Reviews & Ratings for NcSTAR Tactical SKS Scope Mount With Weaver Tri-rail MTSKS — 21 reviews — Page 1

A lot of fine-tuning with a file, 2 hours just to get it to fit in the correct position as the original part. it had a few little burrs on the inside of casting where slide passes thru that caused it to hang up after a few rounds. had to file those down. Will be trying it out for the second time to see if this fixes the issue. But expected a few problems as stated on website to get it to function correctly on my SKS.

Needed a little bit of filing but well worth it. Nice look and I am excited to field test it.

Nice mount/rail at a decent price. Followed mfg's instructions and it went on fairly easy. Put a red dot reflex sight on it for now, but will probably order a different scope for it later on. Very happy with this item, and very pleased with Optics Planet.

This was not the first receiver sks mount I tried....this one was again slightly oversized/ long and I had to file off a few mm to get it to line up..but it did line up .....the side set screws also are great to ensure no m9vement although there seemed no movement even before I installed/tightened the side screws

Would recommend to anyone trying to modernize their SKS. Took me about 45 mins to file down, I took my time so it fits very tight.This cover also has a "peep" hole where you can use your iron sights very easily.

This product came exactly as advertised. If you are not comfortable with removing material from this product to get a correct fit either take it to a professional or do not buy it. Using a Drexel with both a cutting but and a sanding/grinding bit I managed to remove enough material from the two front tangs as well as remove material from the roof of the reciever shroud and the actual fastener hole for the rear pin. This process take patience, the right tools, and either bravery or smithing or armorer experience. Also, this product cost me about $32 at time of purchase so as far as bravery goes? It doesn't hurt too bad if you screw it up. It not an AimPoint. This product definitely took some time and a couple beers but that was EXPECTED when I READ THE DESCRIPTION and WATCHED THE NCSTAR VIDEO. I also used my eyeballs when I opened the product and realized that a portion of it it made out of un-finished CAST STEEL. Cast, not milled. This thing is by no means perfect out of box. But ill be damned if by the time I finished it, applied loctite on the set screws, attached my optic, and cycled the bolt if it wasn't the nicest looking and best fitting reciever cover on any SKS I've ever held. It is solid and tight. I expect it to last a long time. Fully reccomend to those who are willing to put in the work. I have the Norinco Type56 SKS variant with a Tapco Kit on it.

The instructions are correct in as much as you can only file a little metal off each time in trying to get the scope mount to fit the variations of the SKS. What they don't tell you is that you might have to do this about 75 times or more before you get it to fit right. I went back over 4 sessions to finally finish the job after my patience ran out 3 times before. My SKS is russian made and when I got it to fit right it was a tight fit. With all of this filing it was inevitable that I scratched other areas of the mount with the file in all of the attempts to get the fitting right.

I got this for my norinco and, as advertised, did not fit. The amount of filing necessary was extreme. Over a days worth and a few hundred profanities. Once it got a millimeter away from fitting something in the unit was preventing the bolt from sliding back. Had to file the catcher tab down to the size of a human hair to get it to partially work. I emailed NcStar, optics planet and even called. Nothing. This was 3 days ago and I am still waiting to hear from someone.

I had to spend multiple hours on filing and sanding the edges to get the locking pin to line up. After I got it perfect it turned out good, found an easier way to do it for my grandfather and friends.

Read others reviews and experiences before I started. Studied very carefully where metal should be removed.Take off very small amounts then attempt to install and see where more needs to be removed. Continue this process being very careful not to remove too much metal at a time. You can always remove a little more if needed but you cannot put back if too much is removed.Eventually got a tight solid fit. Not a project for the impatient or those in a hurry. Used a small file to do the work.
