SKS...getting there

I installed the picatinny under the forearm of the SKS tonight. I had to shorten it an inch or so to fit the flat area of the stock. I fitted the picatinny and an attachment that adds a swivel head. Now I can put the bipod on and off and still have a picatinny for other items.

Here are a couple of shots of the flush mounted 5 round mag, converta-mount, and integrated shell deflector. Everything has been either re-blued or black anodized depending on the material. It is very solid. The flush mount mag is pretty cool.

 

Getting there....

The muzzle break I was waiting for won't be coming. Apparently they couldn't deliver so I'm getting my money back. I'll need to find another. At that point I am done. I think I'd like to find a smaller red-dot than the one I have...make the rifle a bit sleeker in that SHTF configuration. My boys were down for the holiday. The SAW gunner and Jarhead took one look at the SKS and began worrying about my sanity. They are both poodleshooter fans. Personally, .30 cal and up is all I'll ever buy. This project has been cheap fun.
