bedding a SKS?
« on: July 13, 2012, 11:08:54 AM »
like the title says i'm wondering if anyone has ever tried to bed a sks so there isn't anything from the stock pressing on the barrel?

I doubt it.  First of all, bedding is used on actions to make sure, everything is touching evenly.  If you don't want anything touching you would free-float the barrel, but that would be difficult since the SKS since it has a barrel band to help hold the stock on.  The other reason is that the SKS has practical limits to its accuracy.  Mine shoots a 4" group at 100 yards as it is - good enough for a short range truck gun, but its not a long range tack driver by any means.

yes i was thinking you could drill and tap the reciever to accept a bolt and do away with the barrel band entirely. i realize the gun has accuracy limitations but i like to tinker and experiment and it's just a plinking gun
