    Does anyone make a magazine system that runs right in an SKS?

    While I don't follow what's going on in the SKS world my reading and experience with magazine conversions is not good.

    What kind of accuracy are you getting now?

    Never knew SKS's were known for accuracy to begin with.

    That’s because people don’t know how to use iron sights anymore and need a $400 trigger to cover their flinch.


    Accuracy can be “reasonable”.

    Personally, I wouldn't. Test out as many different ammo types to see what is most accurate in the rifle. Think about getting into reloading and making more accurate ammo for the rifle.

    If you need more accuracy than that, consider buying something more accurate to start with.

    Most SKS rifles I have shot in the past, had very acceptable accuracy on man-sized targets at 100 yards, using open sights. Pretty much what the rifle was designed for. It was battle rifle, not a target rifle.

    I have a Chinese SKS that I bought about 1 year ago. Had to replace the gas tube and ended up finding one in the Ukraine for Russian SKS. I really like the rifle but don't expect great accuracy. I bought a Teslong Rifle Borescope from Amazon ( works great ) and when I looked down the barrel I realized why this is a fun shooter but will never be accurate. Now I know what corrosive ammo does to a rifle. The borescope is fantastic, costs $50 and the company just rebated me $30, to my surprise. Will never buy another used anything without looking down the bore. Will post some pix if anyone interested.

    It never stops them from trying though.
    Kind of like the tactical lever action 30-30.
