You don't always need a bayonet. On my D its actually kind of an unnecessary thing so I keep it off.

Someone was saying before it greatly helps with the balance of the gun. Never had my hands on an SKS though so i wouldnt know.

does anyone know what became of this? his posts indicated he was setting up to do conversion but then no more updates
>>27839997
It does when you have a standard one with no detachable mags. But the mags are heavy with rounds so it throws it into an odd balance. I don't mind it off, my lug does not have threads for a screw anyways because of 90s import laws. Thanks Ob...er...Clinton.
Where can I find a good SKS for sub $300?
I want an innawoods gun and a reliable companion while I slowly piece together an aspensive AR (which will take a while).

I'm jelly of you Canadians. Sure, your laws may be shittier on a whole, but your limited import restrictions (except for ITAR) is nice.
>>27840157
Type 56 is Chinkanese, right? I've been looking around for one.
Unfortunately, every one I've locally sourced have been bubbatized. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same exact one at 4 different gunshops over the last year.
>>27840192
Yup it's a great gun, sadly #s not matching but the 2 sets are both sub 1/4 million.
>>27840192
i ordered a $200 one from royal tiger imports last year. i got a russian one
>>27840263
Fuck man, that's nice. All matching? Tula, Izhevsk?
>>27839560
How rare are the North Korea Type 63 and North Vietnamese Type 1 SKS rifles?
Some guy has one of each for sale.
>>27840268
mostly matching except for the most important part- the dust cover. everything else including the stock is matching.
theres a lot of internet speculation that the DC was changed on purpose so these could be imported, but ultimately none of it can be proved.
for $200 and $20 shipping, I aint mad.
>shitty cellphone pic of before
>literally dipped in a vat of cosmo
>>27840332
Noice. I too know the cosmo feels from my T56...
>>27840276
How much is he asking for the type 63? How does he know its not Korean? That's faked a lot. Nam one is not rare.
>>27840233
Yes
>>27840393
>>27840399
The North Korean SKS was produced as the Type 63 carbine. And I was suprised that the Type 1 wouldn't be rare, since they got Type 56 carbines from China they wouldn't have to produce their own SKS.
But for the Type 63, he wants $950 for it.

Should I get a Norinco SKS with a 16" or 20" barrel?
I was thinking 20" to squeeze a little extra velocity and for a better sight radius. But the 16" would be extra cosy.
Can anyone comment on how much difference the sight radius would make?
>>27840666
Mines a 16", and doesnt seem to have a problem for what i use it for
When it comes to the SKS-D and SKS-M which one is the pre or post-ban version?
With SKS prices rising, is there any real reason to buy one over an AK? Legitimately curious, not trying to troll or anything
>>27840761
It does not work that way. D is the full length and M is the short
I've seen early runs of Ms with bayonets like paratroopers but I have a D. First runs of D had bayonets and everything. Then second runs had the lug but no threads and no bayonets. Last run had no lug.
I bought a Russian 'sneak' SKS a few weeks ago.
Why are the safeties on these so shit?
>>27840332
Also;
My top-cover is mismatched... looking for a Russian Tula SN# HГ 1542....
I have a chinese(?) Cover SN#77261.
Anyone know where I can find a Yugo sling?
Sling loops on mine are too narrow for a russian canvas AK sling.
>>27840810
A lot of the SKS fans are Canadian, you can easily find them for $200 here and our economy is a lot different then America's economy. Almost everything here costs more then it costs in America.
If you have a wife and 2 kids you're not going to leave the store with less then about $300 worth of groceries for the week. That's if you eat healthy and don't walk out with junk.
>>27840810
NoFun states
SKS are actual 100% mil surplus, except those norinco shits. While AKs are all made for the civilian market.
Better gun to innawoods with, since it won't be as scary to strangers.
Is $265 OTD a good deal for this yugo SKS?

>>27839600

What am i looking at?
>>27840971
fantastic deal as long as the bore and crown are good and everything else is in fine shape.
>>27839600
That poor FAL that gave its life for Bubba.
>>27840969
>Better gun to innawoods with, since it won't be as scary to strangers.
That's not why.
It's because a lot states have mag-limits for hunting on public/private property; if you run around the woods with an AK and a 40rd mag the state police would go fucking apeshit and assume you are planning to kill more deer than your permit/tag allows.
>>27841003
That's not a valid reason. They sell tiny AK mags.
SKS should be a more accurate and precise rifle. Given the longer and heavier barrel.
>>27841003
...no... In Utah we have no mag limit. If I wanted I could hunt deer with a drum mag.
>>27839560
My sino-soviet, pretty rough, dinner plate groupings at 70 yards.

