No, 308 Win is like the 7.62 X 51 not the 7.62 X 39. The 308 Win will not chamber in an SKS it is too long.

What caliber can you use in a sks instead of 762x39?

None. Unless it has been rebored to another caliber. Most unlikely.


Will a sks shoot a 7.62 x 51 bullet?

No. The SKS fires a 7.62x39 cartridge, but actually uses a .311 bullet. The 7.62 x51 is too long for the SKS action, the chamber of a SKS is too short for the cartridge, the power of the 51 is too high for the SKS action, and the bullet of the 7.62x51 is actually .308, not .311. Does not match up in any way.


Can any sks mag fit in any sks?

All of the fixed ten round mags are cross compatible, but cannot be used in the SKS-M or SKS-D, both of which use a detachable AK magazine.

Can the Russian sks use 223 ammo?

No. ALL SKS rifles - Soviet, Chinese, Albanian, Yugoslav, Chinese, Romanian, N. Korean, N. Vietnamese and East German - are chambered for the 7.62x39 M1943 cartridge, and can facilitate only that cartridge.


Can you fit an ak 47 magazine into an sks?

As originally designed, no. There were two models of the SKS made in China that were made to use AK type magazines, but most SKS carbines are meant to use a fixed 10 round magazine. Many people have attempted to modify an SKS to accept Ak magazines, with indifferent success. It requires reworking wood and metal.

How do you clean a Russian sks assault rifle?

The website surplusrifle.com has good information on MANY different rifles and pistols, including the SKS. Follow instructions on field stripping, and use the supplied cleaning rod and parts. If you do not have the original cleaning rod, you will need to get a cleaning rod, a .30 cal ore brush, and a patch holder. If you are shooting corrosive primed ammo (most older Soviet and Chinese ammo IS corrosive) then the bore and gas piston will need to be washed with hot soapy water.
