SKS mags?

Who makes a good 30 round sks magazine? Also should I go with a polymer mag or stick with steel? Thx

Wow. Somebody is angry. That one pictured looks almost identical to my SKS but I have a scope mount on top.

Awesome.

I've got 1 tapco 20 round that seems to cycle fine, and a couple 30 round metal mags that work well. I modified the bolt to allow mag change with the bolt closed, and (since they don't really have a feed ramp) used a dremel to bevel the lower entrance to the chamber. The removable mags all seemed to want to jam rounds on either side of the chamber pretty regular. The factory box mag pretty well always worked flawless. The mods to mine so far have made it cycle much more dependable. All that said, it's still a cheap rifle but fun to plink with.

Why not just get an AK, if you want an AK? Why try to make the SKS what it isn't?

Because some people, such as myself, like SKS's. As well as, spend $400 more for a rifle.... buy $25 mag

Dude, you have at least one AK. Why not leave the SKS alone?

I have at least one of both, and for some reason I honestly like the SKS's better. If I was in an all out brawl I'd definitely choose an AK over an SKS, but for the range, I love my sks's. Don't know why, just always have loved those rifles.

Heardja. I'm squarely in the camp of folks that wish they hadn't sold theirs.

Dont hate on my SKS....




this is the way it was when I bought it and the seller didn't have the original wood or I would have gotten it from him

Alex's head may just explode when he sees this...

Unless it's an SKS-D (takes AK mags), I would stay away from trying to modify the SKS to take the duckbill mags. There are ways to do it but honestly the most reliable setup is the fixed 10 round mags are the best.

You can find fixed 20 round Chinese mags too that work the same way as the 10 rounder and they work well too.

IMO just get good at using stripper clips