I actually had to replace the safety spring on mine.
Talk about a pain in the ass
>>27841177
That's pretty bad. Is the bore gone?
Any Canadians out there, what is the average quality of the skses being sold at Canadian Tire? There's a cabinet full of them for $200/ea in Pembroke ON right now. I doubt they'd let me strip down each one on the store floor.

>>27841177
real sino-soviet, or sinobanian?
>>27841465
What the fuck is sinobanian?.. the Albanians didn't license shit to China, they were busy eating sheep faces and cornholing little boys.
>>27841497
Bullshit, they were stealing Mercedes and my tv.
>>27840625
how much is the Radom worth??
my grandpa has one and i want to buy it off him
>>27841497
Sinobanians are what people call the recent beat to shit early Chinese Type 56s you can find on the market today becuase they were allegedly imported from Albania and sat in some warehouse here for years.
Some of them have russian parts on early chinese recievers. Some of them have actual sino-soviet serial numbers.
>>27841465
>>27841497
Well thats a good question. It's from Arsenal 26, with a 4 digit Russian prefix serial number, first year production. So it is original Sino-Soviet.
Its also beat to hell, and when I bought it it was a recent import from InterOrdinance, still coated in cosmoline. It looks like either it was a drill weapon or a combat weapon from the Balkan conflicts.
It is a possibility that it was one of the rifles traded with the Albanians, I doubt there are many original Sino-Soviet guns left in China, almost all the Chinese import SKS's are Norinco made.
>>27841402
Pretty good. I picked up a 1953 Tula last week. It was a display model so almost all of the cosmo was already gone. I'm taking it to the range for the first time this weekend. The price was 169.99, but I paid 139 taxes in. I cashed in my Canadian Tire money.
>>27841621
actually, norinco doesn't make anything. Jianshe (arsenal 26), which was the first factory to make Chinese SKSe starting with the sino-soviets, along with other unknown factories, make guns and Norinco and Polytech (before it got closed) exported them.
The beat to shit Sinobanians were a big deal about 3 years ago becuase they were actually c&r unlike nirinco and polytech imports.
>>27839959
>Tfw no D model
Any syrups here own one? How much do they normally go for? I really want one with the thumbhole stock.
Anybody here ever bedded an SKS? Mine moves back and forth in the stock, so I want to fix that down the road, after I sand the stock and get rid of some gouges.
>Inb4 not worth it
It was the first gun I ever bought myself, so it's special to me.
>>27841709
I'm sorry but actually norinco makes fucking everything, including guns.
>>27841744
>bedded an SKS
Only once. Try explaining that at the ER.
>>27839586

>SKS general thread was going well until this happened.
Somebody might as well turn this into a spiderman thread, because it's pretty well derailed
>>27841810
How long is that spike bayonet? I wish my sks had a spike instead of the pigfat dull edge blade. It just seems like dead weight, and if you actually stabbed anything with it the barrel would probably bend due to the surface area of the stuck blade
I bought a Russian SKS a few weeks ago and took it to the range on Friday to shoot it but it wouldn't fire. It chambered fine but when I pulled the trigger it just went click. After ejecting the round and trying a few others I saw that it had light primer strikes on all the rounds. How do I fix this? I was using factory tulammo that I bought new a few weeks ago.
Pic related, it's the light strike rounds.
I have nothing to add right now, so here's a albanian sks
>>27842304
Check how much of the firing pin is protruding, post pics maybe also
>>27842357
Here's a pic of the firing pin with me pressing on the rear to push it out as far as possible. It's free floating just fine though.

>>27842357
Fuck, forgot pic.
>>27841552
$650 for a beater. $1000+ for immaculate condition, although I'd never sell mine for anything. Cool that your grandpa has one. Did he bring it back from Europe?
my baby
shes a 1966 factory 26. later turned into a paratrooper and exported to the US
>>27840922
the safety on my 'sneak' is ok. the trigger is mushy as shit though.
i also think mine is chinese. its plain with a 5 digit serial on the rear.
>>27840971
depends, are you a canadabro?
here in the states, thats a smoking deal, assuming its functioning and good bore.
Are the yugo SKS bayonet's different? Where can I get a cheap one?
>>27842731
Yes. I actually have one some jackass ground an edge on and a thumb hold in when he used it as a knife if you want one.
This is my sks
>>27842832
Not him but it'd be perfect reason to buy a neutered Yugo SKS at a pawnshop near me. Email in name.
>>27840810
Loading those stripper clips in is a borderline sexual experience. You figure out if that's worth it over an AK.
I also like the thrill of a small percentage chance the firing pin will dick up and slam fire the rest of the fixed mag.

