I recently purchased a norinco SKS for $260. Unfortunately, Bubba got his hands on it before I. It is missing the factory mag and bayonet. I quickly removed the cheap scope that it came with. It sports a synthetic stock which I believe is an ATI monte carlo stock which i find very comfortable. Despite some of its shortcomings, this gun is in good condition and has been 100 percent reliable.
This is my only firearm and my home defense weapon. I am not concerned at all about over penetration as I live in a rural area.
As much as dont want to modify this firearm anymore than it has been, I think it is important to have a light. Any suggestions to mount a light? I plan on trying the Tapco mags and using them if they are 100% reliable, if not I will purchase a fixed mag with stripper clips. I am also concerned about seeing the black sights at night, suggestions? My final question would be regarding ammo, I think the hornady steelcased SST is my best choice as it expands and isnt overly expensive?
Sorry about the long post. Appreciate the suggestions on light mounts, ammo selection, and sights to get my SKS ready for its home defense role.
