    I've built my Yugo SKS exacrly like this. This was the foundation for all my hard work. I cut the barrel down and recrowned it. And did everything else.

  • @dwh5512

    great video. no ums or ahhhs no repeating yourself and no trips down some rabbit trail. you showed us what you did with great camera work, a well written script and good sound quality. short sweet & to the point. i will be watching your other videos. thank for such a good video

    • @ZRUSOutdoorsChannel
      @ZRUSOutdoorsChannel  7 років тому +3

      Thanks Bill. haha one of my few videos that i banged through without the "Uhs" and "Ahs" I try to edit all of that out. Thanks for watching!

    @mr.chisels729 9 років тому +2

    Man, what a beautiful build that is...
    I just got my first SKS (and I love it!) and you've certainly given me some food for thought there!

    What a beauty.if i keep watching these sks videos are going to make me buy 3 of them. I paid $85 for one in 96 and now they go for 400 up. Should have held on to her she looked like new.

    • @ZRUSOutdoorsChannel

      aint that the sad truth! Wish i would have been of age to buy in those years!

    I really like your rifle. Great look with the Timbersmith stock, really classy. Peep sights are always on point for us retired Army types, so kudos for that upgrade. I have two SKS rifles - a "paratrooper" and a plain Jane type 56, both from Norinco. Thanks to your inspiration, my 20" model will be seeing some of your upgrades soon, and I thank you so much for sharing!.

  • @looooooooot432
    @looooooooot432 9 років тому +2

    Now that is a gorgeous SKS! If I had not just finished a 12.5" AR and had a few barrels for other builds to work with, I'd be all over this but this is definitely on the list!
    However, I'd rather go with a pin and weld job with a dynacomp vs the 17". The velocity difference would be tiny and would increase the overall handiness.

      ***** Happy to do watch. Did you ever do the muzzle break, and the scope, and the magazine adapter video's? I looked on your page was unable to find them? Very interested in the process. Thanks very much.

  • @Night-Jester
    @Night-Jester 8 років тому +1

    I love what you did with your Yugo. I always wanted to do it with mine but when I had it I remember reading something that it was illegal to modify import guns or guns made before a certain date or SOMETHING which is why I never even attempted to cut off the totally helpful grenade launcher.

    • @Night-Jester
      @Night-Jester 8 років тому

      Also since you use the Tapco mags the Tapco stock isn't that bad even though you said you didn't want polymer.

  • @ericferguson9989
    @ericferguson9989 9 років тому +4

    Really sweet looking gun! The ak nuzzle brake is really effective but makes the gun seem way louder. As a recreational shooter maybe a Krebs type ak flash hider or a Bulgarian Krinkoff flash hider might improve your comfort. But hey it's your gun and you can set it up anyway you want! The montecarlo laminate stock looks really nice. Too bad the tapco stock won't let you keep the bayonet cause you never know!

  • @thepwee

    Gave a thumbs up even though I'm a big time milsurp collector and purist. Your rifle, do what you want. It looks amazing, but I wish people would stick with commercial Norincos when they wanna chop one.
    Ok, off my soapbox. :) Great looking rifle!!!!

  • @jbrentd

  • @kevinloungo
    @kevinloungo 9 років тому

    hey great vid thats one nice looking sks. if your thinking of putting a scope on i would recommend grinding down the ejection port which allows the shells to shoot out more sideways than upwards so you dont have to worry about shells hitting your scope. it works great when you dont want to use a shell deflector and if using a choate mount still allows use of the iron sights!

  • @Shane-Singleton
    @Shane-Singleton 5 років тому

    Damn. That shell pouch will fit the 7.62x39 strippers but won't fit any silver bullets!
    Pretty neat build. The grain on that replacement stock really mimics the grain on the original Yugo stock but far more pronounced. I just picked up a Yugo last week. It's the 4th SKS i've owned and was looking up what people were doing with theirs and stumbled across this video. I'm going to keep mine stock. I wouldn't call myself a "purist" because that, to me, means that by modifying something you're diluting its greatness or effectiveness. I don't think that's true. I'm just more nostalgic rather than a purist. I buy the old school mil surps because I like the old school stuff the way it is :). Now that being said the SKS has been a popular modification host for YEARS. It's well suited to it. Good mechanism, most are nicely built. Enjoy!

  • @caseyjoanz
    @caseyjoanz 8 років тому

    Well done! The only complaint I have about the TimberSmith line is the lack of a front sling swivel. It seems like a small thing, but if you plan on scoping it (Choate side mount) and shooting from a bench, a Harris bipod-perfectly centered, is much better than a barrel attached bipod. You said you did it yourself. (Nice job!) I did the same thing, but it's not a "quickie", accurately tapping into laminated wood. Looks really good! It's your gun; you used a proven action to build what you wanted. Those who disapprove aren't required to do the same.

    • @ZRUSOutdoorsChannel
      @ZRUSOutdoorsChannel  8 років тому

      hey thanx for checking it out man!

    • @crazyfvck
      @crazyfvck 7 років тому

      +caseyjoanz Your comment confuses me.. Why does the TimberSmith stock need a front sling swivel? The SKS already has a sling loop built into the gas block (at least the Yugo does.. never owned any others.) Are you referring to the rear sling swivel? THAT you do lose if you go away from the factory buttstock.

    • @crazyfvck
      @crazyfvck 7 років тому

      +crazyfvck In my opinion, the only problem with the TimberSmith stock is the lack of a bayonet groove. The integral bayonet on the SKS is one of the things that I love about it.. It's a shame to get rid of it, just for the sake of upgrading to a nicer buttstock.

    • @caseyjoanz
      @caseyjoanz 7 років тому

      A Harris-style bipod requires a sling swivel to mount it. Unless you want to screw a rail into wood. Other than that, you're putting your bipod on the barrel. For benchrest shooting that affects the barrel's harmonics. Anything that touches the barrel and puts the slightest alteration as to how it flexes as combustion presses the projectile forward disrupts it's resonance and alters it's consistency. That's why a free-floated barrel has an advantage.

      ***** been good jus working a lot while I can get the hours. From your vids looks like y'all are doing great glad to here and see. Trying to get some decent gear for somerun and gun schooling this summer. Thinking it be alot of fun instead of bench shooting. With the way this build turned out might night be bad to do a service Bussiness as a hobby.

      ***** bubbas house of pain lmao to damn funny. Currently looking at chest rigs and drop legs plate carriers. I ve been using an NC star vest which o recently updated to condor rig. Which is great except the cross back straps are pain to adjust and remove and get into. The condor drop leg works great but looking for something more professional grade.

    I love the build. The only thing I don't like is replacing the 10 round internal mag with 20 or 30 round duck bill mags. If I want to do that I would probably get an ak-47 but that's just me. Nice build by the way.
