7.62x25 barrel is on my SKS

Cut the feed ramp and extractor groove this evening. Also tig welded the gas port closed. Work on SKS bolt carriers has kept me from this but I made some time to get progress done on it.

When is the final date to submit it? Might need to carry it over to summer. Haven’t done much past what I posted.

Next weekend

I’m going to have to bow out unfortunately. Not close enough to being finished.

Did you make the barrel yourself?

Will it be direct blowback?

T-SKS ?
Now i really wonder what the ballistic differences between .30 Carbine and 7.62 Tokarev out of ... 18 inch barrel is.
SKS had 20 inch, M1 had 17 inch. I just did some rough rounding.

.30 carbine has significantly more powder if memory serves. Idk
The barrel will be 18.75 (18.5 is the legal cutoff for me)

PPS mag or Tokarev?

Probably keeping a locked breech. Looking at how it lines up it’s probably the easiest way to go.
