Another SKS cranked out by the Khyber Pass Team
« on: April 04, 2020, 02:31:59 PM »
Hi Fellas,

I was gonna wait until this rifle was completely done, but I didn't.

I call this rig the Canadian Deer Stalker. This little jewel in the rough came to me with a horrible 18.5" barrel chop, and no front sight. The blue is in nice condition, didn't seem to have been shot much, if at all. The receiver, bolt, carrier, & trigger group matches, so the fire control group is GTG. The the muzzle was faced, & an 11* crown done, and there was enough stock muzzle tip left to put on a neutered front sight globe. On this rifle I went with a Mojo rear sight. I like it, it's quick, and handles nice. The mag didn't match so I put an unnumbered 5 rounder on, then put the whole she-bang in a Butler Creek stock. I still have to cold blue the muzzle. Other than the barrel length, coulda come from an importer like this, and there were commercial 18.5" SKSs produced. It's a keeper. PAX

Those 'bubba's' are still nice guns, may not be collectible but we all know the reliability of the SKS system,  with decent accuracy to boot.  I'd buy 'em cheap, but I'd buy 'em.

Thanks Guys,

It was in an ATI Monty with a Tech 200 rear, but I got too thin relieving the ATI's wrist. I worked that area over to fit my hand better, and relieved the receiver channel also to accommodate the T200. Although the BC furniture is lighter and fits great. You can't really tell, but the hand guard is a tapered fit, I think off a Ramline. I stole the proprietary BC HG for another project.
