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.

These mags will be fine without modifying the rifle, but I do recommend doing the bolt mod so you can insert it with the bolt closed.

I remember I had to file my Tapco mags a bit, was easy took like 5 mins
