I've had some mods sitting on my computer for almost a year. I've just now beginning to tweak and reupload them.
I make lots of classic WWI-WWI era bolt actions, but I have a few assault rifles and other newish stuff that I can reshape and publish
The SKS or Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova is a semi automatic carbine firing the 7.62x39mm AK47 round. Towards and after the end of WWII, the Soviets had found that traditional bolt and semi automatic service rifles such as theMosin Nagant and SVT40 were cumbersome and unwieldy in close quarters combat, and that the powerful full sized rife cartridge they used, although having an effective range of almost half a mile, were unnecessary when most firefights were only 100-400 meters in distance. The solution was the 'intermediate cartridge', a bullet larger than a handgun round but smaller than a rifle round. This round, the 7.62x39mm, was the world's second intermediate cartridge, second only to the 7.92mm Kurz round used in the STG44.
Sergei Simonov had developed his rifle in 1945 using design elements from his AVS-36, the Tokarev SVT-40, and the Mosin Nagant M44 carbine. The SKS fed from a 10 shot non-removable magazine and was loaded either one round at a time or by a 10 shot stripper clip. A folding bayonet was equipped underneath the barrel, similar to the M44.
However at the same time that the SKS was adopted, a tank sergeant by the name of Mikhail Kalashnikov had started designing a light automatic rifle while recuperating from wounds he had sustained in a military hospital. A few visits to a machine shop and some rifle trials later, the AK47 was adopted in 1949, and has kicked ass across the globe ever since. The AK47 was better than or equal to the SKS in ever way except in accuracy, which was largely irrelevant considering how most of the red army's forces were made up of conscripts. Production stopped in 1955, and the SKS was used as a ceremonial and reservist weapon.
Other countries such as China and Yugoslavia domestically produced their own versions of the SKS. The Noricno Type 56 (same designation given to their copy of the AK47) had a small pointed 'pig sticker' bayonet and a stock made out of wood so bad that they refused to make shipping crates of. The Yugoslavian version had a rifle grenade launcher on the muzzle and tolerances looser than a Wiimote strap.
This guy does a much better job than I can of describing this thing
