Dumb question

I had a guy tell me some SKS models will take a AK mag. Is this true?

    It is fact that damaged barrel at the muzzle or a damaged or bad crown can affect accuracy and shot placement. Has anyone ever tried to alter the muzzle or crown to inprove or move shot placement in the desired direction as needed ?
    ( old double barreled shot gun into smooth bore double rifle.)
    "just curious."

    Do black powder revolvers and starter's pistols (solid barrels, only able to fire blanks, used to train dogs) require the buyer to be 21? Are there any other regulations that apply to these? My younger shooting buddies are always asking questions that I can't answer. Thanks.

    Now I know you can shoot 38s in a 357 revolver. but my question is can you shoot 380s in a 9mm revolver?

    If you have a single shot or a O/U with 3" chamber can you use a 2 3/4 shell in it.[:o)]

    This may seem like a dumb question, but I read something the other day that is really bugging me. It seems, in the article that I read, this gentleman(?) was shooting at people with an 1895 Winchester chambered in 30.06???????? Was this rifle chambered in this caliber? Just didn't seem right to me.

    Thanks

    True. They are the SKS-D & SKS-M models; they were factory-made to accept AK mags.

    That is cool as I'm looking to get an SKS-D. What might the benefit of an AK mag be? Bigger?

    A real REMOVABLE MAG is the benefit.
    Yes, you can get the 'duckbill' removable mags for the SKS, but having some that work well is not common. Even the best duckbill mags will not swap out like an AK mag will.

    It is a common topic...removable mags on an SKS. Search for it if you like.... Most end in comments similar to " If you want to keep the high capacity mag on your SKS, just re-charge it with stripper clips " .

    Remember: For firearms and ammunition there are no dumb questions, only tragic results.

    If you can find one, be prepared to spend quite a bit more than a regular SKS.

    I have an SKS Paratropper model that uses AK mags....like the concept, but lost interest in SKS shooting...let me know if you are interested.
