Still Blogging... Just Bussy

As the title states, I am still blogging, I'v just been bussy. School is entering it's final steps and has sucked up most of my free time. Once I graduate I should be able to post a little more. On one note; I am currently contemplating some new SKS projects. There have been some new rules put out by the BATFE regarding 9.22(r) regulations that show that you only need to replace four parts on a Chinese SKS to make it compliant. Tapco is also developing a US made bolt with a spring loaded firing pin. I have a few projects in mind:

Project A:
Paractical-Tactical Paratrooper;
Take my SKS Paratrooper and put on the following:
- Tapco Gas Piston
- Tapco T6 stock
- Tapco SKS Bolt
This would allow me to use the stock SKS 10 round magazine which is a fixed box magazine. It is not a detachable magazine. This would allow me to use the Tapco T6 stock, which features a pistol grip and a collapsable stock, while being complaint with the Connecticut assualt weapons ban!

Project B:
Modern Rifleman's SKS:
Take a full size Chinese SKS;
- Remove the bayonet, put on:
- Tapco Gas Port
- Tapco SKS Bolt
- Tapco 20 Round Detachable
Again this would comply with 9.22(r) and the Connecticut assualt weapons ban.

These are just a few of the ideas I have. I won't have the time or money to do them all in one shot but rather over the next few years. Heck, some may always only be an idea but it shows the neat moddability of the SKS rifle; just be sure to follow the laws and be safe! The one I AM going to do, pending info I can gather from the state about doing the T6 stock legally, is the Practical-Tactical Paratrooper. In addition to the stock I would like to mount my Tasco Red Dot. Then buy some ammo so my neighbor and I can enjoy our SKS rifles!

Till next time; Keep your powder dry and try a little love and luck (and you'll get by!).
