Anyone know what method was used to pin the mags on these latest SKS rifles?

Is a piece of rod welded to the follower arm to limit travel, or is a stud riveted into the bottom of the mag housing like on many Chicom SKS's? Or worst, is a rod pinned transversely through both sides of the mag cover?

My preferred method is the rod welded to the bottom of the follower to limit travel.
 
Edit:

This is the type if follower pinning I prefer:

My norc was a tiny rod right at the base of the follower, but not on the follower itself. On the bottom of the magazine.
 
Not sure what the SIR ones will look like, but this Yugo SKs is unissued, so it is quite nicely stocked. Honestly, the Yugo SKS rifles are the best made and fitted SKS rifles we have ever gotten in Canada - period. If only they had a chromed bore they would be perfect :)

They are even better fit and finished than the Russian SKS's IMHO.
 
Oh, I don't feel bad at all. I never shoot this SKS anyhow, it's just here as part of my Yugo collection. You know, the typical stuff... M24/47, M48, Yugo K98k, M49 and M59.
