umm you do know everytime you insert a magazine you are "constructing a firearm" and it is in felony configuration of 922 r with BATF last i checked but hey if you know somthing i dont know please enlighten me
Once I pull the mounted mag out....the slide comes slamming closed and will not say open until i put the tapco mag or the stock mag back in.....I see yours stays open.....am I missing something???
i was just at my local gun shop and they told me not to mod it out to 20 because the mags always seem to jam. can you give me and info on jamming issues?
Here in Canada, our center fire firearms have to be pinned to only five rounds. I found site out of British Columbia that carries these mags, pinned to five and I'm tempted to get one just to sexy up my SKS
@pibn8tive Being a Canadian you can not purchase theses 20 round mags from the U.S. They have laws that do not allow them to ship certain weapons or accesories over the boarder. Canadian regulation also limit your mag to be no more than 5 rounds; however, you can still purchase a 20 round Tapco mag pined at 5 rounds. Therefore you get the great look of the 20 rounder but not the 20 shots. The Canadian store is Fabsports out of Montreal. Retail for 29.95 + shipping
Oh man I thought I had to do some cutting and filing to some magazine to fit it to one of those sks rifles, thank god I don't! Thank you for the information
thank you so my step mom got my dad one of these for christmas and i am in charge of changing out the mag.i know a lot a bout guns and knifes.but its always ok to get some help.god bless.
I love mine, my dad traded me it for my M1 carbine. Great trade because you can get a box of 7.62's for 5 dollars for 20, and a box of .30cal 20 count for 40, its such a great price difference.
@MGDanceHouse the rifle has a built in hold open, the magazine follower pushes it into place, but it stays up and holds the bolt back without the need for the magazine. hope that helps
Great video. I think ill try and get some. I have one question though if anyone could answer it it would be great. Can you load the mags using a stripper clip while the mag is in the rifles like the origional box mag. Thank you.
awesome gun, already bought an AK and looking forward to getting my SKS I hate living in California with the 10 round magazine laws, thank God for 'repair kits' on magazines so i can get 30 rounders and other hi cap mags for my guns :)
For Californian's like me all you need to do is buy the magazine as a parts kit and modify it like you would a p-mag. Plenty of videos out there on how to do it. But DO NOT buy a whole mag or assemble that parts without making the necessary modifications.
@GNut1980 i have a 30 round banana style magazine their very hard to use because they came 20- to even 30 years after sks their highly unreliable and mine falls out constantly 30 rounders tend to be cheap and jam the gun frequently trust me just use the 10 rounder
i sent you a vid response with the 40 round Promag and i prefer this over the tacpo 20 rounders. the mag well is smooth and every mag slides in prefectly. this little problems is beating my ass and dont want to have 3 tapco mags i dont use. oh and your video is the reason i bought the mags and my SKS. i love it and would depend on this rifle if my life was on the line......god forbid.
I have three 20 round Tapco mags and a 40 round ProMag and 2 of 3 tapco mags do not catch the bolt when the last round ejects. I have a Yugo M59/66 SKS and was un-issued till i used it and i have removed and installed these mags numerous times and slide in like a champ but still they do not catch that bolt. it seems like they are not sitting high enough to be able to catch the bolt but they are fully inserted and locked in. the rounds feed smoothly and i have had no failures. do you have any fix
have you worked out the problem with the stripper clip loading? these things are so damn expensive in canada. I can only afford one, if I buy 4 magazines I could buy another sks. LOL anyways, great vid.
i could not get my trigger group back in thank you for the video or i wouldn't have realized i need the safety up.... also i bought the pro mags 40 rounder i would love to see a review from you
im not gettn a 20 round, but they look great. im gettn a few 30 and 40 rounders, and maybe a 50 round bannana, eventually ill get a 75 or 100 rd drum. thnx nice gun.
Hey Don, I am getting the Yugo version off a buddy of mine in about 3 more weeks or so! ? 4 u then, can I put these into that version of the gun or do I need a synthetic stock for it first. I was just curious so I know which to buy first as I am interested in a folding stock for it! Also can I take off the grenade launcher sights too?
