Title: Went Full Retard...Lkermit Would Be Proud
Post by: echo1 on May 13, 2023, 08:11:45 PM: Hi SKS Junkies,

SPOILER ALERT: Purist's avert your eye's or go blind. You've been warned!
Couple few years ago I traded Yugo 59/66 furniture straight across for this set up. I had a SARCO barreled receiver laying about so I thought I'd turn the Khyber Pass Boys lose. This is what we ended up with, Shernic bull pucky. First off, of course, chop the barrel to 18.5", neutered FSB, Alby bolt mag & carrier, and I finally found a use for one of those honky vented gas tubes. At that barrel length, in the Shernic, the OAL is a bust, so I added a Ramline brake. Good by 1/4 inch now. Tapco piston, Murray trigger job & 2 piece FP, Shernic sock count, the whole she-bang is 922r worthy. Plus, I stayed with the stock mag which makes it GTG in Kali, even with it's evilness. Needs a light and she's ready for the mall ninja crowd. Weighs at least 5 kilos. PAX rofl

Good eye. It was my last spare that was pressed into service. Kinda goes with the carrier. PAX

He's in CA, I don't think a 20rnder is legal for him without getting it registered.

I just finished it a couple days ago. Dry firing it seems to have a better trigger "feel". My hope is someone here in Kali will go all GAGA for it and I can go after A Russian I've been eye balling. PAX

Where's the eye bleach?
Actually not that bad.
Not my cup of tea but you did a nice job

I never had a FTF or a jamb. A friend of mine also ought one from him. I have that stock also. His craftsmanship was top shelf.
