Yes, using a 'pirated' mag adapter designed by me!!!!, with a 'cosmetic' change. I detest thieves of any kind.

As soon as I saw that mag adapter with a maple leaf....I was prepared to hold my breath until Marcus chimed in. Glad I didn't....it took a lil longer than I expected. :)

I would really be interested in just how heavy this thing is...there is an awful lot of added weight, especially just for flip up sights.  I have one of those quad rails, I can only imagine how much the magwedge and the pirate adapter add.  With all that weight, if it was a Phoenix Kicklite stock, I would think the recoil would feel like shooting a 22....only louder.

I kind of like some of the parts used, but perhaps I wouldn't go the route of using all of them on the same gun. It almost has a Hi-Point carbine look to it.  Do the separate top rails line up to where you could use a variety of optics mounted between them?  I don't recall seeing anyone using the quad and the magwedge, but I do seem to remember someone wondering at some 'other' place whether they would line up properly.  The SKS to me anyway, looks a little funny with a scout mount...even when using red dots or reflex sights...the ability to move it over the bolt carrier would be a nice option.

I dig the modded bolt carrier too, not that I am lefty....but it is a pretty slick mod, and from what I can see looks pretty clean too.  thumb1


I am gathering the materials for a bubba project, this gives me a little food for thought....and reminded me of that quad rail that lives in a spam can with a bunch of other unused parts.  LC gave me an idea of what to do with that cowbell I have somewhere in the garage... chuckles1

The G9/A weighs in at a scant 9.6 oz. Located where it is, you can't tell the difference in weight. If anything the rifle balances better as it shifts the weight a bit rearward. I still hate thieves though. My design, my money to develop, my time (3 1/2 years).

Agreed...it is a pretty piss poor thing to do to someone.  After posting, I considered that might actually even out the balance a bit being in the center and all....

So please go sound off in the Hical and Fringe posts that it is stolen and NOT their design. Thanks.

RM, to clarify, it wasn't HiCal. it was another Canadian Company though. Now, another Canadian Company "claims" to have a mag adapter for the SKS. And guess what, it looks just like ours as well. They are Fringe Firearms. Take a look at theirs. Go comment in their thread as well. And I still hate thieves of any ilk.

Omg!  Ya that looks like a total rip-off of your design Marcus.
Very dirty!
I edited my posts on CGN, removing the pics and adding some appropriate comments in their place.
Curious to see if they get edited.

That's it, time to invade Canada.
It's sad that the motto of young Americans isn't "live free or die" or "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" or even "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country". Instead their motto is "pee yourself, shelter in place and cry for help". Pathetic.

I'm in Carl! I'm sending them a photo of my butt too  rofl  that should distract them long enough for us to cross the border.

Marcus do you really have any recourse outside of spending gazillions of dollars and years in court...seriously? That's the part that gripes my behind about thugs like this, they know you don't have a lot of options.

I filed the 'place holder' in May 2014. We recently filed 'step 2' with the USPTO. There may be a 'step 3' also. It is in the works. It takes from 2-5 years to actually get the approved patent. But, with the May 2013 filing, we are protected.
