Has anyone seen a product similar to this or developed a quicker technique? I am looking for some sort of a stripper-clip speed loader for 7.62x39. I have seen videos on YouTube on building one yourself, see link below. I did build one of these and it works pretty well, but I wonder is anyone has ever seen or developed a better product or process? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Hey gang - I am the proud owner of a new (for me) Yugo SKS with a production year of 78'. I have not previously owned an SKS but am efficient in other firearms. This Yugo is incredible, best shape I have seen out of months of research online and local gun shops. It was spotless when I completely disassembled it, including the firing pin etc. has all matching serial #'s, bright shiny barrel, and yes, even good rifling - this thing is a winner! I am thrilled!

Question - Had it out to the range yesterday, 200+ rounds of Wolf, and had a blast! Lot of fun! Now here is my problem...I have always been a "iron-sights" guy, meaning I am not a big optics fan and am very confident with traditional iron sights. That said - the sights on this Yugo seem really "narrow". What I mean is the standard, adjustable open, partridge rear sights...the "gap" seems so narrow that I found it really hard to properly focus when getting out to 100 (and even 50 truth be told) yards. My vision couldn't focus as it all seemed so "tight" if you know what I mean.

Hoping other owners have noticed this? Is this an issue for you? What solutions are avail or do you recommend? Is this something I just need to get used to? And finally....what about Mojo peep sights as an option? (Hate to change anything though as I love that this is completely original.....

Thanks in advance for any feedback gang - it is appreciated!

My father in-law has a Walther that he got from his father after WWII. He is not really a "gun-man" and has had this for at least 20 years. I have yet to see this but he says there is a Eagle emblem of some sort on the grips. He also says he thinks it is a .32. My questions include:

1: What could the specialty emblem mean?

2: Am I right to assume this is probably a .32 APC PP or PPK?

3: What would the approx. value of something like this be?

4: How hard should I work towards positioning myself as the eventual inheritor of this firearm? :)

Any and all feedback would be appreciated!! Thanks gang!!

Good condition SKS that accepts AK style mags needed - and advise?

Looking to purchase a good condition SKS that accepts AK style mags. Sporterised would be nice. Questions i hope to have answered include:

1. What are the preferred models that accept AK mags?

2. Is a converted model as reliable as a model originally designed for the AK mags?

3. Ballpark value of these (how much should I pay)?

4. Any key knowledge from owners/pros that I am forgetting?

Any and all advice appreciated...cant afford an ak and dont like the idea if a fixed mag which is prompting this question. Am i being stupid to shy away from a standard SKS with a 10 or 20 round fixed mag? Is using a stripper clip more effeciant than i imagine? Thanks!!
