That's a great looking project!
How was putting the extended mag release on the hical?
I've wanted to put my SKS with the mag adapter into one of their chassis but wasn't sure about fitament

The extended release is a straight drop in part, just have to disassemble and reassemble
If you're handy with some basic tools, don't mind getting dirty and have some patience, it's very doable at home.

Oh hell yea! I'm not a fan of the hical mag release, I'll def go for the magpul one.
I installed the mag adapter so now I have a new project I guess!

Not a big fan of aftermarket Sks stock. Tend to hate them all.
This intrigues me though... genuinely impressed at how good they got this looking.
How was doing the mag adaptor??

It was a bit of a pain but not too terrible. I had to mill out the chassis quite a bit and mill out a channel for the mag release. I decided to chop off the mag flare off the chassis to make it look neater too. All done with files, Dremel and small hacksaw

My bad I forgot to list it, it's the sun optics full rail

Where'd you find one? Haven't seen them in stock anywhere

u/harryfrogman Mar 09 '26
I got mine from Dominion outdoors back in 2024. I just checked and I can't find them on the site anymore

There’s just something uncanny about these builds. I think it’s the thin long unthreaded barrel. Just looks out of place to me but damn the rest of this build looks great

It's also the long gas tube system, not much you can do to hide it.
I'm working on a no-thread muzzle brake for the SKS, we'll see how far I get with it.

u/thecoolernameistaken Mar 09 '26
Good luck honestly. Something reverse style would look pretty nice but I see how you can have a hard time making it happen

u/harryfrogman Mar 09 '26
There are no thread brakes out there and they are soso. Some lock into the front sight with a pin and some just use screws to secure it. Only real good option is to thread the barrel unfortunately
2
u/NEUMANN-METALWORKS Neumann Metalworks Mar 09 '26
I don't disagree, the barrel is tapered which makes it hard to use a clamp on method. I think it can be done though... if it's a piece of shit I won't sell it :P

Yeah it bothers me a little too, I'd like to thread the barrel myself and add one of those reverse fake cans

u/sargentmyself al Mar 09 '26
Pretty sure TNA has threading kits, you've already removed the sight post and bayonet lug, might as well thread it

Was this one of the blemishes ones? What grade was it?

I dont hate it and kinda wanna imitate the build, alas I missed out on the recent run of chassis and my gunsmith hasnt done a Hical adapter job before :T would B nice to have a set up like this sometime tho, thanks for the inspiration

u/harryfrogman Mar 09 '26
The hical job isn't too terrible to do yourself if you're handy, I did mine with a Dremel and it works perfectly. I hope you get to source a chassis some day !

How did you attach the gap spacer? Was thinking of using glue but not sure.
Does it have any play in the chassis? Mine moves forward and back quite a bit.
What type of dremel bit did you use for the hical adaptor install?
Looks great nice work!
2
u/harryfrogman Mar 10 '26
For the gap spacer I drilled and tapped a hole for a hex bolt like the rest of the provided hardware. This allows me to remove it for cleaning or for whatever other reason.
It does not have any play, I glued a metal dowel in the space provided for the spring that's normally under the trigger group in the wooden stock (the TNA chassis provides a hole in the same spot). It's just the right size to take up the play and still allow the trigger group to latch into the receiver. It might be better explained in one of my older posts about the project. The play mine had was up and down not forward and back though.
Carbide burr bits are what you're looking for, you can get a set on Amazon that will have all the shapes you'll need.

Absolutely despicable removing it from the wood stock. Who did the work out of only peak curiosity?
