Yep,
The mags have that funky part on the front! It will unload a 40 round
banana like there is no tommorrow! They actually make mags for the SKS and
have for a longggg time. No need to try to convert to an Ak setup. Slower to
put another mag in versus an AK-47, but for the money you put in an SKS a
very effective weapon. Mine is complete with spike bayonet....it keeps the
neighbors kids in their own backyard! I much prefer the AK-47 to any
M-16. M-16 is a great target rifle, very accurate even when stock. But it's
problem is it is made to well.
The AK's advantage is loose fitting parts, the Colt has close tolerance
parts. That's why the AK-47 can get dropped in a mud puddle and come out
firing, and the Colt gets alittle dirt in it and it jams. So you take that
into account as well as the rounds for the Ak and SKS are so dern
cheap,...really hard to beat them. My son has an Albanian and Yugoslavian
made SKS, and I must say they are even better made than the Chinese. But
bang for the buck, can't be beat !

Your SKS takes detachable mags? Did you convert it to accept AK mags
or do the mags have that 2/12" thing hanging out in front? I heard
that once converted, they had feeding problems.

I had a Colt CAR-15 - "a shorty M-16, but semi mode only w/ telescoping
stock and shorter barrel", but for some reason, it fired in bursts when
I use one of the old mags. It fires fine with new mags. I sold it
later when I got an offer I couldn't refuse on it. That was long time
ago when I didn't know the value of a Colt. All I can find now are
copies for the price I got for mine.