I'm about to buy a M59/66 SKS and I own a Mosin Nagant and is the SKS just as easy to disassemble and operate? do u recommend letting the 20 round mags naturally work themselves in or take some sandpaper to make it slide in easyer.
Hahahaha. Went to the biggest gun show in NY today and saw a ton of these mags and even bough a Russian SKS with a 40 round mag. Seems like nobody cares about the NY AWB.
if you file the lips in the rear to match the 10 rd you can feed the stripper clips in easier because the stripper will sit properly aligned in the back of the mag where it's supposed to. from personal experience it takes 1/2 the time to dump 2 strippers as it takes to do a change out. plus it's less cumbersome to carry 10-20 stripper clips than 5-6 detachable mags. when i got mine the spring was really stiff so i left it fully loaded for about a week to break it in.
I'm new to your channel, Found you in TNP. Anyway have you had issues with the magazines from tapco having alot of excess plastic on the spine? I bought three and had to dremmel them so they would work.
@mrantihippie they all havetobe modified in some way. ok here in calif we got to put a bolt thru it to make it un-detachable. so you got to file here and there to make it fit then you got to load it with 10 rnd stripper clips. ok.
That's the same Norinco SKS I have and I love it. I have switched out my stock, put a scope on so I can use it or the stock sights. I put a rubber bumper inside the receiver cover too. These 20 round Tapco's are the best so far but some need their spring taken out and stretched to prevent a loose loaded clip. You can whack the clip a couple times with something to tighten the shells too. I love my sks. I saw a lot of good deals SKS at gunsamerica. Also good cheap ammo at cheaperthandirt.
so i just bought the yugoslavian sks 59/66 i also want to get a 20 or 30 round clip for mine does tapco have a website if so let me know i love the synthetic pistol grip stocks ive seen on here to hope to here from ya
Ok so if I have a Russian SKS original all matching numbers, and I put this into my gun then its illegal until I mod a bunch more parts??? Someone please let me know I live in rural upstate NY and just got the gun yesterday.
Hey Sooch , I have a Norinco SKS . Would it be possible to fit a Tapco by grinding or filing the Mag instead of my stock ? Just wondering in case I decide to go back to origional . Also I watched another video where a guy cuts off the duckbill part on a bandsaw . Have you ever tried something like that ? I assume the advantage would be faster mag changes . I have had my SKS since the early 90's when they were $100
Yes I'm wondering if or when you are going to show how to install the Tapco stock.The reason is that I do not see no one installing one with the bayonet slot or in fact installing one at all.They say that they are kinda of hard to install.But I do plan on getting one in the dark earth style.And was wondering if you can show it being installed.Thanks,and really like you reviews.
Bluez bro what kind? Russian? Yugo? There should be a push pin to remove it, its hard to hammer out depending on how old the gun is and if u have cosmo grease buildup in it
does anyone know how i might go about removing my bayonet from my sks? it makes the weapon so front heavy and doesn't allow me to add a much needed bi-pod.
Have you ever expirience any hang ups to feed if so whats the correction for that issue.im really wanting an sks i like the history and your not limited with what you can do with this rifle pretty sweet.
So can the detachable tapco magazines be loaded through the top while attached like the standard attached 5 round sks magazine or do they have to be detached, loaded, then reinserted?
Excellent video! Among the best how-to's involving the SKS I've ever seen. Just got me an SKS Tapco mag this past weekend but haven't tried it out yet. I see you're also sporting a spiffy commando sweater. I got the same one but it's black. To those in CA: You can purchase these mags but they come disassembled and are marketed as "kits." Once you assemble the "kit" you are technically breaking the law... but, I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me - ha
@whtswrngwthupeople WHAT!!! The 3rd amendment does NOT say that we aren't to have a standing army during peacetime. You have either never read the bill if rights, listened to a methhead or smoke too much pot. Or are simply greatly misinterpreting what " the quartering of troops is" my god guy! Who told you this?
