Siminov's Zombie Getter

[N_K_1984]

Bubba alert!

Just wrapped up my Zombie Rifle build. Nothing fancy, nickle and dime build. Just built it for some fun and possible SHTF scenarios.

Lookin' great! I am assuming it is a Yugo, whose muzzlebreak did you use? Any trouble getting the grenade launcher off?

 

[N_K_1984]

Thanks for the compliment. You assume correct. She's a Yugo, muzzle brake is by Choate, and I had no trouble getting the grenade launcher off. It was a painless build, no issues what so ever. It was a really fun build.

how well do the mags work with that kit? im haveing trouble with a trade i got that hase the ati monte strock and it keeps falling apart and im thinking the mags just are sucky ones. do the tapcos work better? and is there a good way to keep the trigger frome falling out on the 3rd shot? im new to the sks and its a norinco.

 

[N_K_1984]

i have had zero issues with the tapco mag, nor my trigger falling out. I don't think I've ever even heard of that problem... I have an no-named steel mag, it's junk. absolute junk...

Was it a M59 or M59/66? I believe the M59/66 was able to be imported with all of the "evil" features (flash hider, grenade launcher, bayonet) due to C&R status. If *any* of those features are removed, then C&R status is voided and the builder/modifier must consider 922r regulations - i.e., the number of import parts.

I don't believe any home builder/modifier has yet been charged for 922r violations but it might be something to keep in mind.

In short, unless you replaced enough foreign parts with domestic, your rifle, now devoid of C&R status, would be in violation of 922r.

Or not.

Who knows? If you've got enough domestic, you're in the clear. Darned confusing though.

M59/66 922r


Nice job though. I'm rarely a fan of the home SKS mods but that one look good and functional.

 

[N_K_1984]

I have done a lot of reading at Survivors SKS boards about the 922R compliance stuff...

so...

my domestic parts include:
Hammer, Sear, and gas valve are all domestic. (murray's)
Magazine, follower, and floor plate are domestic (Tapco)
Has domestic pistol grip, hand guard, stock, gas piston, and operating rod. (Tapco compliance kit)
muzzle break is welded on, and is domestic? (choate)
~PLUS~
bayonet and bayonet lug are both permanently removed...

Thanks for he compliment! I dig it, i think it's extremely functional and looks pretty cool to boot. i like it. totally worth the time and money.

from everything i've read into, i should be ok under 922r compliance. but like you said, it's confusing...

 

[N_K_1984]

... I put a US mil-surp bought sling on it too, does that count toward 922r compliance? ha

 

[SilentWarrior1]

I like it! It looks very clean. Good build!

 

[N_K_1984]

thanks!

 

[Hexa-Tula]

Sergei would be proud.

looks like a pretty good build for an SKS. I'll agree with the tapco mags being good too. I had 6 of them for my old SKS and they worked out great. Some days I wish I hadn't sold it, but I'll upgrade to better sometime.

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

nice, but I want to see more pics of the gun toting chick in your avatar!

You know, they have WASRs for about $350 now. Cheaper and will better serve the purpose.

Also the last name of the designer is SIMONOV.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

That is a good looking rifle!

 

[Joedirt82]

looks great! gives me a little inspiration to continue with one of mine this winter. How do you like the trigger?

 

[sepe]

not bad but I couldn't ever bring myself to change a thing about my SKS. the 1954 Tula #'s matching(not forced match) will remain the way she sits.

I've actually rebuilt my trigger, added Wolff springs, did some polishing on some components. I followed a guide to an easy SKS trigger job here: Collecting and Shooting the SKS Carbine - Lightening the SKS Trigger (Trigger Job)

Glad I could inspire.

Thanks for the heads up on the price on WASRs. I don't have much more than $250 in my SKS, it's been a "budget build" on a barreled action. As far as it's purpose, it's just for fun. It's done everything I've asked it to do. It's been a fun, cheap build.

As far as mispelling Simonov's name... thanks for educating me... blame it on a brief moment of stupidity.
