Updated Paratrooper
« on: June 02, 2021, 06:31:01 PM »
I bought this Paratrooper in '98 from one of my troops.  It as installed in a Combat Exchange stock and had no magazine.  Back then it was hard finding spare parts, so it took me a while to find the magazine and finally settled on the Soviet mag.  Going through  several mods through the years of using it as a Truck Gun, I finally settled on the flash hider the ten round mag (Colorado Legal), and the wood stock (I like wood stocks for some reason).  Between my AR build in .300BO, my Aussie L1A1 and this one, they are my usual defense grab gun.

Okay, I know next to nothing about SKS accessories  rofl Is that flash hider pinned on?

I'd say a paratrooper length parts gun is a great truck gun given the handy length and no need to be concerned about a ding or a scratch  thumb1

The front pin on the FSB has a longer pin put in to hold the flash hider on.
Also it has the /6602\ which is our ?1 arsenal....is that because we don't know for sure the order?  Seems clear as day to me?

Jon, as JH said, the flash hider is pinned.  I used a split/roll pin and cut off the excess.
JH, I think the same.  Whichever way you look at it, it says 6602 to me  wink1.
