Hi, my sks I purchased a while ago came with a NcSTAR receiver cover. Where can I find a regular one besides eBay? I would like to get the Magwedge rail which requires the regular cover. Let me know, thank you!

I’ve been looking for a 10 round box mag for my Chinese sks but have only found good priced 10 round mags pinned to 5 how easy would I be to get rid of the pin I also want to note I am in a legal state where I can have an unpinned mag incase this were to get removed.

Look. Corrosive isn’t the boogeyman it’s been made out to be. Your gun isn’t going to explode or instadeath just because you shot some corrosive ammo. It’s not even going to immediately rust. So many of these guns were shot with “corrosive” ammo and still have good to excellent bored.

All it takes is CLEANING YOUR GUN when you’re done shooting. Literally that’s it. You don’t even have to scrub the piss out of it. Corrosive salts are not difficult to remove, use water and a bit of dish soap (but the key is water).

I’m considering starting small scale production for in demand SKS parts and would like to know what you all would like. Please specify what country you are from as the markets between Canada and the US are different and shipping to the states might be cost prohibitive in a month.

A few parts that have a zero percent chance are as follows:

Bolt (very precise and it holds back the splody bits, not touching that)

Barrel (can’t produce it and even if I could it’s cost prohibitive)

Receiver (cost prohibitive)

Trigger group (would consider individual components but it’s cost prohibitive to do the whole thing)

Any magazine (stamping is hard and mags are hard)

I have ideas on what I want to make but I want to hear what you guys need. I’d be willing to consider commission work but I’d want to build up a reputation before people entrust their stuff to me.

The hand guard has no removable pin, so I would need to order a replacement gas tube for the FAB defence tube cover to fit. Just wondering if anyone knows if it’s good to go as is, and if i should bother looking for another gas tube. Thanks.

Why do so many people treat suspected corrosive ammo like it's the elephants foot at the bottom of the melted down Chernoby reactor?

Just clean after you shoot. It doesn't have to be immediately cleaned. It's OK if it sits for a few hours.

It's not the damn demon core from Los Alamos!

Corrosive ammo ain't apocraphal!

The more you know.

Happy shooting!

As the title says I got 13 boxes of this stuff from a pawn shop. This is the only one like this. I'm just curious if they "filled" the box at the pawn shop or if this is some kind of change in manufacturing?

Hello, Does anyone happen to own a comblock red stain stock from lucky shot? If so can you post and talk about the fitting. Does it come complete with the gas tube handguard?

My 1979 French Tickler has these two holes drilled out and a notch cut into the stock, initially I thought it was for a scope mount it may have had on it previously but I feel like it’s way too small of an area for that and there are no holes drilled further down only just these two, anybody recognize it?

I’m thinking of attaching a Bad Ace rail mount on both my rifles. Not permanent because I already have tech sights on both but for fun. Extra option for how I’m feeling that day. What optics are a decent choice for that setup?

Also on another note. I’m trying to attach a 26.5mm PU mount on my Norinco. I don’t wanna use a PU scope persay unless there’s a modernized one. Is there adapters to use modern scopes? I’m really just searching for knowledge. Any of it is appreciated.

Just got a firearms license and I believe the SKS will be my next purchase. I learn better from texts and material sources than I do from videos.

Are there any recommended paper resources?

My two Triangle 26’s together the left is a 1969 and right is a 1979, I think I decided rather than making the 79 a hunting build I wanna make it original again I already have a new cleaning rod and bayonet for it just need to order a rear sight leaf. Other than that both are numbers matching so I think they’re pretty nice, now all I wanna do is save up for an Albanian haha

So is the ban lifted on Wolf ammo ???? These are available and the price is higher than anyone likes but it’s better than none at all I guess

Is there a company that has a stock sock that holds a stripper clip or 2? I haven't found one, maybe you guys have found something that works

I'm in the process of taking apart an inherited sks and there's surface rust on almost every part hidden by the stock.

I was watching a video on sks restoration (Russian video) and they used some kind of spray on treatment that left a skin on the metal that wasn't paint, more like a heavy black varnish that cured hard.

Here is a French tickler and side sling swivel with 20 round fixed box Polytech magazine (looks like a bloated goldfish). It's the non-star version that actually works.

Been looking for something like this, maybe. Not exactly this, but finally found one. Paid $15 at a local gun show. Now I gotta find a scope.
