Need an opinion on a project

Recommended Posts

I have a Yugo SKS that is an outstanding shooter and was thinking on making it a project. I have a bunch of sks's and this is the least collectible and most beat up looking externally. I was digging through my parts bin and thought of a project. I found a side mount detachable scope mount, a repro M1 Garand cheek pad for a side mount scope and a vintage Weaver K4 scope. I am thinking what the heck and make a pseudo SKS sniper-LOL. I have all the parts, so it isn't going to cost me any money, just a little time to drill and tap the sks. I clamped it together and cheek weld is awesome and appears very comfortable to aim through the scope. So here is a pic of it mocked up, nothing drilled yet. What do yall think, should I go for it next time I am home?

Go for it. However wat u have to remember is that sksz empy casings extract upwards so u have to protect the scope with a shield or something like that. Good luck !

 

PS mods pls delete the double post

 

 

+1 I was thinking the exact same thing.. aren't they going to eject right into the scope?

The scope mount is side mount so the scope is on the side of the gun, not on top. This is the reason for the cheek pad the whole top of the gun is clear so you can even feed from strippers. Looks like I have some tapping to do when I get home from work.

Is the purpose of the cheek pad to push your head to the side enough for a side mounted scope that is offset?

well considering I already build a 1/2 MOA Mosin, my goal for this project is a sub MOA SKS. It is possible, and I have an unissued barrel standing by, but it will be a bunch of work. Tomorrow I am going to glass bed it and free float the barrel. FUN FUN! Today I cut an 11º target crown on the barrel and started stoning the trigger group. So maybe some time next week I will have a pic of yet again- one ragged hole.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
