316 Arsenal SKS back to original, with muzzle brake added.

Hello everyone!  My magazine arrived from Novgorod today.  It fits perfectly!  There is no SN and I plan to leave it that way instead of trying to replicate a SN.  Anyways, here's photos of it 'back' to original, except for the muzzle brake.  I haven't pinned it yet, and may end up leaving it off.  Next I'll strip everything down one more time and clean the stock.  A forum-poster suggested I use lemon oil, so I'm going to give that a try.

Nice!  Blank magazines are typically pretty tough to find, how'd you find this one?

Did a cleaning and full functional check this morning.  20 rounds 'slow-fire' standing unsupported at 100m gave me 20 solid hits to a 12" circle.  I didn't have any misfeeds or misfires.  All in all a solid little "Karabin"!

Nice to hear all is good BG. A 10 round pattern in a 12 in circle ? That thing came sighted from the factory : ) At least for me id agree.  Nice going.

86 the brake and you'll have something really nice and completely functional. PAX
