    Default SKS issue

    So my wife's dad gave me an SKS with a foldable plastic stock and a scope on it with a couple 30 rd and 5 rd detachable mags. Only problem is, I can't get the mags to seat. There doesn't seem to be enough room for the mag to sit in the stock and catch, the top of the mag bumps against the bottom of the receiver. Was this supposed to have one of the internal mags? I did take it to a range and manually loaded a couple of rounds directly into the chamber, so I do know it fires, extracts and ejects.

    The guns is a Norinco SKS Sporter in 7.62x39.

    Yes it came with a fixed 10 round mag. As Goodburban says you have to hold the bolt back to insert the aftermarket mag unless you do this bolt modification. http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=23876.0

    Throw away the detachable magazine, replace with stock 10 round magazine.Problem solved.

    This. If you want a reliable 7.62x39 that takes detachable mags just buy an AK.

    Since I already have an AK (cheap Roamnian one, but still) I'll just figure out how to slap one of the internal ones in it and see if I can sell the detachable mags on Ebay or something. I might try to find a wood stock for it too.

    I had two, but they are spoken for now.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
