It's a magazine, not a clip. To install one, you have to field strip the rifle to the point where you remove the trigger assembly - once this is completed, you can remove any existing fixed magazine and replace it with another fixed magazine of your choosing. Instructions can be found at the related links at the bottom.
The clip does not lock into the rifle. To load the SKS, you would first lock the bolt to the rear (this requires the magazine to be inserted). You would then take the clip - which holds ten rounds of ammunition - and insert it into the slot at the front of the bolt carrier. You would then push down on the rounds to feed them from the clip into the magazine. After the magazine is loaded, you then pull upwards to remove the clip, at which point, you can chamber a round and begin firing. See related link "SKS carbine operations" for a visual demonstration of this process. If you're looking for how to install the magazine into the SKS, check the related link "SKS Assembly and Disassembly". See also the related link "Clips vs. Mags"
Yes. You need to remove the trigger assembly and possibly even the stock (not necassarily though) and you can just pull it out. Reassemble and it will be ready for a mag
The SKS isn't an assault rifle, either by the BATFE's definition, or by the actual definition. Value is going to be dependent on exact model - the Chinese made several variations of the SKS. Depnding om condition, with the missing magazine (not clip), and assuming you have the basic Type 56 carbine in good working order, you could expect between $120 - $200 for it.
After you feed the rounds from the clip into the magazine, you simply pull up on the stripper clip and take it out of the loading guides at the front of the bolt carrier.
Are you talking about the clip to load rounds into the magazine, or the magazine itself? It is a magazine, not a clip.. In regards to the clip, the answer will be yes. In regards to the magazine, the answer is no - the SKS-M uses a detachable AK magazine.
No. PA does not require gun registration- and the SKS is not an assault rifle- it is a semi auto rifle with a fixed magazine.
SKS
Assault rifle is a legal term, and laws vary place to place. Under MOST of them, it is a centerfire semi-auto rifle larger than 22 caliber, with a removeable magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, and a pistol grip. The SKS does not have a pistol grip, and has a fixed 10 round magazine. Not an assault rifle.
AK-47, Mosin-Nagant, SKS, some Dragunovs, the M14 and the M1 Garand are a few
One can purchase an SKS rifle from a variety of locations. These include a good hunting store, a rifle store, and some of the larger supermarkets such as Walmart.
No mods are needed to take the other mags,just tear the rifle down,when you do this the stock 10 round mag will fall out! then put it back together and your new mag will fit but, keep in mind the sks is not made to have detach mag!
