I owned a mini 30, I made it look like my SKS "assault" rifle (whatever that means) in a folding composite stock, with 30 round magazine when I made my military surplus sks into a deer rifle for hunting and sporting purposes... resulting in 2 rifles using the same cartridge, similar in capacity a domestic-made "assault weapon" which wasn't illegal and a "military Viet Nam war surplus" deer rifle which would have been illegal to import ... because of how each looked.
The mini 30 was less accurate but prettier.

I have an original rusted old 5 or 10 round sks mag somewhere and sold all my 20, 30, 40 round detachables years ago. I only kept three 50 round (really they hold 52 rounds) detachables for hunting and stuff.

How much for scope stuff I couldn't tell you now, I did mine in early 1980s for a 50 round deer rifle just before the assault weapon ban ; should work ok for hogs too. Who makes the best? ... I dunno, no one agreed in the 70s/80s.

I just saw them SKS rifles at gun shows in a wooden barrel for $89.00 each (early 1980s) and stocked up for later. I only have my deer rifle left, traded all the other pre-ban ones long ago (though the "ban" expired anyway, it was profitable to own ones grandfathered in to trade for other stuff)
