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.

lookup gnutzguy on youtube, he does a video fitting all magazine types to all 3 major SKS brands, yugo, russian, chinese. Certain mags work better in others.

He finds that overall the tapco's work best across all 3 of them but tapcos are hard to find these days. Watch the video and make your decision based on what SKS you get.
