Hey all, went to an Appleseed shoot this weekend and brought my AK's. Found out by the end of day one that the AK platform isn't an ideal choice for accuracy. So, I'm thinking of building an SKS for my next Appleseed shoot and for whatever else (range use, hog hunting, instruction...). I have a 1950 Russian SKS that has seen some use (and abuse, but not by me, only got it a week or two ago). But, I'm wondering if it's the best gun to build on or should I be using an unissued Yugo or a good condition Norinco instead.
The plans are:
Pull and save the wood stock and go with a polymer stock (ATI in Mothwing Camo, or maybe a Choate stock or Tapco T6) so I have a decent LOP, if not, at least add a 1" thick recoil pad/stock extension to the back of the wood.
Send the trigger group to Kivaari for a match trigger job.
Get a spring loaded firing pin setup from Murrays.
And install a Tech sight...and possibly a Williams FireSight in front.
Unless the gun is like-new, I'll also be throwing in new gas rod, operating rod and spring.
Can an SKS be rebarelled?
Anyway, those are the plans and I'm just looking for the best base to build this project on. I need to accurately be able to do Appleseed AQT targets. What say you?
