These were actually manufactured thiss way after Norinco took a tour of the US shop that was doing the conversions,as a way to get around the ban on importing the SKS and AK rifles.

I had one about 12 years ago, bought it for my Norinco SKS....after reading the instructions, I opted not to use it. The bolt needed to be narrowed, along with some other mods.....not something I was comfortable doing to a pretty nice gun.

If it were me, I'd look for a factory produced D or M model if you want AK mags.

Or.....just get a pile of strippers.....you'd be surprised how fast you can reload with those after a little practice.