hahah ur cool im in california..is it possible to get one in stores?? cause if so i can drive to arizona or nevada and buy one shit i have a 25rder for my M&P15-22
Hey whtswrngwthupeople you dumb ass, The 3rd amendment states; It is prohibited in peace time the quartering of soldiers in private homes without owners consent. It is only legally permissable in wartime only !
@sootch00 that law doesnt apply to me, I'm canadian and we dont have any kind of restriction like that. I just wanted to know if i could remove my fixed mag from my sks and then if the tapco mags will work as a detachable mag without any mods
922r is a joke. My SKS is one illegal mutt of a rifle, but it doesnt matter. Why abide by a law like that, set from a government that couldnt give a damn about you and would rather take the gun itself.
That rifle isn't 922r compliant. Also,I have a yugo which i have modified the shit out of. Now that its all done I feel like I should have just left it stock.
@sootch00 Yeah but you "built" it into an illegal configuration after the law was put into place. In its current state it wouldn't be eligible for importation. So the parts count still matters. At least that's how I interpreted the law.
@MuscIeBound The law allows for guns to be imported under the 922r restrictions. Guns already in the country are not under the importation restrictions because they were grandfathered in.
@MuscIeBound The law allows for guns to be imported under the 922r restrictions. Guns already in the country are not under the importation restrictions because they were grandfathered in.
@sootch00 a law that makes absolutely no sense, and is very hard to understand, we sure the hell do not live in a free country if we are prohibited from modifying a legal firearm just because its made in a foreign country.
@FlamingLavaOwl I'm getting ready to do a 922r compliance video series for the SKS and AK-47 using Tapco stock and parts sets. You're right. This is ridiculous but needs to be clarified. Many thanks~
@FlamingLavaOwl right on, the 2nd amendment clearly says the right shall not be infringed, meaning the people can own any military weapon, no restrctions, it also says the people have the right to organize militas. The 3rd amendment says the Govt is not allowed to have a standing army in peacetime, this is why the US govt always makes sure we have a good war going, WW1, WW2, cw, vvietam, war on drugs, etc. The US govt is clearly way out of line and this is now a facist/ communist country.
hey i heard here in texas they passed the hb1815 witch states we can have a loaded conseled wepon in are car as long as it is out og site is that true i already know we can have loaded rifles and shotguns as long as there out of reach
if i put a mag into my sks that was higher then 10 rounds like your tapco would it still be 922r compliant? i have a chinese type 56 sks that has all of its original parts.
Excellent video! I have a Russian with laminate stock, bought in the early '90s for $110. I hate to modify it, it looks and shoots so good. I might have to pony up and buy a Chinese or a Yugo just to trick it out. Seeing this vid makes me want a 20 rounder! Good job!
@motorhead992 I've had some experience with the Chinese 20 rd "Star" mags years ago and they were not very reliable. I'm not sure if the ones around today are good or not. Thanks~
I have never been a fan of the SKS until I bought one. I swapped out the 10rd for a 20 and an ATI stock, what a difference. I found that if you break the 20rd in (load and unload) they feed fine to all 20 through the stripper clip, also it is a lot faster than swapping out clips... another bonus is being able to carry a lot more ammo :) Thanks for the video!
Tapco says that its 20 round magazine counts as 3 compliance parts under 922r (magazine body, follower, and floor plate) most of the trigger group parts are available US made, and Tapco also makes a gas piston for the SKS that counts as 1 part. when upgrading your SKS, it cannot have more than 10 foreign made parts on it. if u Google "GunWiki 922r SKS" there is a checklist that will add the parts up for u and tell u if your compliant or not.
When you talk about state laws at the end of the video, it would also be worthwhile to talk about compliance issues under 18 U.S.C. 922(r). My understanding's that if you add one of these Tapco 20 round mags to your (otherwise stock) SKS, then you must also replace a bunch of the rifle's other parts with US-made parts in order to comply with 922(r) and BATFE's interpretation of it. Tapco sells parts kits for this purpose.

