps how to do it.

SKS-D conversion.

Are all AK mags standard dimensions?
I seem to recall reading about some versions (maybe Bulgarian or Romanian???) made from a plastic that were different from the original Russian, and not interchangeable.

If so, it would seem to me that any new design of gun chambered for x39 should use AK mags, just as most new 5.56x45 designs use STANAG M16/AR15 mags.

I must have stumped them...

I believe the Bulgarians made single stack poly mags for their AK's. Dont quote me on that though
