Military Tuesday : TAPCO “Modernized” SKS
The semi-automatic carbine SKS was introduced into Soviet service more than half a century ago near the end of WWII and looks like this (below)

The SKS had an internal magazine for 10 rounds loaded with stripper clips although later Chinese variants could use magazines of the AK-47, which gradually replaced the SKS in frontline service with the Soviet Union.

With the Infrapulse SKS system from American rifle accessories manufacturer TAPCO, the SKS transforms into a more contemporary-looking design with stock and handguard made from composite materials replacing the original wooden furniture and comes complete with pistol grip and 5/10/20 round detachable magazines.

More pictures at TAPCO’s official site or from their 2009 catalog where I found the photos above. Lots of AR15/M16, AK and Ruger accessories in the catalog for those wanting to kit out their rifles (Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the correct term is “sporterize” when it comes to older WWII-era rifles).
