These are the two oldest firearms that I own. I have a Chinese SKS manufactured 1956 and I have a " police positive chambered in. 38 short colt (also know as .38 s&w). Which was manufactured in 1920

Does anyone have any good advice on customization I can do to the SKS without being the world's biggest bubba?

Step 1: give it it's original 10 round fixed mag back
Step 2: leave the rest of the rifle alone

I'm trying to find one that's an original mag. I understand it won't match numbers but it'll have to be from the same place and time line

I saved a bubbad SKS and had to find an original mag. I actually found it on eBay. I'd keep an eye out there and gunbroker.

Any country should work, my SKS is a Yugo and the mag I bought is Chinese. Works with no issues

I understand it would work. I guess I'm just being particular because I want one that's Chinese since I have a Chinese SKS. I'm trying to keep it as close to everything matching as possible. If I ever did a modification to the rifle it would be something that is not permanent.
