rustvyper Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustvyper Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 How does it group at 100 meters? Function??? This is interesting. karl 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
