If it is a fixed mag/stripper clips one I would buy it

Fixed mag, fiberglass stock. Got it for $75. Going to check it out tomorrow.

I have gathered from what I have read that this is one of the better versions of the SKS. My father who is a former Green Beret handed it down to me a couple years ago. I have no idea where he got it but have no reason to believe that it is not genuine. My question is about it's effectiveness and reliability if I ever do end up "in the shit" with it. I am former US ARMY and have a basic understanding of our country's weapons but being that I was a non-combat MOS I am not up to par on small arms knowledge. I have been planning to have a few modifications done to it to make it more practical for any kind of combat situations if the need ever arises and am wondering mainly about the magazine. Is it possible to have it converted to the AK magazine type setup for easier reloading. With lot of work, it sure can. But not legally.
And if so does anyone have any idea if this would effect the reliability? This weapon has been a part of ME for over 14 years since he first obtained it and has always been my primary selection due to familiarity. Any insight or info on past experiences with a setup similar to mine or people that have tried what I am hoping to do would be very much appreciated.
For reliability keep it stock. Being of Russian manufacture the more original the condition is, the more value it will retain.
Thx..