I got a stock that is supposed to fit all sks rifles and my Chinese one just won't work any suggestions? The trigger group won't fit

Bluez bro what kind? Russian? Yugo? There should be a push pin to remove it, its hard to hammer out depending on how old the gun is and if u have cosmo grease buildup in it

does anyone know how i might go about removing my bayonet from my sks? it makes the weapon so front heavy and doesn't allow me to add a much needed bi-pod.

So can the detachable tapco magazines be loaded through the top while attached like the standard attached 5 round sks magazine or do they have to be detached, loaded, then reinserted?

Excellent video! Among the best how-to's involving the SKS I've ever seen. Just got me an SKS Tapco mag this past weekend but haven't tried it out yet. I see you're also sporting a spiffy commando sweater. I got the same one but it's black. To those in CA: You can purchase these mags but they come disassembled and are marketed as "kits." Once you assemble the "kit" you are technically breaking the law... but, I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me - ha

@whtswrngwthupeople WHAT!!! The 3rd amendment does NOT say that we aren't to have a standing army during peacetime. You have either never read the bill if rights, listened to a methhead or smoke too much pot. Or are simply greatly misinterpreting what " the quartering of troops is" my god guy! Who told you this?

Hey whtswrngwthupeople you dumb ass, The 3rd amendment states; It is prohibited in peace time the quartering of soldiers in private homes without owners consent. It is only legally permissable in wartime only !

922r is a joke. My SKS is one illegal mutt of a rifle, but it doesnt matter. Why abide by a law like that, set from a government that couldnt give a damn about you and would rather take the gun itself.

@MuscIeBound This SKS was imported years before the ban so it's not under 922r restrictions and can be modified, but good to note. Thanks~
sootch00 1 year ago
@sootch00 Yeah but you "built" it into an illegal configuration after the law was put into place. In its current state it wouldn't be eligible for importation. So the parts count still matters. At least that's how I interpreted the law.
MuscIeBound 1 year ago
@MuscIeBound The law allows for guns to be imported under the 922r restrictions. Guns already in the country are not under the importation restrictions because they were grandfathered in.

@sootch00 a law that makes absolutely no sense, and is very hard to understand, we sure the hell do not live in a free country if we are prohibited from modifying a legal firearm just because its made in a foreign country.

@FlamingLavaOwl I'm getting ready to do a 922r compliance video series for the SKS and AK-47 using Tapco stock and parts sets. You're right. This is ridiculous but needs to be clarified. Many thanks~
sootch00 1 year ago
@FlamingLavaOwl right on, the 2nd amendment clearly says the right shall not be infringed, meaning the people can own any military weapon, no restrctions, it also says the people have the right to organize militas. The 3rd amendment says the Govt is not allowed to have a standing army in peacetime, this is why the US govt always makes sure we have a good war going, WW1, WW2, cw, vvietam, war on drugs, etc. The US govt is clearly way out of line and this is now a facist/ communist country.

Excellent video! I have a Russian with laminate stock, bought in the early '90s for $110. I hate to modify it, it looks and shoots so good. I might have to pony up and buy a Chinese or a Yugo just to trick it out. Seeing this vid makes me want a 20 rounder! Good job!

kangaroobob1995 1 year ago
I have never been a fan of the SKS until I bought one. I swapped out the 10rd for a 20 and an ATI stock, what a difference. I found that if you break the 20rd in (load and unload) they feed fine to all 20 through the stripper clip, also it is a lot faster than swapping out clips... another bonus is being able to carry a lot more ammo :) Thanks for the video!

Tapco says that its 20 round magazine counts as 3 compliance parts under 922r (magazine body, follower, and floor plate) most of the trigger group parts are available US made, and Tapco also makes a gas piston for the SKS that counts as 1 part. when upgrading your SKS, it cannot have more than 10 foreign made parts on it. if u Google "GunWiki 922r SKS" there is a checklist that will add the parts up for u and tell u if your compliant or not.
volvo4377 1 year ago
When you talk about state laws at the end of the video, it would also be worthwhile to talk about compliance issues under 18 U.S.C. 922(r). My understanding's that if you add one of these Tapco 20 round mags to your (otherwise stock) SKS, then you must also replace a bunch of the rifle's other parts with US-made parts in order to comply with 922(r) and BATFE's interpretation of it. Tapco sells parts kits for this purpose.
