Fooped said:On a side note what did you you use to remove the top handgrip from it's metal ring? I tried for over an hour to get that pin out, and ultimately destroyed the entire ring assembly trying to get it out. it never came out and I ended up having to bend that metal collar to get the wood piece out. I was taking it out to put in the T-6 tapco stock, until I realized that they are not Mass compliant, and put the factory stock back on. I of course, still cannot get the pin out to put the factory top hand grip back on, and thus the plastic top grip is still in place.
Milsurp and Co., how do you weigh in on the stock/mag issue, as well as how to get that accursed top grip pin out?
tele_mark said:I brought the SKS to the range Tuesday and fired off 40 rounds to test out the new Murrray's spring loaded firing pin, and everything was fine.
Question on zeroing the SKS -- I shot 20 rounds at a B-24 target at 100 yards from bench rest, and was pretty pleased that all 20 hit paper. However, all were grouped in a vertical line to the right of the 10 ring, so I'm guessing I need to do a windage adjustment. I'm going to send off for an SKS sight adjustment tool, but what distance do I use to zero the sights? I've looked a bit, and some say 25 yards, others 100 yards. One person says to avoid 50 yards.
