Gun and gear reviews SKS detachable magazines!

Post image

Planning to buy my first SKS and looking to get detachable magazines as well. I would prefer an option that does not require any modification to the original wooden stock.

I have heard good things about the Tapco mags. Do they require any modification to fit, or can I simply remove the fixed magazine and install the detachable one?

Would appreciate any recommendations or experiences and also, where’s the best place to buy one. All I see online is the Tan colour one. Looking for one in black.

I had to file down sharp edges on tapco mags for them to work properly just by hand. Feed lips and the outside edges.
