Pleased to be a sponsor of Survivors SKS Board
« on: February 17, 2014, 02:41:00 PM »
Wow that was fast!

Up and running within an hour of sending the donation .... thank you.

If anyone cares to visit our web site take a look , its at magwedge.com

Anything which is an actual firearm part, or replaces a firearm part will require a Form 6 to get into the US. Ask your local FFL to help. I am looking for US distributors, so if you can get a local shop interested in our products this can be a win-win for all.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on the site and chatting about SKS rifles.

You should double check on shipping mounts to the US.  I got a Canadian mount from these guys:  http://www.scdsammo.ca/product.php?item=WARTAK%20SKAR%20SD-R&id=92&cid=3.

Hi Larry, yes shipping mounts to the USA seems to be ok as they are not firearm parts, just accessories.

Other stuff we make such as the M1A/M14 spring guides ARE a firearm part and require a proper import process including a form 6 and an FFL.

So what would shipping cost be to the states? More specifically Texas, I am way more interested in yours as opposed to the Wartak rail... what kind of adjustments to the front sight would I be looking at to get it in a position to work with the grove in the rail? Also what direction does the mount cause the brass to eject in? (I am a lefty and would rather not catch brass in the face) And finally has your mount been tested with the archangel stock? any fitment issues?

Thanks for the reply your product looks pretty awesome!

Shipping is a flat $15 no matter if you are in the US or Canada.

This means I lose a bit on shipping, but I am aware that my American customers are used to lower shipping prices than what we have here in Canada, and I do value my US customers.

Brass is ejected to the right. We include a piece of velcro tape which seems to do a good job of protecting your rail and of buffering the force of the ejection of the spent shells. Lefties have it tough with a right handed semi autos, it's true, but that's the best I can offer.

Sight will need to be adjusted up and it will still tend to shoot high. It's an unfortunate consequence of having the rail sit above the receiver cover. That being said, it functions reasonably well at close ranges, and for farther away there is good old "Kentucky windage" ... or maybe in this case "Kentucky elevation". :)

I have not tried it specifically with an Archangel stock but it has been an easy fit with other aftermarket stocks, requiring the removal of about 2mm of material to accomodate the mounting bracket.

One last thing, the old model KwikRail is on sale now, so it's not a bad time to pick one up ... ;)

Sorry, I should have been more clear, I understand that the SKS will always be a right side eject however an un modified rifle tends to throw the brass more forward(which for me means away from my face) i guess what I an asking is does your rail change that at all or does the brass still go forward?

Yes brass still ejects forward and to the right. I noticed nothing particularly different about ejection when I tested the rail.

I have sold hundreds of these and none have been returned for reasons of bad ejection habits .... and I imagine at least a FEW buyers were lefties.

Awesome! thanks for the reply! looks like I have to talk the wife into letting my buy one... hope I can do so before they are out of stock... incidentally I saw a video on youtube today of your rail on an SKS in the archangel stock... it was sexy... that is absolutely the way that I am going!
