“all these people spouting off ignorance about guns again! LOL”
And you with a picture of a ruined M model sks.....
You do realize there was never a paratrooper model of the sks right? And whomever cut down that Sks-m you have there ruined the resale.
Also with a mill you can get any sks to accept ak mags so watch for that trick when buying. M models command a much higher price....thus alot of bastard m models are around.
There were chicom sks models that were imported with detachable mags and 16 inch barrels.
That was a marketing ploy by an importer, I believe. The earlier versions were called "Cowboy's Companions." "Paratrooper" was less gay, I guess.
