SKS Front sight assembly
I have this SKS 16” variant, I don’t know to much about it besides that it’s known as a paratrooper. I just know the guy that originally owned this bought it during the AWB so it didn’t come with bayonet lug or the with the ability to hold the end of the cleaning rod. However it does have the cut for the bayonet in the stock and a hole for the cleaning rod. I was fortunate enough to find a 13” cleaning rod and 11” bayonet and my friend sold me 20” barrel with the proper front sight assembly. I was wondering what is the possibility of me taking off the front sight assembly off the 20”and mount it on the 16”?
I’ve reached out to a few gun smiths via email and was just curious while I wait for their replies, would it more feasible to just chop the 20” down and install into this rifle? Or is there someone out there that I can mail this rifle for the swap.
Thanks for any info
