How do I load a 30 rnd. clip in my Yugo SKS 59/66 rifle?
110821
my SKS had a fixed 10 round mag.  i bought a 30 rounder.  there was no way that the 30 would fit into the 10.  so i gave it to another guy.

Bound's Hubby here:\n\n"Boker" is absolutely correct!\n\nAs an important aside, do not think that the scope is going to vastly improve the accuracy of your SKS! The SKS is an inherently inaccurate rifle. I was firing a match a couple years back, and the match director allowed a competitor fire his SKS, until he was "removed" from the match when his rifle was unable to stay on a 6' by 6' target at 300 yards!\n\nI believe that of the two alternate scope mounts "Boker" told you about, the mount that replaces the rear sight would be the best. In order to use this scope mount successfully, you will also need a "Long Eye Relief" scope. \n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour VSS should be a very accurate rifle. I have read a number of articles over the years about how high powered rifles could be shot with cast loads to shave the shooting costs. It was not until I started casting my own handgun bullets (especially for magnum rounds) and bullets for my BPCR loads, that I fully understood the dynamics of cast bullet shooting. \n\nWhen I shoot my 700 Varmint for 1000 yard matches, my 175 gr. Sierra MatchKing trucks along at about 2550 fps. Your cast bullet should move along no faster than about 1100 fps if the bullet is not hard cast and not wearing a gas check. If the bullet is hard cast and wearing a gas check, you might be able to push the velocity to about 1600 fps. Do not even expect the cast bullet to be on paper with the same sight settings as your jacketed loads ... just isn't going to happen! Expect your cast loads to be good for about 50 ft of accuracy (to 50 ft in distance, not 50 ft. groups!). \n\nOne thing I would do is to check your bore ... if it looks like the barrel turned to silver, and there is not noticeable rifling, you have filled the rifling with lead and need to remove it! This would be because the bullets were not hard cast, and were too soft! A very long and tedious task! If this is the case, you have saved no money with your practice rounds!\n\nFor the rare occassions when I get to practice with my Varmint/Target rifle, I load up surplus 147 grain FMJBT bullets. As you know, the bullet is the largest expense in reloads. You can get the 147s real cheap (make sure they have lead cores, not steel cores).

Send it to a gunsmith as far as I know, if there's an alternative I didn't find it for mine and it's heavy enough to be something I'd like to have fixed. \n\nThe second link, below, talks about some of the issues you are seeing. They recomend DIY modifications, not something I could recomend in these litigation happy days.\n\nThere are a few places offering instructions or instructional CDs on how to do your own. I've included one link below, naturally this comes with the usual caveats, if you monkey with your trigger according to these directions and it all goes horribly wrong don't come crying to me. Personally, when it reaches the top of my list I'll send it to someone who can do warranty work if they make a mess of it.

Just get yourself some 3/8" inch dovetail rings...or commonly called ".22 rings" for the gun..it's a one piece integral ring/mount.  It should fit like a charm...

http://www.surplusrifle.com/\n\nRead the info in the guns section, then go to the forums section and read through all the posts in the semi-auto section. \n\nThere are marks....letters and symbols stamped into the metal on the receiver and barrel. These will not only tell you the country of manufacture but the factory and year. Join the Surplus Rifle forums and post what you find, and pics if possible. Lots of helpful people there. \n\nFirst made by Russians, they were made by China, Albania, Yugoslavia, East Germany and probably more (never heard of Egypt making them though?)\n\nThe SKS is a great rifle capable of decent mid-range accuracy, rugged, easy to tear down and clean. DO NOT shy away from the cheap surplus ammo (OK, it's not cheap anynmore!). Ammo that is 'corrosive' just needs a quick cleaning at the range with a patch soaked in Windex, then a patch of oil. No worries, no problems, been doing it for two decades and no rust.

First I Invite you to join the swedish Mauser Yahoo group. Next If you have never used open sights, heres the $.02 lesson. Sight the bullseye (plate) to sit directly above the front sight ( without the gap)\n\n                                 O\n                                  II\n\n\nThe rear notch is alined like this:\n                                     \n                              &#92;||/\n\nSo when you shoot, focus the eye on the front sight thus making the bullseye fuzzy and all aligned like this:( but no gap!) Adjust your hold till the rounds hit the black\n\n\n\n                                O\n                               &#92;||/

forget the .44, its still just a pistol round. fine to 100 or 150 yards but beyond that no. 30-30 is good to 200 yds and has killed about as many deer as any round, its cheap and easy to shoot but its not the flattest shooting thing out there, you need to know your rifle. 30-06 and .308 are almost clones ans both are fine calibers, the 06 will handle heavier slugs better however due to the longer neck. 7mm is also a fine round, flat shooting with more that enought power but for your uses its almost overkill. other cartridges to consider- .243, flat shooting and easy recoil, accurate and powerful enought for any deer- 8mm, .303 , 7.62R close matches for the .308 and 06. and enjoying a comeback as surplus rifles are getting easier to find. an out of the box round to think about is the 7.62x39 soviet in an SKS. cheap gun that with a change of sights is useably accurate and effective to 200yds for deer, about = to the 30-30 and there's some good ammo being made for it. for those that want knockdown power there's the 45-70 and the marlin .450 in the guide gun. \n   as to rifles there's not a lot of real differences between any major brand. its more what you like, can afford, and can find easily. i have used about every action and each wil work well. the bolt is the strongest and may be the most accurate but for 200yds any action is accurate enought. pumps, levers, and auto are faster for the second shot and may be shorter and handier in brush. whatever floats your boat. BTY savage arms makes some of the best shooting guns today and as i said the SKS is a much better gub than most prople think. don't think you have to own a high priced rifle when there's many less expensive ones that will do just as well.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nTypically, you can get parts and schematics (for a price) from Numrich Arms (see link below). They do have a schematic on-line you can access for the Model 99 (same link).\n\nGood luck!

Just write or email Guns and Ammo magazine..... the should be able to give you more info based upon the serial number.  Hope this helps.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI would strongly suggest that you try Brownells. Brownells is the Home Depot/Lowe's for gunsmiths. If they don't have it or they can't find it, it's either not worth the price to buy (too cheap) or it doesn't exist. \n\nGood luck.

Check with a gunsmith or several gunsmiths.  You'd be surprised at the spare parts they might just have stored away waiting for just such an occasion.  \n\nI found a magazine for an old Mauser pistol this way and iron-sights for my Belgium made .22 caliber Browning automatic.  \n\nGood luck.\n\nH

Chances are that you forgot to bell the empty case. I have done that myself! \n\nIn a nutshell to reload you:\n1) clean the cases\n2) deprime and resize each case\n3) bell or expand the case mouth\n4) prime the case\n5) load the powder\n6) seat the bullet\n7) crimp the casemouth\n\nBlast away! \n\nYou might want to subscibe to a yahoo group on handloading. I have learned a lot in the last couple of years. \n\nhttp://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/handloading/\n\nHave fun and be safe!

i have a model 70, clip fed semi auto.  it was bought new in the late 70's.  so i'm guessing your gun was made in the 50's or 60's.  neither one is worth much.
