HOW TO: SKS-AR Mag Adapter Install Guide & Pics.

[hical.ca]

We wanted to let you know, these Mag adapters are available on our website now, HERE. We wanted to do a AR-SKS Mag Adapter Install Guide & Pics to help everyone out. We will do a video after the weekend, but wanted to post a guide for all those who already have one to install. Here is a conversion, step by step:

First we Make sure the gun is UNLOADED! Remember the ACTS & PROVE? Remove some metal from the front of the receiver for clearance, shown is one side done, the other untouched:




Both sides done, note how the front is cut almost to the bevel:




Next, see those trigger bars? we need to shorten them to clear the new mag:



Ta Da.....



Test fit the mag to make sure there is clearance:



You will also need to shorten the bolt hold open device by about 2-3 mm:



Then trim the front silver mount to fit your gun, I mark it with a sharpie, then trim:



Install & test, the bolt hold open should work, it should drop free:



Open up your stock to clear & hit the range, or 3 gun....




NOTE, you can still use your original factory mag or any aftermarket detachable mags still after this conversion, the adapter just pops out!

Will you be including the machining dimensions with the purchase of an adapter? How much depth is required on the front of the reciever for starters.
