About two years ago I bought a Yugo M59 (non-matching serials).

Today I just purchased a Norinco SKS with matching serials but no bayonet ($200).


Ok.....I want to get a Tapco Fusion kit* (dodges rotten vegetables from the peanut gallery) but I'm not sure which weapon I should put it on. My first instinct is to use the Yugo. However, I like the blade bayonet and don't want to "lose" it after switching over to a broomhandle on the Fusion kit. However, I can't put it on the Norinco because the stock is made for spike bayonets. Pulling apart the Norinco seems counter-intuitive and wasteful...

Any ideas?


*I already have an M4. I don't want an AK (well, I do...but....). I figure if I slap one of these kits on an SKS, you get a reasonably-accurate high-capacity weapon that fires 7.62x39 and is equipped with rails for roughly the same price as a mid-range AK without rails.

Keep the original parts and put the Tapco on whatever one you want. If you want to sell your SKS just restore it to the original configuration.

Also I have seen a few Tapco stocks advertises as not fitting the Yugo SKS?

Well I've decided to modify the Norinco, largely because, as mentioned, some of the Tapco parts don't fit the Yugo. While they offer special Yugo versions it's an additional expense.

When I first got my Romy, I put everything new and tacticool I could find on the thing. Just before I took it to the range for the first time, I looked at it. I actually LOOOKED at it and thought, what the heck did I do to this poor rifle. This is not how it was meant to be.

I took off all the aftermarket parts and sold them. I was surprised how fast they went (lots of people love the Tapco stuff).

Now I'm really glad I did. Every time I take my bad boy out people flock over eventually because its a really nice specimen if I do say so myself.

Keep it as it was intended. Just my .02.
