Well made, easy install. Just a little fitting needed. Works well.

The only fault I found with this mount was the rear set screws which anchor the mount against the rear sight base . Not explained in instructions ; over tightening of these screws will expand mount walls and distort and fracture thin metal wall . This happened to me before I noticed what happened . Taped wall back inline and just snugged set screw until it made contact with sight base . Don't think it effects sight line up . My rifle kept Zero after sight adjustment . Time will tell . Otherwise ; no milling or fitting was necessary . Dropped right in with a snug fit . I have a Yugo 59/66 SKS . Very good product . Would buy another one if this one fails to hold Zero due to my fault .

I was looking for a budget-friendly option to complete a project, and this sks gas tube fit the bill perfectly. Fitting it to the rifle is similar to fitting a regular SKS gas tube, and I had to file the sides and the standard top and bottom bevel to get a good fit. For those looking to put together a budget build or a rifle using spare parts, I would definitely recommend this product. The rail is removable from the gas tube via four screws, and a hex key is included for this purpose. The instructions provided were also very helpful.

Compared to other optics mounts for the SKS, this SKS gas tube scope mount is one of the most affordable. The fit of the mount may vary depending on the manufacturer, but the included instructions do an excellent job of explaining the process and showing you how to make any necessary adjustments. If you have an angle grinder or access to one, the fitting process should go quickly. In my case, I had to adjust the screws on top after installing an aftermarket stock on the rifle. However, after loosening everything and then tightening them back down one at a time, I was able to get the mount into the correct position. It looks great and is very sturdy. I believe that this scope mount is definitely worth it.

The product itself seems to be of solid quality. One thing to note is that it does not fit directly onto an SKS rifle (I have a 1953 Russian SKS). I used a small Dremel tool and a small flat file to adjust the fit and, after doing so, the product fit better than the original gas tube even without fully tightening the hex screws on the back. If you are willing to put in a bit of extra effort with a file, this gas tube could be a great option for you.

This sks gas tube rail is a heavy product due in part to the reinforcing ribs that have been added to the gas tube. While these ribs help to keep the rail stable, they do add some extra weight to the overall setup. As noted in the product description, the rail is quite long and will require some filing to fit properly on your SKS rifle. It took a lot of filing to get a good fit on my Chinese SKS, but it was worth it in the end, as I now have a very tight and stable fit. The original gas tube was quite loose, so I would recommend taking the time to get a good fit with this product rather than leaving it as loose as the factory version. The set screws on the rail seemed a bit sloppy and could benefit from using loctite. Additionally, I was surprised to find that I had to sand the inside diameter of the piston part of the gas tube to remove the thick paint and allow the piston to insert properly. While I wasn't expecting a gas tube-mounted optic to hold its zero perfectly, the fit and stability achieved with this rail have exceeded my expectations.

I recently purchased the NCSTAR SKS gas tube for my Russian SKS rifle. At first, the fit was not correct, and I had to use a Dremel tool to file it down. However, after some modifications, the gas tube fit perfectly. The build quality was good overall, but it did require some filing to get it to fit my rifle. Despite the extra effort, the money spent was worth it. The main reason I bought this gas tube was to add a red dot sight, tactical light, and Ryker side grip, and it has allowed me to do just that. All in all, I am happy with my purchase and consider it to be a good investment.

This sks gas tube cover is fantastic. It was worth every penny and I am delighted with my purchase. The installation process was easy and the product was delivered to me within a week. I have no hesitation in giving it a 5-star rating and highly recommend the product and the company. This is the best place to order sight products from.

I give this product four stars, although the rating system is not allowing me to specify the number of stars for some reason. I have a Chinese Arsenal 26 SKS, and this gas tube has been a solid upgrade. It has allowed me to add a red dot sight, light, or laser to my rifle. Since installing it, I have not had any issues. The product recommends hand fitting, so we took on the project. It requires a lot of sanding to get a proper fit, but it is worth it if you have the time and patience. We sanded the back of the gas tube and the bottom of the rail on both sides to make it fit. The instructions also recommend checking the piston seal inside the tube, and mine had little suction on my thumb compared to the factory gas tube. Despite this, we decided to use it, and it performed well on the range with no issues. Overall, it was a great investment, and I am happy with the results.

Very happy with this, fit is tight and is a perfect addition to my Tapco stock.

I was initially skeptical about getting an after-market part for such an old gun. But I decided to take my chances since it was so cheap and I was definitely impressed. Now let me be the first to say if you think you're just going to take a little nail file for 5 minutes and fit this, you might want to look elsewhere. I have the Chinese version of the SKS with an aftermarket stock, and it took me quite a while to get this to fit correctly, but in the end, it was all worth it! Just don't file too much material off, I can't stress that enough. Go little by little until you get a snug fit, and you will be satisfied! I also highly recommend their scope mount too, I did both at the same time, and my SKS looks like a completely different gun!

I've been looking for a "scout" style scope base for my paratrooper for some time now. This mount was even better than I expected. It's heavy-duty and had just a few minutes of filing to make it fit very solidly. Durable and of good quality.
