I wanted to make a separate post for detailed pics of my Polytech Hunter. This rifle is the most modified factory built SKS, and is really a beautiful firearm. This SKS was built at the Polytech arsenal, and the craftsmanship is nicer than any other commercial SKS I've owned. Even shooting this rifle, it just feels smoother, more solid, and the trigger is beautiful.
I've only had a chance to shoot it twice, and I had not yet fully broke it down. When shooting the other day, I realized there was still cosmo in it.... well actually, it was packed with more cosmo than I'd ever seen in an SKS. So tonight I did a full cleaning and decided to take detailed pics...
Receiver cover...rear serial has been milled flat.
Bolt carrier. Note the area where the serial usually is has been milled down....
This machined part of the bolt carrier is to clear the unique rear sight.
Bolt. Some good machining in this part.
Drop free mod for the modified magazine.
Firing pin and bolt parts. Notice the spring loaded firing pin! The bolt is machined in the rear for the spring to seat against.
Gas piston. Standard issue.
Gas tube. Has an old serial EPd in it, and was reblued over during build.
Underside of gas tube.
Action rod and spring. Standard issue.
Recoil rod and spring.
Highly modified stock magazine, that now sits flush with the stock and hold 5 rounds. Completely drops out the bottom with the bolt closed.
Another mag shot.
Trigger group. Stamped. Very very smooth action and trigger pull. Note the unique ambidextrous safety.
Ambidextrous safety.
Modified front sight block. Smoothed, and milled open shroud.
Front sling mount, takes the place of the cleaning rod hole.
Import marks. Very interesting. Didn't notice these before.
Arsenal and serial marking. Receiver is welded and milled prior to stamping.
Unique rear sight with adjustable windage and elevation.
Original barrel/receiver marks. Can still see the receiver stamp after milling.
Inside receiver.
Underside receiver. A few stamps there.
Bolt hold open.
Unique stock. Believe it's walnut.
Inverted receiver cover lever, and notched stock.
Hunter was sold with Uncle Mikes sling mounts front and rear.
