Hi Fellas,
Are the AK mags for SKSs single stack? Thanks, PAX
My Type 84 uses a slightly modified AK double stack and my SKS NR uses a regular double stack AK magazine.
There aren't many rifles that take single stack mags, a WASR was probably the most common, I've seen a FEG Sporter single stack, maybe a few others. Also, as far as I know the single/double stack is not compatible with each other without some type of conversion.
I was curious as I've scored on a few single stack 10s (Kali). I've only seen pictures of SKS/AK magged rifles, and can't tell. I've never even fondled an AK. PAX
All variants of the Chinese AK-magazine-conversion SKS use double stack magazines. The WASR's (AK's) used single stack 5 and 10 rd. mags., at least until a bunch were reworked to use the double stack mags. (after the AWBan expired?) I don't remember the exact time or reason they were able to rework the WASR's to use double stack mags? But, they did. :)
Is it the 10/63's that didn't have the dimples for mag wobble and usually had the burrs inside the mag wells from being opened up to use the double stack magazines? I owned a couple of the 10/63's but it's been a while. I'll dig out some old pics...
The boxes were marked WASR 10/63.

But this example, from that box, was still marked WASR 10, didn't have the dimples, and was milled out to use the double stack mags.

I'll take some pics of my SAR-1's and SAR-2's to show the dimples and other differences.

There were also some milled Arsenal Bulgarians, Yugo Npaps and the Hungarian SA-2000 that used single stack magazines.
Well that would explain why they sat in the LGS junk bin for over a year. The LGS was rolling up his tent calling it quits, and I picked up a mess of stuff I don't need for dirt ;) PAX

Yes this is true, but AKs & ARs just don't do anything for me. I only have 1 AR, and it's not even a real one. NFA lower & STOA 5.56 upper. I'd trade it in a heart beat for the right SKS. PAX
