[QUOTE="Clark, post: 124320, member: 6600"] I have Russian, Chineese, Romanian, Albanian, and Yugo SKSs sitting in storage. The Yugo looked like the best bet, as the bore is not Chrome lined and looks like new. I followed the instructions on the intnernet on how to do a trigger job on an SKS. That worked out. I followed the instruction on the internet on how to glass bed an SKS. That looks nice. I got a cast steel Choate SKS scope mount, followed the instructions and drilled and tapping into the receiver. It makes a nice solid mount. I put on my Leupold 40X scope I use for testing rifles. I hand loaded some very concentric 7.62x39mm ammo. I went to the range and got 6.0 moa. I would point out that the same shooter, scope, and techniques with a surplus Mauser have produce 0.4 moa in 257Roberts Ackley Improved. I was beginning to suspect that the bolt, bolt carrier, and gas pistol, all being off center, are starting to move before the bullet exits. I turned off the gas [a Yugo grenade launch feature], so it fires as a repeater, and not semi auto. Still 6.0 moa with the SKS. My AR-15 are semi auto and have no trouble averaging 1.4 moa. What does it all mean? I wasted my time trying to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, ....or I am just too dumb to accurize an SKS. [/QUOTE]
