Where or who do contact to find a Bosnian magazine for the former select fire Yugo SKS?

"Select fire" as in full auto? Not sure I understand the question? Do you mean go from shooting bullets to using the grenade launcher?

1mlt,
I mean I'm looking for a modified AK-47 magazine to fit the Yugoslavian SKS that the Bosnians modified to shoot semiautomatic or fully automatic.

If you can, please post the picture of the rifle in question.  I saw it on you post on the SKS group in Facebook and it's quite fascinating.

Bosnian modified SKS

Awesome!

You know, though you may be unable to get an actual Bosnian mag, it's possible someone here could  make something for you that would work.  It looks like it might be a matter of just mixing the right parts.  There are plenty of surplus SK magazines that maybe could be modified to fit and if not, there are also older USA Mags SKS magazines (with the appropriate bolt-hold-open follower) that maybe could be used. 

Do you have access to this rifle?  If so, I'm sure everyone here would be interested in seeing how the internals work.  I'd particularly be interested in seeing how the inside of the receiver compares to the SKS-M receiver pictures I recently posted. 

Aside from that, do you have any other information about this rifle?  Like how many were made, or how they modified them?

QUESTION here?: IF it is just the bho in question, you possibly could do the drop free bolt mod. Then the mag would be removable with the bolt closed AND a full mag could be inserted, rack the bolt, shoot ...

I'm confused. Is it a standard AK mag or proprietary to the Yugo? PAX

OK, some questions here:
1. Does the gun have bho installed in the receiver? If so, it must also have the correct follower in the mag to puSh the BHO up to lock the bolt back on LRF.
2. If not, you are sol until you have it.

The last time the Bosnian "Lilly" mags were imported was 2005. They did not function well, and most ended up in the trash.
