My two SKS Carbines

Both have Tapco 20rd mags. Original mags are in storage. Both rifles are matching numbers.

Oooh very nice! How do you find the tapco mags for feeding reliability?

They work well. I don't swap them out like removable mags. I simply load them with two stripper clips. Nice having 20rds on tap.

If your guns are pre-ban you don't need to worry about 922R.

I like them both but the dark one I really like.
Did you get the stock like that or did you do something to it to get those light lines.

The stock is factory... did nothing to it. What you see is simply the wood grain.

Great looking specimens.

Wow I wish mine was half as pretty as your Russian one

That Russian is something to behold, I've seen ALOT of SKS furniture and that one is in my top 10. Nice piece.

That is a very nice stock on the Russian SKS. I have two of them, and neither are that nice.
