I've had and have multiple ar's and have been thinking about a foreign rifle. I got a deal I couldn't refuse and will have an sks tomorrow. It's an norinco sks with 2 stocks. The factory and a dragunov stock. Quite happy at the moment. Luckily I already have ammo for it. I bought a couple cases of wolf polyformance a month or 2 back.

Tomorrow morning. Hope it's clear so I can shoot

btw Norinco is the importer not the variant of origin just call it a Chinese Type 56. 

Way cool. I actually prefer the Norinco's over Yugo's. Enjoy

You're going to love it.

also be very aware that sks can have slam fires causing them to go off repetedly. make sure theres no cosmo in the fireing pin channel, and the pin is loose and slides in and out as you turn rifle up and down and not to protude into the chamber.

I'm not familure with em at all. I can rip down ar's and build em like nothing. Ak style I'm a noob.

they are very easy, just look on you tube

 

Yeah I'll rip it apart tomorrow

Nice!! Good luck with it.

got an email blast from classic, they have some back in stock if you want another or if someone else is looking for one. I had a Russian one and sold it, probably should have kept it

Double check that...I believe Norinco is the Chinese manufacturer 

I was told this from the SKS guru's at the SKS forums.

Just saying...

well can't argue with that I guess. Its funny how everytime someone call them a Norinco over a sksboards they get reemed out.

Norinco is both a Mfg and an exporter of the rifles.

Looks like we are in the same boat. I picked up a Russian this week and spent over two hours last night stripping, cleaning and oiling it up. I have never even fired one before and found it very easy to take down.

 

Good luck, I hope to shoot it tonight.

Where are you guys getting mags. I've found 10 rounders but no 15

I think PK90 makes 15 rounders for the AK

Excellent.

No detachable mag on mine .....need to get some strippers instead :-)

Now you have to make sure it meets 922r if you are using mags.

 

Here is a kind of cheat sheet to comply..

They're great shooters, Shawn, you'll have fun with it.  

 

I don't think I have ever seen a 15 round fixed magazine for an SKS.  They made 20 rounders, and I have seen 5-rounders, but its been a long time...the 5 rounders make the magazine well almost flush with the bottom of the stock...I shoulda bought one of those back when they were plentiful.

 

Sadly, the detachable magazine model is on the 'verboten' list in the slightly communist state of NJ....

I believe sks with a detachable magazine is banned by name in NJ.

Maybe Shawn can block a 20 round mag to 15 rounds, then permanently attach it to the SKS.

See the below thread, from back in January of this year...

Yeah I believe you are correct.

sks is not an ak pattern anything. Completely different. I have never heard of a 15 round fixed mag ever made for the SKS. 20s popup from time to time, but most people stick with the standard and wood stock
