Congrats on your purchase, did the previous owner do the necessary changes to the rifle to make it legal to use a Hi Cap mag as far as the 922r laws go?

Congratulations! I too bought an SKS a little while back. Can't wait to fire mine. Still have another SKS on my list to bubba up as my Yugo is too nice to change at all IMO.
Any pics or yours? I'd like to see it with all the goodies installed.

I will keep you in mind if I decide to get rid of the stock.
I have thought about putting it back in the wood stock, but I like the synthetic stock also. Maybe I need another SKS...one in wood and one in the synthetic and all decked out.
Thanks waltham41 for the link.
Here is a picture...not the best since I took it with my cellphone.

I will try and get a better picture with my other digital camera and without so much clutter around it.

Okay I know this is over 120 days since there was a reply, but for a while the site was down and I got real busy with my SKS. :devilsidesmile:
Well I finally got my Tapco T6 stock to go on my Norinco Chinese SKS.
I have added a different receiver cover that has 3 picatanny rails with a red/green dot scope, tactical flashlight, and a laser. I have a muzzle brake on the front and have ground down the bayonet lug.
I did the bolt modifications to allow for loading and unloading the magazine without having to have the bolt open. I also did the modification to allow the mag to be inserted with all 20 rounds in the mag.
The only other thing I want to do is put a Harris bi-pod on the stock.

Here is a closer look.

Haven't posted much about the SKS so I thought I would update a little after going to the shooting range the first time.
The first time out was trying to get the red/green dot scope zero'd and then the laser. Well first off I found out that firing the rifle would cause the screws to work loose from the vibration. So that day turned into a no zero day. Did shoot the open sites...OH YEA! Right on target.
Took the rifle home and decided to put some LocTite on the screws that holds the picatiny rails to the receiver cover. That took care of the screws backing out.
Took the SKS back to the range about 2 weeks or so before buck season here in WV...NOT HUNTING DEER WITH THIS RIFLE, JUST VARMITS...was able to get the red/green dot scope set. Groups...well lets just say 8 inch or 10 inch circle was pretty much peppered. Still need to really check out grouping when I have time. I was basically playing around...thank God for cheap ammo right now.
I am really thinking of putting a 3-9x40 scope on it along with the shell deflector. The red/green dot has no magnification. The laser is another story. It is cheap with no adjustment screws. Looks like you get what you pay for. May get a better quality laser site for it.
But for right now I like it. Once I get things lined out on her, look out ground hogs!!
Now I have the original wood stock, a non-folding Ramline and a folding Ramline stock to get rid of along with the original 10 round non-detachable magazine, original cleaning kit that goes in the butt plate of the wood stock and the cleaning rod that came with it and several stripper clips. I don't plan on making the SKS original since I mod'ed the bolt and ground off the bayonet lug.
