The article says this jerk had an “AK-47-style rifle”. I’m trying to find out exactly what it is. One place said it was and SKS. Anyone know for sure what it was?

A crime scene picture of the rifle has been released.

It is an SKS with an aftermarket stock, a 30 round magazine, and a telescopic sight.

I could not tell if the rifle was one of the variants made to take AK magazines or if the magazine was one of the 30 round aftermarket addons, which were made to take the place of the semi-fixed 10 round magazine.

I have not seen any information about what ammunition was there, if any.

I think it was a SKS modified to use AK47 magazines.

A pedestrian surplus semiautomatic rifle.
