@Jweirdo181 IF you have never performed ANY mods on your bolt... Then you do NOT need to perform the sksMagAdapter Bolt Mod..... HOWEVER... MANY people LOVE the "Drop-Free" bolt mod... which allows them to load and/or unload their detachable mags REGARDLESS of the sks bolt's forward or rearward position.... IF someone has done the "drop-Free" mod, THEN YES... they ought ALSO perform this sksMagAdapter bolt mod... the reason is explained at 4:35 on THIS video...
@Jweirdo181 it is 15.00 per mag... OR you COULD just watch the video we posted and mod them yourself following our very well articulated instructions... Google " Tapco 20 rnd Mod for SKS Mag Adapter "
have you taken a shot at moving the charging handle on the bolt carrier to the opposite side to make tactical reloads faster and smoother? if so i would love to see how as i intend to try this myself
@Target008 the geometry is the same for ALL magAdapters... the difference between the generations of the adapters is how they install.... I ONLY sell Gen3 adapters nowadays... the Gen 1 was just too hard to install for a LOT of guys (who maybe didn't take shop in High School)... The Gen 3 installs in 5 minutes and is a breeze...
There is not a "kit" for a SKS to convert it to use AK mags. This is due to the AK magazine being wider than the opening in the SKS receiver. The receiver requires milling to widen the magazine well, welding in a front magazine catch, and cutting the front of the trigger group off then welding a Ak mag catch on it. Also the bolt needs to be milled to narrow it so it will fit between the feed lips of the AK magazine.
is this a necessary thing to do? will the rifle function with the mag adapter without grinding down the bolt?

maybe just welding on a crescent shaped metal piece like on an albanian bolt carrier just on the opposite side....

Does this allow the use of an AK Mag? NO.
