    SKS Paratrooper

    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.

    4 times. never reaching the reserve.
