SKS Paratrooper Redux

[graycrait]

My latest evolution. This thing is a nifty little semi-auto in a useful and comparatively inexpensive caliber.

What an interestingly attractive rifle. The AFG was a nice touch.

What kind of optic do you have there? Do you have any issues with it not holding zero?

I took off the Scout Mount and reinstalled the front rear SKS sight with the hope that the plastic won't warp, flex, bend, soften up or otherwise knock my Millet MultiDot off its generous zero. I expect 6MOA at 100yrds and MOF (felon) at 75yrds and in. If the TAPCO gas tube cover doesn't work with my "relatively cheap" I'll go back to the Scout Mount. I've used Trijicons, Doctors, Aimpoints and I can't remember but these Millets work well enough for me for what I do with them.

Here is the Mak 90 that I Bubba'd up. Standard stock, Ultimak, and I can't remember what optic is on the thing. I like the SKS much better. I wonder where that thing is now?

Shoot man, ya know I see an SKS dressed like that and I sorta want to be offended, but I can't. Good old work horse built to suit what you want/need. Thing a frigin beauty. I like the look of the scout mount on it too, if the eye relief works right that's be a perfect application.

Here is what it looked like with stock furniture and Scout Mount in place of rear sight.

You wouldn't want to sell the scout mount by chance do ya? if so drop me an email @ niceguyfromtn@yahoo.com. Sweet looking guns too BTW.

I am going to keep the Scout Mount for the time being on a suggestion by a good friend who shoots a lot of tactical stuff. He thinks the plastic TAPCO gas tube cover with rail won't hold accurately enough for me. I'll have to see. In any case I am going to hang on to it for a while.

A friend of mine has his SKS drilled and tapped for a fold over traditional weaver mount and that works good.

Like a dummy I have two different receiver covers with integral rails - they were a waste of money.