>not 'accidentally' locktite-ing the firing pin
Does anyone have a high quality SKS infographic/poster?
>>27842999

>>27842901
>I already have the bayonet, better just go ahead and buy the rifle to go with it
I like your style.
What do you guys think about the vz58? Never handled one, but I like the design and the concept. Seems to me like a nice hybrid between ak and sks tech, with some much needed improvements.
Anyone own one and love/hate it?
Planning to get my hands on one eventually.
>>27843059
This?
I'm talking about an old break down poster that would have all the parts drawn and laid out
>>27839959
did you forget your trip? And I like it much more now that it doesn't have the old stock or the brass bolt holding in the bayo.
>>27843123
they're neat, but they would be amazing if they shared magazines with the AK. for that reason, i won't buy one
>>27842427
Probably the ammo actually, tula ammo isnt that good, try some different next time.
>>27843156
LOL, thanks for the comment friend :^)
>>27843156
This occurred to me in my initial interest, but because of the ammo compatibility it doesn't strike me as a huge issue, so long as you have enough of your own mags and you keep a hold on 'em.
Thanks for the input.
>>27842104
It's 11 inches, and if you actually believe a barrel would bend when stabbing someone through the chest, look up people stabbing shit with an SKS. It's a steel barrel, so it's pretty strong...
>>27843123
i bought the vz2008 package when they were $399 with 5 mags + pouch, bayonet, sling etc. and it has been a surprisingly great gun. Apparently the price has gone up quite a bit though but I have had nothing but good experiences with mine. the fit and finish, accuracy, feeding, and so on is wonderful. i was wary since century has a shit reputation but i'd say i lucked out
>>27843156
>i really liked the mini30/vz58/cz527/AR in 7.62x39 but then i found out it doesn't take AK mags :^(((
whoa it's almost like different guns use different magazines
Here's mine that I got from Classicfirearms a while back
>>27843129
Ah. Like this one, but not shit?

![G69ppMM[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/xlnBMDk.jpg "G69ppMM[1].jpg")
>>27843232
That's reassuring, because I'm also interested in the 2008 over other variations, but heard it was unreliable and whatnot. I still preserved because I love the innovations the Czechs put into the design.
Thanks for the assistance.
>>27843156
I wouldn't mind as much if someone made quality polymer mags but they seem to be the neglected stepchild of the 7.62x39 world
>>27843232
To be fair a lot of 5.56 rifles use STANAG mags so it is a bit disappointing that there isn't a source for cheap mags for the Vz, seems once surplus runs out there won't be anything affordable.
>>27843123
I've fired one, and it was just great, but they're like 1000 syrup bucks now. I'm going to have to hold off on a Vz for now, I got a few other guns I'm interested in first at that price.
>>27843287
Yeah!
Is it true that Chineses are lighter than Russians? I've had both but not at the same time to compare. Is it just the wood that makes them lighter if so?
>>27843084
That's my logic. I recently acquired a gorgeous Ross Rifle bayonet, now I need the gun to go with it.
>>27841402
Pembroke eh? Better to try Cabela's In Barry. 250$ for a supergrade Russian SKS. Chrome and never issued.
250$ more for 1500 rounds of norinco chinkshit ammo inna spam can.
>>27843316
Ok, now that we've identified it - those are the old Russian training posters. I have prints of them for the Makarov, SKS, and AK. Don't know where you can get a hires version but they look good hanging on the wall. :) Maybe somebody else will have it.
>>27842478
no idea how he got it man.. i think he picked it up at sale or some shit in like the 70's. he never went to europe, though he served in korea.
>>27843318
Pretty much, chu wood is rather light and soft so there would be some difference from the denser com bloc rifles. Can't imagine it would be more than a few ounces though.

Got mine from aim in the spring. All matching. Refinshed a spare stock and kept the matching one original.
>>27844724
MMMMMMM. Damn, I've been wanting one but they're so expensive.
Cool.
Mine's one of the albanian chinese ones, manufactured in 1959. $245 out the door. It was my first semi-automatic center fire rifle. I guess I only have two of those actually.
>>27845015
>albanian chinese
What?
How much should a good Russian SKS set one back in Murrica nowadays? I live in Commiefornia and saw a 54Tula going for $750 and thought that was high even for this shitty state and a non-internet buy
>>27845078
Chinese military manufactured rifles for the Albanians. They were cold war allies for a while.
Rumor is all those SKS's that flooded in during 2012/2013 were of this origin.
>>27845096
Went to the gun show this weekend. All were around 400-550 bucks.
>>27845078
see
>>27841587
The wood is in pretty terrible condition unfortuntely. Luckily it's fine mechanically.

