Just to clarify, that's a receiver with barrel, right?
I'm assuming you ordered it in through an FFL or C&R dealer.

The trigger group should fit right on. Just make sure that the hammer is cocked and the safety is on before you try and press it into place.
Do you already have the gas tube, gas piston, operating rod and spring, bolt, bolt carrier, magazine assembly and receiver top cover?
You can get excellent condition Yugo SKS's for under $100, so if you don't have all of the other parts it'll cost you about twice as much to buy them as it would to purchase a complete rifle.

You can get that trigger group for $39.99 from www.aimsurplus.com or www.centerfiresystems.com
You can get a complete fiberglass "jungle stock" from www.globaltrades.com for $10 These are pretty ugly out of the box, but light, waterproof, easy to fit and look great when you paint them.
The original type fixed mag will be hard to find. I have a USA ten round mag, I'll send you for free if you pay the shipping.

Is that a Chinese SKS? I couldn't tell from the pics. Dimensions of parts vary between the different countries that made them. The Yugo SKS is a good example of that. The barrel is larger in diameter towards the receiver, and the bayonet slot in the stock is deeper and longer to accomodate the fixed bayonet.

Gewehr98: That is a fine looking rifle!
jon1996: Your receiver will work with either the fixed 10 round style, or the "duckbill" high caps.
