SKS rifles are surplus Russian army rifles that are popular among American shooters for being reliable and relatively inexpensive. The SKS was the predecessor of the AR-47 rifle and uses the same 7.62x39mm ammunition. The rifle was built with a semi-permanent 10-round magazine. Fortunately, the magazine was designed to be quickly removed for the purpose of cleaning the weapon. Using this feature, detachable high-capacity magazines, also referred to as "banana clips," have been designed that quickly replace the original magazine.
