To this day, I have yet to see (with my own two eyes, anyway) a highly modified SKS with an auto sear or using detachable box magazines.

I have seen a few of them that take standard 30rd AK mags. They are called SKS-M and SKS-D models.
My lgs actually has one for sale that I could've bought, but it was selling for $600 IIRC. Not a smart buy since AK47's are also in that price range already. SKS can me modified or "tacticooled" but not as easy as AK47's.
The SKS receiver, while milled and very robust, is also smaller. Although an Auto Sear may be added into the receiver, its probably not as easy because they were designed as a Semiauto rifle, unlike the AK. (someone correct me if I'm wrong regarding the internals)
I've owned 3 SKS rifles, two Chinese and one Yugoslavian.
