Fairly difficult to do and puts you on the illegal side of 9.22r if you did.I believe one can also modify the SKS to take AK mags.
Compare a fixed mag SKS with an SKS-D, SKS-M or Sporter one day.

yeah, but if it came down to it, (money aside). If you were running out of the house because aliens just invaded and you knew the rifle (either the SKS or the Mini-14) you were taking with you would be it for a while (ammo issue aside). Which one would you rest your life on.
For me it's the SKS, minimal cleaning, minimal breakage of parts. Super reliability. Decent accuracy.
Aren't all three guns fairly similar in concept? (application wise, not mechanically)the mini-14 is much closer to the m-1 carbine in concept than the SKS.
