Extremely rare, yet destroyed Sporter
« on: January 22, 2021, 06:18:33 PM »
Looks like the typical Sporter, including import stamp and deleted bayonet lug....but this is one of somewhere around 1800 1988 Sporters....with the full length gas system and truncated FSB.

Too bad it's already been destroyed...I had to look, and am kind of glad I did.
It's up for auction on the eBay.  If somebody has a pinned barrel receiver it could make for a neat SKS....and 'restore' a very uncommon variant.

There are destroyed SKS barrels with receiver stubs on there all the time....only occasionally do you get to witness it be more awful than usual.

A pinned barrel doesn't need to be clocked??? Would an easier repair if not. PAX

Looks like the guy is parting it out.He has the sporter trigger group up for auction as well.And a stock and bolt but they aren't matching to the barreled action from the looks of it.
When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.

It has to be clocked in a matter of speaking. You have to make sure the relief cut for the extractor is in the right position while pressing. Basically everything set at 12 and hope the pin lines up correctly, but yes it is an easier install that a threaded barrel. The biggest problem is finding a pinned barrel receiver. Easier to cut and crown the barrel to length on a barreled receiver, then machine the muzzle end to accept the FSB assembly.
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.
