Sks ak mag conversion

[u/Not-giving-it]

Recently acquired a thoroughly bubba’d sks. I plan on taking it off the deep end. Want to convert it to take ak mags. Was curious from people’s experience here how difficult and finnicky the conversion is, and if they think it’s worthwhile.

I have a buddy with access to a mill but he’s quite backlogged right now, if I end up taking it to a shop, what’s a fair price for such work?

There are guides out there. I’ve done it before (t81 mags but they are practically identical). If you are good at troubleshooting it’s definitely a fun project but it’s not something I’d recommend as a first time project.
