It will vary depending on the make of your 30 round magazine. Rarely do I find a 30 round aftermarket magazine that works well for these rifles, and reloading with stripper clips is quite fast. If it were mine, I would not.
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!
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
None were made for the fixed magazine models. Only the detachable mag SKS-M and SKS-D can accept the detachable AK drums. Good luck trying to find one now..... but if you're going to try, gun shows would be your best bet. ***WRONG*** Answer someone posted above is way wrong! SKS drum magazines were made and are still made... Typical duckbill style to replace the original 10 round box magazine! -Vic
Yes, as it is originally configured with a fixed 10 round magazine and a fixed stock.
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.
If you meant come loose, it is because the rifle was not meant to use a 30 round magazine, and most were not meant to use a detachable mag. The standard is an attached, 10 round magazine. It is likely that yours fits poorly, feeds poorly, and will have a tendency to pop loose. Just my opinion, you are much better off with the original, since it works, and does not fall off the rifle.
Yes, but you might only be allowed to own a 10-round mag.
The number of bullets a magazine can hold depends on the type and size of the magazine. Magazines can typically hold anywhere from 5 to 30+ bullets, with some extended magazines able to hold even more rounds.
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.
When you round the 9 in the number 9.84 it will round up to the number 10.
I found a couple of websites that sell the Promag 10 round high capacity mag. Just search Makarov and you'll see it for sale. http://nvtac.com/products/ http://www.buymilsurp.com/ http://www.yourstoreonline.net/
