Hi Cap SKS Mags starting to come in

[Docster]

The 20-rnd mags for my SKS's that I ordered last month from Sportsman Guide have started to arrive. Got 3 today; black, Tapco. I had ordered them, despite their backordered status indicating delivery around March 2013, hoping for sooner and it looks like that decision is paying off. I've done a couple other orders since.

Maybe this means that the magazine issue is loosening up a bit.

High capacity? Please don't use the gun grabbers jargon.

Oops, my bad! Just like my waist size, I'll call them L and XL......

I went on the site and I don't get the option to buy.

I don't care if I have to wait.

Sks's should not have removeable mags. They are a work of art in original form.

Esp with 20 round buckets swinging on the bottom

I agree ... but I have to confess that I did buy a drum for one of mine. I didn't have to make any mods at all to the rifle (some adjustment needs to be made to the drum), and it takes under 5 minutes to switch back and forth between the two mags.

Why did I do that? Probably just because there are some politicians saying that I shouldn't be allowed to. I'm obstinate that way.

They were designed and built with 10 round fixed magazines. Therefore, 20rd detachables would be considered the evil words.

What about 20 round fixed mags for SKS?

If you use the detachable mags, wouldn't you also have to change out a few more parts to be 922r compliant?

Yes, you are correct. I made my Maadi AK 922r compliant with a new handguard, pistol grip, gas piston, and trigger group (3). I wanted to add a side folder "wire" stock, so I had to find another part to replace- thus the gas piston.
I could have skipped the gas piston (hard part)- but I couldn't legally use imported mags. I didn't like that, so I added a made in USA gas piston as well. Now I can use imported mags legally.

I can't find a good source for SKS 922r parts, anyone know of one?

I just got some 20 rd Maryland legal mags from Tapco and had to refer to a youtube vid on how to install them. Only a few steps and you can return it to original in a matter of minutes if you chose.

I like them. Only buy 1 mag instead of a dozen.

Looks great and totally original. Where did you find the mags or am I just dreaming

I got it here, from a member about a year or two ago before they started going for $75 on ebay/GB.

 

[Mark75H]

Now they are closer to $100 on eb & GB

I'd go for $50, but I'll pass on $75-$100

Wow that's exspensive. I'll stick with the $17 Tapco's until I can find a resonable source for more authentic mags

Century has some of the 20 round tapco detachable SKS mags in stock. 19.99 + s&h
