Is there such a thing? Primarily Chinese, a guy over on AK-Files is looking for an SKS-D or SKS-30 manual as he just picked up a D. I was wondering if anybody had one to get his way or make a PDF of so he had that at least.
I've got a couple PDF's of the plain jane SKS manuals buried somewhere on my hard drive I think, but nothing for a detachable magazine one. I assume they exist and they are different than the generic ones for a stock SKS?
Just asked 'the google'. they are out there it seems if you look hard enough:
This is the one I'd suspect he wants (for an SKSM, though the image is a stock SKS), or something similar:

This one is also intriguing to me:

Aha, found the original Blue ChinaSports SKS-30 manual on the wayback machine:
Been off the web since 2012. I'll make a post in the bookshelf board and post it and the others I have so we can have them in one updated, centralized depository.

Awesome RM, knew somebody here would figure it out. Thanks on behalf of the AK-Files member who was asking. :)
Hey RM, Gman*2007 from the AK-Files says thank you very much.
