SKS Projects?

[radarmonkey]

This thread won't be for a purist. I'm bored and cleaning out my safe. I found a Norinco SKS I bought from a member here years ago. I'm wondering if any of ya'll have ever done a furniture change, bullpup conversion or just done a few things to make an old commie rifle a bit better.

I made my own recoil pad/extension from a Mossberg 500 recoil pad. Also added a muzzle break/flash hider. Makes the SKS an absolute pleasure to shoot.
(The scope was a mistake since mounting it on the dust cover made it impossible to zero properly.)
The cheese grater hand guard was just for looks.

This is also NOT the original number matching stock.

Very interesting, I'm sure it is more comfortable being a bit longer. Thanks.

I usually leave mine stock. Is that one missing the bayonet?

Mine was a victim of the 90's assult weapons ban. The bayonet was removed and the lug ground off for import.

Well, that sucks!

I do have another one that is complete with bayonet and all number matching. And it's staying that way.

Yes sir, the bayonet is missing.

"Better" is open to interpretation.... That rifle is just fine as is, in my opinion which does not matter, because it ain't mine!!
Having said that if it is not collectable make it your own!! That is half the fun of owning weapons!!

That there was my first milsurp rifle, a 58 Romanian from a gun show in the 90's for like, a hundred bucks or something silly(and reasonable). I did the usual stuff, Chaote stock, tapco jazz, duckbill mags, crappy top cover scope, etc, etc. Eventually put it back stock, sold it to a buddy ages ago when it was worthless and wish I had not. Other than the LOP being a little short for american gorilla arms they were damn good as they were made really. A normal pattern synthetic stock wouldn't hurt, with a longer LOP.