Bill has an obsession with sks rifles (his obsession is excessive)
In other words
Bill Has an SKS fetish
so my SKS is a type 56 with a really ugly as fuck stock. almost no finish left. you can see bits of orangey wood but most of it is a dark, ugly brown. what do?
>>27845382
Bill may be obsessive but Erik is an idiot that has had several, slept with them and wont shut the fuck up about it.
>>27845403
Refinish it. That's what I need to do with my Russian. It got gouged up.
>>27845188
Shit was rock hard. Possibly the fossilized remains of the slav who used it. Whatever it was it took an hour in the oven to come off
>>27845403
I refinished mine. Just a light sanding and new finish since the wood was hideous. Didn't go overboard, it still retains its character.
>>27840998

it shoots nice and accurate......for a sks. It also feels great but because the way the round ejects it does stovepipe every once in a while, worth it IMO

Hello komrades,
I've been doing some reading about early vs late Chinese sks manufacture and am trying to figure out if there is a discernable difference between the two. I know earlier models had screwed on barrels, more milled parts, etc, and this certainly lends itself to a sturdier build, but functionally and in terms of accuracy, is there a real difference? I read an account of one commercial sks owner who had fired an estimated 10k rounds over 20 years through his commercial and its still operating accurately.
The reason I ask is I have an opportunity to pick up a mint condition late manufacture Chinese sks. It has the orange mystery wood and spike bayonet, but is NIB. I currently own a beat up Arsenal 26 rifle that I am set to trade for a 1929 hex receiver mosin. I was never able to zero the arsenal 26 rifle and it always shot right and high, even after manipulating the front sight post. Its also got some pitting. Is it worth trading my beat up arsenal 26 for the nice mosin and picking up the mint commercial sks?
Also, I own a 1954 Tula sks but have continuing problems with the firing pin sticking. I've thoroughly cleaned it and oiled the pin, but it sticks nearly every range trip and slam fired a few times. It also shows heavy use; the hammer for example is dented in from striking the firing pin so many times. Is it possible to wear out an sks? I'm considering buying another Russian available locally so that I will always have one to use. My local gun store has 4 in stock. Any years or details to look for on a Russian that would make it more collectable or durable?
Thanks

Did you snort it afterward? To gain the cosmolines power? I heard if you snort a cosmoline worm that big you become the MilSurp Lich and gain unholy power over all things x39.

How did you guys get maximum clean out of it?

I can't help but like this stock.
>>27845670
>didn't go overboard
>that reflection
Yeah, you did.
>>27848301
That's just fresh tru-oil I haven't buffed.
Had I done nothing but cosmoline removal, pic related would have been the result. Soft Chinese wood with no original finish, splinters from gouges everywhere, and no protection from the elements.
>>27848281
agreed, that wood stock is lovely
>>27848347
You also used steel wool, which isn't recommended because particles could get left behind and later become dark spots as it corrodes under the finish
>>27848394
Literally every refinishing guide said lightly buff with steel wool between tru-oil coats.
>>27848377
It really wasn't. If it was some kind of important historical example or just less fucked up I would have left it alone. That was my original plan/hope.
>>27839851
Kill yourself
So. Quick question if anybody knows this.
I just picked up a mid 1964 produced arsenal 26 sks. It does not have a provision for a bayonet and it's marked with a "P" after the serial number.
Does anybody know what the P stands for and is the miss bayonet attachment related to this? It appears to be matching numbers minus the stock and the dust cover.
Got this laminate all matching piece for $220 from a gun show a few weeks back (Loonland). No date, barrel and receiver has been painted.
Adding to my combloc pile.
>>27848489
Judging by the stock and detachable mag, im guessing it was removed by the previous owner when he handed all that heresy to the rifle.
as for the P, well you may find something on John's SKS page http://www.yooperj.com/SKS.htm
>>27848968
*Added
>>27848968
I looked there already. The only information was suggesting that the P stood for precision possibly during refurbishing but no one was too sure on it.
Also, it physically can't take a bayonet. The mounting point is no longer there. And it wasn't removed via Bubba either.

