Best is the factory magazine.

factory box mag using stripper clips to load works best. Also, look up video on how to disassemble and clean bolt; the SKS is prone to slamfire if any cosmoline or crap is left inside the bolt.

You got one heck of a deal, that's for sure.

I'd be interested in seeing what you got, and the fixed box mag is the best someone here probably has a spare lying around.

eBay will probably have some of the original fixed box magazines. That’s what you want.
If the scope mount is integrated to the dust cover it is aftermarket and I would ditch that and look for an original one also. |

You need another top cover as well, the scope mount is attached to it. Takes one minute to swap out.
Back to mags, use only the factory 10 rounder for flawless function. Even the cloned star 2o's can be problematic. Learn to use stripper clips, to speed up reloading if that is your thing. The SKS is made for it. |

Yeah I agree with the top cover I YouTubed how to take the thing apart and clean it which I did right when I got it to make sure the thing wasn’t rusting on the inside. Overall the inside looked brand new mot even broken in yet. There was some rust on the outside that I’m working on getting rid of with gun oil and some scrubbing because it wasn’t stored properly.

After you click “reply”
Instead of clicking the picture icon , scroll down to the box that says “select file” Select your image . Then hit the box next to it that says “upload”. Then post . If you still have trouble, send me an IM and I’ll help. |

Don't mean to be the oddball here, but I've had very good luck with the tapco 20 round duck-bill mags. Never a jam or misfire, ever. Still have the original 10 round mag though.
A good SKS is hard to beat, and you got a great deal at $175. Had a guy at a pawn shop tell me they never pay or allow more than $200 on any SKS, but they resell them for up to $450+ |

Same, I picked up a Chinese in a Monte Carlo stock with a broken Tapco mag at a yard sale for $40.
Picked up a new Tapco 20 and a 10 round John Madden mag. The Tapco ran fine, the JM was junk. I put the Tapco follower in the JM, that helped but still not 100%. I still bought an unissued factory 10 round mag, if you like running stripper clips like I do that loads smoother than modifying a Tapco. Shooting from a tabletop it’s easier to load strippers from the top than changing a duckbill mag. Easy to swap between the two so it’s still nice to have a hi cap option. |

Did the top cover resolve the issue?
