This review is from: Full-Auto Conversion Of The SKS Rifle (Paperback)

Well i will say this booklet does what it says, i read it and im somewhat mechanically inclined,well unlike some of the smart suggestions from other other fellows that left reviews i went ahead and did the actual conversion, BUT and I say BUT,the only reason i did this is because i had an old sks thats been laying around waiting to be thrown away, its rusted to hell and just not worth doing anything to, so i figured hell before i get rid of it permantly why not see if it would really work, so i put it to the test and it did work, i fired several 30rd clips, and that was the extent of it, after that i destroyerd the trigger mech, but keep in mind not just for jail reasons this SKS which i used was a short barrel paratrooper model, but regardless of type these guns were not meant to fire full auto, it over heated like an oven couldnt even touch the top of it and along the barrel, i would imagine over time if you did this conversion it would defintaly destroy your SKS and cause injury and possibly death so i dont recommend actually doing the full auto conversion,but the point of the the matter here is the book does what it says and its fun just to say you know how to do, and who knows mabye the knowledge will serve you some justice in our uncertin future but for right now its a no no !

This review is from: Full-Auto Conversion Of The SKS Rifle (Paperback)

Want to become intimately acquainted with all the small moving parts in your SKS? This book can help with that.

HOWEVER --

Just as the author tells you at the start, converting your SKS to full auto probably will earn you a free orange jumpsuit and stylish matching steel bracelets (connected by a couple steel links).

BTW, this gun was used for a LOT of years by the USSR, famous for recycling old technology for contemporary demands. In over half a century, no military EVER converted this weapon for use by its troops in a full auto configuration. If it actually were a safe, effective way to fire the SKS, I guarantee the Soviets would have done it.

Why not "bump fire" your semi-auto to achieve a full auto burst? Your semi-auto isn't machined to tolerate the friction & heat of full auto fire, so you could ruin the receiver or blow the thing up. Same here. Oh, yeah -- and there's that whole felony thing... DUH
