I like it! Looks like a mod of one of the Chinese thumbhole stocks. I actually *really* like it. Instead of being a beat up stock, he's tried to make something militant, elegant. Oh well, 10' ers. |

I like it.
Throw a regular SKS trigger group and a 5-round flat bottom magazine on there and you have a gun that's legally configured all over the place. Pull out your SKS-M trigger group and the AK Mags you burried in the back yard, and you have a 7.62 spitting machine for times of insurrection. Neat! |

My gut reaction is to say it's probably stolen. For some reason I think someone that could carve a stock that well would write a more legible description.

WTF did he do to the front sight. It looks like it was cut down then they tried to turn into something that you'd find on an '03? Kinda looks like a bead front sight too. I guess the dude refrained from carving notches for each deer kill as far as I can tell. |

Unless that scope mount is mounted to the receiver I don't see how it could stay zeroed. There is way too much slop in the bolt cover.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like it! Looks like a mod of one of the Chinese thumbhole stocks. I am almost certain that this rifle hasn't been modified by the owner or anybody else to take AK mags. The Chinese (nor any other country that I can think of) never built a military SKS that took AK mags, they built a couple of models strictly for the US retail market that did though, the D and M models. Some of those came with a rather unique looking thumbhole stock. |

Looking at it a little more, I am certain it started life as a Long Barreled M model, with ugly thumbhole stock. While it is neat that it takes AK mags (I think it is so neat I own two M models without the long barrel and thumbhole), it was a strictly commercial gun, it has no military association, no historical significance and there isn't much reason not to carve it up.

Looks like they put some time and effort into it...but I prefer a SKS look like a SKS, not crazy about people thinking that they can put a rail or collapsible stock on a SKS and it triples there value.

The one reason I never liked the SKS was the fact that it didn't take removable mags, which IMHO are one requirement for a modern semi-auto to be useful. If they had a removable mag, I probably would have bought one back when they were dirt cheap. |

It wasn't unusual at the time. The Garand has no removable mag. The FN49 does, but it cannot hold ammo outside the rifle (no lips). Rifles like the SVT40 and MAS 49 have removable mags, but are still meant to be loaded with strippers. Where the SKS gets into modern trouble, is that they were cheap, and the young/poor/inexperienced bought them claiming that they were the best things evah! Then they'd proclaim that people spending big money on better rifles were stupid. Of course, this is pure asshattery, and completely not the fault of the SKS. |
