Rebarreling an SKS?
Anybody ever considered rebarreling an SKS? Maybe even in another chambering etc? I was thinking about it the other day, the action is pretty danged good on my SKS, and I think it would be an interesting project.
Any ideas on another caliber for the thing? Somebody mentioned a while back that there was a wildcat cart based on the 7.62x39mm necked down to 25 caliber but I cannot find any info on it. GoodOlBoy

GOB, the parent case for the 22 PPC and 6mm PPC is a highly modified 7.62x39. The PPC's are widely used on the benchrest circuit.
No doubt someone's necked it to 25 as well. Just my .02, but I would think rebarreling an SKS is gonna be expensive, and not very practical. For one thing, if you go to a wildcat, you spend some time and effort making cases, and then have them beaten up by the autoloader action, and thrown into the grass to get lost....

Good point Jack that danged thing really slings the casses out of their. Heck though I might just get an itch some day and have it rebarrelled anyway but keep it in 7.62x39. Maybe.

I stumbled on this site today, have been reading and found this thread. I have been thinking about this ever since I picked up my SKS's. Is there a problem with just necking down a standard 7.62x39 case to 25 cal? The barrel will be expensive, but the idea is just so... neat. Has anyone tried anything along these lines since this thread?
