Why bother modding an SKS? The Russians thought they were just about perfect the way they are.... and the Russians do know a bit about guns.
If it were me, friend, I would get the SKS, buy a bit of ammo.... then save my money for another neat gun. There are lots more out there, you know. I bought a Vetterli-Vitali in 1961 and I'm STILL finding interesting things to pick up. My latest? SKS.
Welcome aboard.
