SKS Paratrooper

[recon]

In picture 4 looks like a regular ak mag there. Is that correct?

it's one of the aftermarket detachable mags, they are built similarly to AK mags, but by companies who don't give a fuck.

I'd love to get one. Looks very clean. But, I need to get more mags and ammo for what I have before I worry about more rifles.

Yup, aftermarket setup. I have 2 paratrooper carbines that were factory made and they take regular AK mags. The only disappointment with the setup is that it won't take the drum mags....stick mags-yes; drum mags-no.

Didn't the Norinco SKS-M Paratrooper take AK mags?

M and D. why will it not take drum mags, is it something that can be adjusted?

The magazine well is too deep for a drum to fit in it, modding it to fit would take too much out of the stock.

clicking on the gunbroker site lets me know this rifle has been relisted a least
4 times. never reaching the reserve.

i see 2 covered 'cowboy companion' scope mount holes...

aint worth but $200 suckers, real unmolested "CC's" are worth a bit cause they were imported as a "bubba"
