SKS Snow job

I'm not against your point but I call major BS on more LE made than SKSs... Russia and China for sure produced much much more of those guns than UK and Canada may have.

Numbers I found states 17 millions LE and around 15 millions RUSSIAN sks... Count all the others country that pruduced them or just think of Yugo and China...


Btw, I think the paint job looks cool and different. Not a fan of the flush mag tho but to each their own.

You can believe what you want, but that 15 million number is not just the Russian SKS. That's all the variants combined.

Got it at That Hunting Store in Richmond for about 17 bucks and it added 1 inch to the LOP, it's both a slip on and screwed as well so it covers the end very well. They are made by Leapers UTG.

They are a great store, aren't they? Bought my wife a bow there a little while ago, $40 less than Cabela's, plus they set it up for her, gave her a free practice session and a!whole bunch of pointers.
 
Looked at a couple SKS at local CANADIAN TIRE this a.m. they are selling SKS with the TIMBERsomething stocks.thumbhole and monte carlo BUT at $400+ yours looks a lot better to me... good job.

I wanted to do something with the existing stock on this mod. As usual, I cut the barrel to 19" and removed all excess bayonet and accessories. I also cut the magazine flush to give a more streamline shape. Made fiber optic sights front and back. Added a 1 inch butt pad and a metal handguard. The paint job came out not too bad. I used cedar leaves as a pattern. Had a spare sling strap from another stock so I added it to the forearm.

???????????what is that GREEN Plastic thing on your Rear SIGHT ?????

What I did was mill out two holes as close to the top as possible for the fiber optic rods and increased the size of the v of the rear sight to make a u shape and much deeper to align with the front sight elevation. Then is was simply a matter of inserting two pieces of green rod and epoxied them into place. Red front and green rear makes for a very fast pickup.

I am also one of those who prefer a regular SKS... but... I have to say I like this! Really did a good job IMO... it's when the SKS gets tacticool that I really cringe.
 
Really nice job, looks very clean.
So, what did you do to cut down the mag? I'm thinking I like that look, and since we are limited to 5, why not!

You first scribe the interior box and cut it flush with the stock leaving just about 3/16" of the tab that holds the clamshell together and then you cut the bottom cover leaving enough meat to form a tab to catch the release lever. Again, if you wish I can post pictures tonight when I get home. It's easier to show than to tell.
