Are you trying to load 10 rounds or 30?

It's faster and more reliable to use the stock 10 rounder.

IMO keep it stock. Much cooler that way.
Plus the detachable mags are a PITA. |

Well,since it's a time question, I would say 10 rds on both types. |

Personally , i've scrapped the 20-30rd mags for the stock 10rd mag........Mags are what aks and ARs are for.
I've neve had much luck with the 30rd mag, the best thing i figure would of been a 20 or 30rd mag and then use strippers to charge it...but i've never got that to work well. |

The detachable are crap, and not legal on all SKS's.

My guess is you could probally reload with the 10rnd stripper clips nearly as fast (with some practice.) I would keep your SKS with the 10rnd mag it came with.

This advice works for more than one question:
"Strippers are faster"

Tried both. 10 rd stripper clips all the way.
You might try the Chinese 20 rd fixed mag. Has a nifty star on it. I think you could only put in 10 then the bolt would charge the rifle but you could load it from downstairs. Put in say 15-17 for a trunk or got-to gun with empty chamber and not worry about the spring being overloaded long term. Could still go pretty low prone too. |

Magazine springs dont' wear out from the compression from being left "loaded". Mag springs wear out from use of loading, unloading, loading, unloading, etc. So you can keep 'em loaded up from now on, and empty mag does keep oneself safe.

I have two 30 rd and two 20's.
I shoot the two thirties, first. Then, after blasting through the two 20 rounders, I use stripper clips to load ten rounds at at time from that point on. I DID get a "speed-loader" for my SKS mags, too. I haven't tried it yet. But, it LOOKS like it oughta' work pretty well. My SKS is not necessarily my "go to" gun, however. And . . . yes! I have it "all buggered up" with a compensator, folding stock, scope and bi-pod! It's painted, too!  (Easy enough to return it to it's original condition, though!)
