Full-Auto Conversion Of The SKS Rifle

to do it another way. Colin Out. Converting SKS to full-auto, curt williams, 7/28/94 AM. Why would anyone want to convert a ten shot rifle to full auto?.

If you're in need of a firearm and are forced to use a captured enemy rifle, the most important thing would be to have a dependable one, not a full auto. Why would anyone take the time and effort to try to modify a firearm in the field in such a way and take a chance on turning a perfectly serviceable semi-auto into a really fancy club? Not to mention the fact that, in order to do so, the soldier would have to have access to the tools necessary to disassemble the trigger group, file down the parts, and reassemble the group, without damaging or losing any of the parts.

I’ve got to clear the air about this

I spent my 21 year military career in the Navy, not the Army, but I seriously doubt that there are many soldiers who hump gunsmithing tool sets in their packs. I am intimately familiar with the workings of the SKS trigger group please see my video series on doing an SKS trigger job: You wouldn't have a functional machine gun, you'd have a malfunctioning rifle that would, upon the first press of the trigger, repeatedly fire uncontrollably until the magazine is empty…or until you have an out of battery ignition and blow the rifle up in your hands.

You see, to make it slam fire in this way, you would have to defeat the disconnector. One of the purposes of the disconnector is disconnect the trigger bar from the sear after the hammer falls. You would have to defeat this mechanism in order to make the rifle fire more than once with a single pull of the trigger.

The problem is that another function of the disconnector is to prevent the hammer from falling before the bolt is completely closed. If the hammer can fall before the bolt is completely closed, there is a very good chance that the firing pin will strike the primer before the cartridge has completely entered the chamber. I'm not saying that it's impossible to make an SKS fire continuously. It may even be possible to make it controllable without having to manufacture and install new parts…but you're still not making it into a functional machine gun…you're inducing a malfunction.

You may get lucky and have it work for you times out of , but when it decides to let go, it will not be an enjoyable occasion. And I seriously doubt that the army trained its soldiers to intentionally break a perfectly serviceable semi-auto rifle. The Sailor is right. Not only do you really need an open bolt which the SKS doesn't have but the metal alloys that are in the SKS will not allow you the weapon to fire full automatic for any length of time.

Of course, I am not a metalurgist nor am I a gun smith.

Full Auto SKS Conversion

I just repeat what wiser and more experienced people have told me. I have had my SKS and many other weapons for some time.

Im ex-military Army and am also very knowledgible when it comes to weapons. I tried to convert my SKS and could not.

Quick Overview

Yes, it does "slam fire" once every blue moon, but the SKS was not made for full auto fire there has been a few SKS rifles that where made with a 3 round burst and should not be converted. If your in a state that allows sales of one, save your money and buy a full auto. Dont risk your safety or your freedom because you think it would be cool. And yes, I have converted other weapons, but legally.

Stay safe and upright and your mags full! Between and I tried everything I could to get a case that would either make things perfectly clear as to exactly whose minds are engaged in the political machinations of making people miserable and why, or, in the alternative, restoring at least a semblance of equality to the game amongst the majority of unwitting participants. My efforts, prior to the events of at Waco, included, but were not limited to, the SKS question at hand.

And indeed, one requires nothing more complex than a simple mill-bastard file and strong enough fingers for reassembly. I had developed the legal case that was conspicuously missing from the records — the issues that, to my research to his day, have, still, never been addressed by any of the courts. I never experienced any of the other malfunctions that seem to be so widely discussed.

And, fwiw, the purpose of my handiwork was bait for my sting operation. You did gunsmithing work of the precision needed to alter the operation of the sear, disconnector and trigger mechanism with a mill bastard file? You had a problem with releasing the safety causing the rifle to fire? The only thing the safety does on an SKS is block the trigger. The only way releasing the safety could cause the rifle to fire is if you had your finger on the trigger when you did it…or the sear was so lightly engaged that the slight vibration of clicking the safety off caused it to release, which would also mean any other slight vibration would also cause it to release and it would most likely go into uncontrolled automatic fire every time you shot it.

Look at your front sight. You'll see it's a got an 'integral sleeve' on it.

First you'll cut through the sleeve, and then through the barrel. Move the blade about two blade widths forward Toward the Sight base , and cut another slot. You have room for about 5 slots if you done it right. If you done it wrong, Hell! Just file out all the middle 'vents', leaving you a big gaping hole I did that to mine as a way to clear mud - I carry the gun over the Shoulder, muzzle down - Sometimes when you sit down When you fire the gun, you will notice a 'difference' in the recoil.

It's not less, it's not more, it's just 'different'. But you will notice a BIG Difference in your shot-string! All things being equal, the gun wants to shoot in circles, instead of vertically! Place the dowel in the smaller tube 1 inch I. Schedule 40 Steel Pipe is the best, but it's a Blue-Whale to hold when finished. Fill the tube, around the dowel, with Steel Wool or fiberglass Fiberglass is the Quietest - But Always use SOME steel wool at the gun's muzzle-end anyway - Helps prevent the Fiberglass from blowing back into the action. Keep the Dowel as close to the middle of the pipe as you can - This will be the Bullet Path when you take the dowel out.

It's not necessary, but it's 'good luck' to cut an "X" in the middle of the Flapper's Solid Wall - This eliminates any danger of any real pressure build-up. Now take your other Flapper and cut a hole in it's Solid Wall the same size as your threaded Muzzle Brake. Take the dowel out of your smaller tube and insert this tube into the larger one. Place the other Flapper at this end where your gun muzzle will fit. Drill and Tap a hole in the other cap to fit the threads you cut into your muzzle brake.

Place this cap on the opposite end of your now completed Supressor. Your rifle now sounds like a weirded-out sound effect! Nothing at all like in the movies - Quieter as far as Muzzle Blast is concerned, but it still hurts your ears right through your eyes! If the demand is there, I'll make up an Addendum for the AK. Since that Conversion can only be made by installing a Parts Kit, though, I doubt it will ever be very necessary.

Hope this was of some value. Here's a few sks sears required to convert to Full-auto. I am sure there would be a number of parties most interested in the milled sks autosear, if you could find a way to upload it in the future. Well I'm sure not too many of you are interested in the milled sks autosear, because here it is and not a "cool, or a right on" from anyone. Not that i crave anyones praise, but I just was hoping to help someone out with the 3 sear pics and the step-by-step in converting it in a way that wont blow your face off when it fires out of battery.

Easy there big guy It takes a lot to get a "Cool" from most of the people here. Not that they aren't interested or snobbish, it's just that "we" have seen a whole lot. Necessary photos and drawings to accomplish the job. This manual gives you a very detailed and easy to understand description on the function of the fire control group as well as several different possible methods of "conversion". As entertaining as it is informative. Highly recommended for SKS owners. Only registered users can write reviews. Please, log in or register.
