Sks Bullpup

I finished this about a year ago, just getting around to posting it now.

I'm not a huge black rifle fan, but a few years ago I got a great chance to buy a norinco sks from a friend of a friend. He had left the rifle sitting on his tailgate & then tore out on a black top road. He heard it slide off & hit the pavement, stopped & went back to survey the damage.

-smashed stock

-damaged trigger guard & mag

-twisted front sight base cover

Plus a liberal sprikling of road rash all over.

 

Well...after he shows me the rifle (he'd had it in a closet for a few years, & at this point & it had a liberal sprinkling of rust on it too), three andrew jacksons later I have a project rifle!

 

It sat in my closet for 2 years before I saw the SG works bullpup release - couldn't not have it & ordered one. 15 months later (yes, it took that long) I took the sks to the sandblaster, knocked the front sight base off, threaded for a AK muzzle break, duracoated combat black & out she popped!

 

I've always been partial to sks's since that was my first deer rifle.

How does it group at 100 meters?

Function???

 

 

This is interesting.

Grouping a sks at 100 meters is always problamatic. It shoots ok, engaging targets with the non-magnified el-cheapo red-dot (non-braced, offhand) I was putting all the rounds in a pie-plate sized area. I haven't shot it braced at all.

I love how it makes it function though. It puts a full length carbine barrel in a "right there" handy length. I'm not a tactical guy at all, but the entire stock is very ergonomic as compared to the full length of a sks or AK. It's a little heavier than my AR, but I like it better. somewhere down the line I may covert it to take regular AK mags, but right now the tapcos function flawlessly even if the duck bill is a bit akward.

The trigger linkage is very well designed & actually improves the sks trigger imho.

It is loud as crap! I wear ear plugs with a muffs overtop. You have the round detonating right by your cheek & you have that massive steel bolt slamming under your cheek meld. with the double ear protection almost all you hear is that big bolt slapping back & forth "shuSHINK! shuSHINK!"

Thumbs up for me.
