Feets / Collection / My build The "Gigachad" Sks

Tried to avoid spending backland hunter/mk15 money by building something modernized. Some hate it, but I love it and that's what matters.

This idea was loosely inspired by garand thumbs "gigachad mosin" concept, except it lacks a muzzle device as nobody near me does barrel threading for a reasonable price or timeline.

Brand new french tickler late production, Matador arms chassis, vortex venom, magpul grip handstop and sling, archangel mags, kodiak defence rail, mcarbo light trigger spring. Probably forgetting something else. I blued the bolt and carrier before it was painted so its all black underneath.

Paint was done with krylon and rustoleum camos, winged it after watching a few videos. Scrim is burlap that I painted, frayed. And twisted 2.5" by 1 foot strips.

COMING SOON

Precision armament hypertap brake

Green ms3 sling instead of black

Backup irons

Did you have to modify the chassis to get the mags with the levers to fit?

Yeah I took a metal file and a dremel and just widened it out, theres already a groove there its just not wide enough.

Pretty easy? I am sitting with the same mags and cursing myself for buying them since they didn't fit, but if it's just the back channel AND inside (to not mar the finish), might give it a go

I just did the closed bolt mod tonight, scared tf out of me using a grinder and dremel on the bolt but it works now

Id say fairly easy, just match the back channel to the main inner walls where the mag sits, file or dremel some, try to fit it, remove more, repeat
