How many imported parts can be replaced in an SKS‑D and SKS‑M?
The SKS‑D and SKS‑M utilize AK-style magazines. On these magazines, the “floorplate” is not built into the magazine body. Thus, SKS‑D and SKS‑M have an additional imported part. In the past, there were no sources for US-made AK-style magazines or parts. However, these are now available from several manufacturers. Note that there are reports of persistent reliability issues with US-made magazine bodies. A better solution would be to add US-made AK followers and floorplates to imported magazine bodies.
