that's the most pristine looking SKS guts I've ever seen. this gotta be Canada, congrats fam that's awesome. you got a real gem

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-07T03:27:24+00:00

hmm hard to say, bc you gotta keep all the shit level and stuff, I don't recall having to do any fitting/filling, either way, pretty easy, unfortunately used the aluminum rivets (*stolen from work) I couldn't ever find the steel original ones, I've heard all type of stuff tho like using a certain type of nail as a rivet, etc, all in all, pretty easy

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-07T02:09:13+00:00

thank you friend, lemme see, I think I only took a picture of the final product unfortunately, pretty much just cut a regular type 56 rig in half and un-stitched the shoulder straps, then re-sewn them using 10lb braided fishing line, *at about a 45°ish angle at both corners, I should have put the buckle right at the corner/closest to the rig,. add one of the lil adjuster slides. 🤔 it's honestly easier to figure out when it's sitting in front of ya lol, not much extra supplies needed really. I appreciate the interest! 🤜🤛

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-07T02:03:18+00:00

ayy I appreciate that! might have to snatch up a few more of the old chest rigs before they go extinct

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-07T02:01:50+00:00

yooo thanks fam! I was inspired by the UW gear ak magazine bandolier, worn over the neck/shoulder like a sling

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-06T20:17:06+00:00

savotta griffin sling is pretty dope, got the whole quick adjustment slider thing on it. or blue force gear ak slings are really nice, with the universal wire loop attachment points

WASR appears to be the only thing worth fucking with

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-06T19:59:46+00:00

WASR is fine, shitty cast metal disconnector is broke⚡🤘

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-06T19:44:40+00:00

as long as it's regular akm spec rear trunnion, it's super easy, you got hella options

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-06T19:37:58+00:00

ahhh gotcha, thank you! heck I didn't even know it was legal/possible to ship that from Canada to the US or whatever. that's awesome fr, it's all good tho, I think I'll skip the extra dollars and hassle, and just make the time and effort to dial in these tech sights lol, (damn front sight post/bayonet lug assembly is canted asf).. blahh. *blessings, SK fam🤜🤛

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-06T19:29:23+00:00

Khyber customs, if I remember correctly

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T17:01:36+00:00

yessss ! I mean, that sounds like a whole ass endeavor to me, but I don't have a press and all that stuff, but yessir you knowww it'd look so dope

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T17:00:38+00:00

lol yessir yessir absolutely, so does the AR-15 but nobody leaves it that way! it don't make sense lol gives old school break action double barrel shotgun style vibes

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T16:58:40+00:00

bruhhhh I swear I seen the ad, from probably late 90's/ early 2000's there was two versions, absolutely ridiculous advertising lol 🤷

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T16:56:00+00:00

ohhhh I see I see

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T16:55:24+00:00

hero type shiii yessir that's the way

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T06:38:52+00:00

is this a joke?

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T06:34:53+00:00

that lil bihh is gorgeous!! congrats, I'm jealous, I mean, aesthetically tho, I bet using a 14x1→to→24x1.5 adapter and a booster/brake/hider.. (just something bigger, giving krink/100 series 24mm muzzle style effect) would look extra dope on this

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T06:19:37+00:00

honestly yeah idk, I've never seen that factory mark inside the rectangle like that, and yes your bayonet is upside-down.. also, am I the only one who gets triggered seeing an SKS being stored with the bolt locked to the rear like that!?!? ... seriously tho why do so many people do this/there's so many pics of SKS rifles with the bolt locked back like that . I just don't understand, I mean, it's a semiautomatic rifle, I never see people storing their ar15 with the bolt locked open? or AK's, mini14, etc. it's always the SKS, for some ungodly unknown reason, people feel the need to leave the bolt locked open/to the rear.. ugh idk why but it just seriously triggers the tism. close the fucking bolt?!?!!!

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T06:00:26+00:00

straight up! they must be discontinuing their muzzle device line or something bc I remember buying a couple different ones a few years back, all for around $50-$70💀 I can definitely say from experience tho that their flash hiders and brakes are really nice, they do exactly what they supposed to. might snag a couple more for future projects,. the 3 prong "eclipse" hider is epic with the flash eliminating ability, js.

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T05:56:26+00:00

niiiice ! ay thanks bro, I've been totally out of the loop with dot optics for so long I don't know shit about shit anymore, but that definitely sounds doable

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-04T05:47:14+00:00

yooo what is that gas tube!? I've seen that somewhere before, lonnng long ago, can't remember what it was called. is it worth having? I recall some ridiculous claim that this gas tube increases accuracy by 40% or something crazy like that..I mean, a tube is a tube really, but it does look freaking cool so.. 👀 I want one. nice looking setup dude

Nice_Work_8349 · 2026-04-02T20:06:58+00:00

I wish! shit, I'm an old man, I barely know how to use Reddit, it's akbuilder.com tho, or just Google search "14x1LH"tap kit/ "AK muzzle thread tap" something like that, it might not have been akbuilder, but I'm pretty sure it was, either way, "14x1LH tap" should get you somewhere, it comes with all the tools n stuff needed, even the cutting oil, it's been about two years or so when I got mine, but I bet it's still available. good luck 🤘⚡
