SKS Questions?

[Dennis79]

Hey folks, I am fairly new to gun collecting and target shooting so bare with me..

I have purchased an Chinese SKS, shoot it and love it. I have installed the ATI Strike force adjustable stock and love it, how ever in my en devour to get that nasty little pin out of the gas tube, I managed to bugger it up. I mean I cud still do a home fix to get by, but I would rather change it out and buy a new one.

So my 1st Question is any recommendations for where I can get this SKS Gas Tube? Doesnt have to be stock if there are other options. I live just outside of Calgary,Ab. Can order online just cant seem to find one online other then EBAY.

2nd question, I would like to add a scope and mount, something under $100.00 just to get started with, and maybe a laser site and flashlight.

Hopefully something I can get local or order from close by, but anywhere will do really.

Any other ideas are welcome for dressing one up, I may have to buy 1 or 10 more.. lol

Thanks and hope I posted this in or near by the correct thread.

Last I checked Lever Arms had SKS parts available, check them or the EE.

As for the rest of your questions I'm afraid I'm no help. I once bought a Russian in Tapco, not sure what it was about it that I found so offensive I got rid of it in a hurry. Maybe it was the cheap mag or that I found it a pain to properly clean the rifle, can't put my finger on it. How do you find the ATI kit? I have several SKSs, they are an absolute blast and love the platform, I guess I'm more of a purist when it comes to these beauties, to each his own.

Btw welcome to CGN

Awesome Thanks, never heard of Lever Arms, and they got whats I need as far as the gas tube goes. Their Optics are a tad more then what I want at the moment, as far as what I think about the ATI Stock, I really found it easy to install and a great look. Only thing that required some mods was every screw that came with to mount the picatinny's was a 1/8" to short to catch the nut, so I had to remove some material from the picatinny holes. The barrel definitely doesnt slop around like it did in the wood stock, the next one I will most likely leave original, this one the Stock was not in to great of shape.

Anyways Thanks again, still taking input on good starter optics for the SKS.

If you can drill out the buggered pin and PM me your mailing address I have 2 extra spare retainer pins I can send ya. Tap it back in place and you should be good to go. As for gas tube's I would call either marstar or sksman.com. leverarms should have them to instock but I would never tell anyone to go there cause there customer service is doa.
