Are SKS mags reliable?
As an SKS owner, I have found it to be a craps shoot at best. Some detachable mags are better than others, but one that works reliably in my rifle may not be so reliable in yours. You can have several polymer mags from one manufacturer, and some will work well where others won’t. Same with steel detachable mags.

Can you make an SKS rifle fully automatic?
There is no modification I’m aware of to make an SKS a true fully auto rifle. It was designed semi-auto in the first place – not by downgrading a full auto rifle. Slam fire is effectively full-auto fire, but it’s unintended and uncontrolled full auto, and is dangerous to the shooter as well as anything downrange.

Does the SKS come with the Commie Star magazine?
The SKS did not come from the factory with that magazine…it is an after market magazine. I have two of the commie star mags and after much tweaking, filing, bending, cussing etc. I still can’t get either mag to run all 20 rds without a jam or failure to feed when hand cycling.