fuggg dat aftermarket stock
What is it? Take my God damn money!
>>27849286
Matador Arms
>>27849316
Those take any AR stock, right? I wonder if a folder could be rigged up somehow.
>>27849403
Not sure, ask them:
http://matadorarms.com/sabertooth.html
>>27849403
They do make folding AR adapters but it obviously doesn't work without it extended and are a bit pointless.
>>27846277
Why the fuck is the mag backwards?
>>27849316
Hey my photos were reposted. Neat.
I am loving this stock so far. It was a huge upgrade over the promag OPFOR stock that it replaced.
>>27849316
Won't that rail obstruct shell ejection ?
>>27849763
You'd think so. Ask this guy: >>27849660
It's apparently his.
I used to have a link to whatever rail that is but I lost it.
>>27848422
>Literally every refinishing guide said lightly buff with steel wool between tru-oil coats.
I noticed that too. The internet sucks for refinishing advice mainly because every single person does it differently and gives contradictory information.
So just do whatever and YOLO.
>>27849763
>Won't that rail obstruct shell ejection ?
It is hard to see with thati photo but bottom of the Magwedge rail that goes over the bolt is a brass deflector and has a fair bit of slope to it. Your brass bounces off it and flies to the right.
The photo doesn't show it but I put a little padded sticker (fluffy side of Velcro strip) on the underside of the rail when in use which makes the brass ejection a bit more quietly and also to prevent it from scratching up the anodizing on the rail. So far I have never had a case fall back into the action as the deflector seems to be doing it's job.
The Magwedge rail is from a different vendor than the Sabertooth stock itself.
For those who care, the magwedge rail mounts to the rear sight and it is adjustable so you can swing it up for easy cleaning. The rear mounting point is the hole where the original SKS dustcover pin lived. Mine uses an allen wrench screw on a pin, but there is a quick release pin you can use as well to make cleaning even easier. You just pull out the little stainless steel "grenade pin" to unlock it for cleaning (pic related).
Either way the magwedge rail locks up tight at the front and back and holds zero very well, and it is a handy brass deflector.
>>27845985
It's in ok shape. Not wrecked but just the right amount of wear. I'd say around field grade garand wear or so.
so how many of you canucks are going to buy this magwell adapter for your SKS, for those sweet sweet 10 round detatchable mags on a non restricted?

>>27851458
>the price of a 2nd sks for 5 more rounds and the ire of every clueless fudd and leo in all the canadian empire
>worth it i guess
>>27851548
you do what you can with what you have, as an american none of this matters to me but i just want to let canucks know that this exists, maybe someone can make a fixed mag handgun that uses SKS mags one day, who just happens to sell alot of "replacement"pistol mags

Reminds me of the time the hammer on my muzzleloader smashed my thumb
>>27849316
what about magazine?
>>27849316
and where can i order?
>>27853054
I emailed them and it costs 349 for the stock and 99 for the rail, shits redonk but beautiful
>>27853246
That is Canadian money, so if you are american that 1.30 dollar goes pretty far. Still not for everyone.
As far as aftermarket rifle chassis go it is half the price of the equivalent product for other rifles. Any similar aluminum chassis for an M1A or a rem 700 would be $600-$900 and then you add AR furniture on top of that..
got a type 56 not too long ago
are there any /k/ approved detachable sights? Im all for keeping it as untacticool as possible, its a beautiful gun, but im curious.
>>27841814
>>27853590
See >>27850255 Brassstacker's nice but having the option for more than a 3x red dot is nice.
Say I could get a chink sks in good condition for 330$ or a yugo sks in good condition for 430$ what would be the best choice?
>>27853662
Chink, always chink. Even Norinco commercials are better than yugos unless you have grenades to play golf with.
>>27853692
My $300 Chink /26\ letter gun from SOG.
Stock came beat to hell but covered in trench art. I love the carving but the finish was 80% gone.
>>27855202
All matching.
Bled out the cosmo and gave the stock a little love. Nothing drastic, no sandpaper. Actually I think it brought out the carving a little better.
Seems like a different wood than some other T56 I've held. Mechanically flawless, bluing is mostly intact.
>>27855316
Under the butt play was a piece of cloth with what certainly looks like a blood stain. I don't know what's up with that, but I imagine this gun could tell some stories.
>>27843232
>vz2008 package when they were $399 with 5 mags + pouch, bayonet, sling etc
I've never been more jelly of anything i,ve seen on /k/.
Ill just reassure myself that that had to be while i was still not of gun buying age.
