The Bosnian Full-Auto SKS with AK Mags (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2024-03-06 12:00:04 +0000 UTCDuring the Balkan Wars, a great many oddball guns were built and used. One of them was a Bosnian conversion of the Yugoslav M59/66 SKS to have a select-fire trigger and to use modified detachable AK magazines. These are extremely rare today, as only a few of them (probably a dozen at most) came into the US with the bulk of Yugoslav SKS imports. The ones that did arrive came with regular trigger assemblies and regular 10-round fixed magazines (and are not legally considered machine guns by ATF).
Today we will take a look at two examples, and go over the discreet changes required to make the conversion (the magazine conversion, that is - I unfortunately don't have a full auto trigger assembly to show you).

Always wanted to convert my Yugo to Ak mags but it just to much work to justify it when you can buy hi capity mags to fit Sks’s

My first long gun purchase—back in the summer of 1994 just before my 19th birthday—was a ChiCom Norinco SKS.

or grab a chincom type 81? hey I bet your face will last longer thanx to that grease. rear sight is really NOT great. other than that sks is best unmodified IMO.

I actually have a Chinese SKS-D that uses standard AK mags from the factory. It doesn't even have the cutout on the bolt for the stripper clip and the stock's magwell is shaped to just fit the AK mag. they added on some bits to the trigger pack for the mag release among other machine work to the receiver.
