My Dad has taken a fancy to SKS rifles, and looks to me to help him with the assorted goodies and modifications that make shooting fun. Regarding accuracy, I'm trying to figure out the most effective modifications to make to the rifle to shrink group size besides using expensive brass-cased ammo. So far I've chosen:
1) Recrown the barrel
2) Bed the stock
3) Techsight aperture sight.
Any other suggestions? He hasn't bought one yet, so no telling what variant it will be. Will steer him towards one without a grenade launcher, but it depends on what the gun show vendors have.
Other mods under consideration:
1) Kivaari trigger job
2) Spring-loaded firing pin
3) Bayonet and grenade launcher removal
4) bolt polishing
Edit: Intended function of this rifle is for deer and social uses. Likely ammo will be S&B Soft Points for both applications.
