Well my SKS deer rifle is getting there.
Norinco SOG barreled receiver. No idea who magazine. Russian Tula bolt and bolt carrier. No idea who FCG, maybe Yugo (or if Norinco there are slight changes in the manufacture of a couple of the parts. Forged housing rather than stamped). Also no idea who stock (maybe Yugo?).
It took a lot of fitting on the reciever stud and lots that holds the FCG in through the trigger guard. At first it wouldn’t snap in at all. Then it wouldn’t snap in well, and wouldn’t fit in to the stock at all. A bit of time with a file and sand paper and then reblued and tight as a...
Well it is a very tight fit.
The top cover off my other Norinco needs fitting to get on this one...which ain’t happening. Just getting a different top cover eventually. But with it on and the guide rod and spring out of my working Norinco, it cycles a dummy round from the mag, to chamber, hammer falls when the trigger is pulled and then it extracts and ejects the round with the bolt hold open working.
So yay! Getting closer. Still unsure what order my gun projects are going to go. I am tempted to get the gas parts and new cover so I can have a 2nd working SKS as I’ve got less than $100 in parts left I need.
At the same time, the final build list includes a rear sight pic mount, scout scope and synthetic stock. Which is more like $150-200 of extra parts on top of the gas parts and top cover.
My AR-10 on the other hand needs about $200 of parts to be done. And I have no working AR-10s...
Probably finish the AR-10. It’s been languishing (in part because my stupid ass bought up the SOG barreled receiver and then decided to get some harder to find parts and now also got a G19 80%. At least that WILL wait a long time).
