    SKS Stock Recommendations

    Simons, If you're buying a wood stock to replace a wood stock (other than aesthetics), what is the gain? mljdeckard, You're right, of course. I'm just thinking of worst case scenarios and the weight of my bug-out bag. Perhaps I can get a 10MM screwdriver-handled socket and stow it in the...

    SKS Stock Recommendations

    I think Mr. Johnny is talking about the Tapco and ATI stocks. I just learned on my own SKS that if I want to remove the trigger guard assembly I have to unbolt the pistol grip from the stock. The Tapco has a recess behind the trigger guard, looks like with a little bit of filing I might be able...

    SKS Stock Recommendations

    119er, Thanks for that info and the excellent pictures. I'll try to stick with the stripper clips for now, unless I am compelled to change to a US made mag. After all, I'm going to the trouble to get a compact scope that will fit behind the bolt, so I will try to use it the way it was intended...

    SKS Stock Recommendations

    I'm still confused by the 922r even though I've read the TAPCO page. I understand that they're looking for no more than 10 imported parts, and according to their list that means 7 US made parts for the SKS. My Norinco had all original parts, so do I need to change 7 parts immediately or risk...

    SKS Stock Recommendations

    119er, How do you "grind the bolt" to do that? I'd love to modify my SKS to basically be an accurate AK-47, with some kit so they can use the same mags. Is this still available? Or is it only legal in Montana, so should I just get the Tapco SKS mags with the funny horn sticking out the front?

    SKS Stock Recommendations

    I'm getting confused! I bought the Tapco Intrafuse stock...It seems to be just fine, although I haven't fired the rifle yet with the new stock. There are gaps where I think there shouldn't be around the mag, but the overall feel is certainly serviceable. I just couldn't get the top handguard...

    Softest shooting semi-auto in a Significant Caliber?

    OK, everyone here has brought out the usual suspects, mostly 9mm's in common use like the Glocks or the Berettas (92 and PX4), and the Sigs, CZ's, etc. How about trying something truly different? I have an all steel framed 9mmP rotary locked breech pistol that is truly a joy to shoot: The MAB...

    Colt Army Special - 32-20 strange markings?

    Guys, Thanks for your input. I had "guestimated" that it would cost the following to do the conversion: $320 for the gun (already bought and sitting in my safe), $45 for the .38 barrel (also already bought and sitting on the bench) $160 for the 9mmP cylinder conversion from a specialist...

    Colt Army Special - 32-20 strange markings?

    Jim, To be fair to the collectors I asked, they weren't Colt collectors. One was an ammunition collector, one collects 9mmP handguns, another collects S&W revolvers, and two others are Gun Shop owners, not exactly collectors. I don't collect Colts myself - mostly 9mmP handguns, with a focus on...

    Colt Army Special - 32-20 strange markings?

    Hi there! I recently bought a Colt Army Special in 32-20 and was surprised to see that intertwined with the Colt pony on the left side of the frame is a "corral", or something like it, that looks like a stylized "C". If you can imagine a Chicago Bears pointed C, but fancier, the top of the C...
