Had a [aratrooper model with 20 round box mag. I went to detachables and like an idiot gave the box mag away to a friend. When I sold it I had detachable mags and a folding poly stock on it. It was a bit heavy.

The first two SKSs that I bought were in the old Zytel folders Since the paratrooper was never a military configuration, I don’t mind having a 20 round fixed in it. I paid less than $8 for mine, and shelved it, long ago. They go for more than $100, now. Even the 10 round fixed are like hen’s teeth.

Some of the FB pages are fights between purists and modifiers. It gets a bit tiresome, if occasionally humorous.
