This is a unique SKS for sure, in looks and operation. It uses the AK47 magazines. The thumbhole stock is larger than typical so it fits a normal size hand |
 |
The SKS is a semi-automatic carbine, designed in 1945 by Simonov. It is known as the Self-loading Carbine, Simonov's system, 1945 or SKS 45.
It was originally planned to serve as the new standard issue weapon for the Soviet military forces, But as mass production of AK-pattern rifles increased, the SKS was phased out of service |
 |
The sporter stock is not liked by many but it fits well in the hands and makes for a sturdy platform |
 |
The front end of the SKS-M is shorter like the "paratrooper models" |
 |
The SKS-M uses the AK47 magazine which makes it almost a hybrid of the SKS and AK47 |
