 an SKS? Don't get me wrong, I love SKS rifles for what they are, but the 6.5 Grendel only really makes sense in an accurate AR or a bolt action rifle.

Wow. What an interesting concept. I kind of thought 90% of the benefit of the Grendel was what it could do at ranges where you can't see the target without a scope. And it's hard to put a scope on an SKS.
I always regarded the SKS as very well suited to the cartridge it fired, in that its effective accuracy and the capacity of its iron sights both topped out just about where the 7.62x39 cartridge ran out of steam. Well-balanced, if you will.
Why did this idea come to mind?

Does anyone even make replacement barrels for the SKS platform?

I had a box of 6.5 grendel sitting in my favorite gunshop and i looked at the owner who is a smith and said what about one of them in a sks he said if i get the specs he would put out the $ to build it and for accuracy the sks is a perfect platform you get a yugo sks with the gas shutoff, and as for scope mounts theres a trick up my sleeve for that one that can format the nicest of scopes, but im just really needing info on barrels or if anyone else has done this before i attempt it with someone elses money.

It's not.

^ i do belive that is what was said about the ARs long ago, and the m1 garands because they were semi auto. im not talking about your chinaman special sks im talking about the big hefty yugos when i had one with handloads and the gas tube shut off i could print sub 1in groups at 100yds all day long

^ I'm hear ya! I have seen the sks shoot well before. If you can get past the crappy trigger they're ok. More power to ya gunnerboy! It's even better when someone else is paying for the trial and error part! Some things to remember though, the 6.5 grendel case is not tapered like the x39 so magazine alterations will be needed. And don't forget to float the barrel.

An accurate SKS can be built; a search of the archives will turn up posts from a member who's built a 1 MOA SKS.
I suppose it can be done, but you could say the same thing about lighting $100 bills on fire.

Any good barrel maker will have a barrel blank with 6.5mm bore. Then your gunsmith will time and index the barrel etc to fit it to an SKS. Definately wouldn't do this to an SKS if it were me an AR would be far more practical.

So what is the point of the exercise? What are you setting out to establish or prove? Do you have a goal in mind?
You could say the goal is to prove it can be done -- but it obviously CAN be done and one doesn't need to do it to prove that.
Anything CAN be done, with enough money and skill thrown at it. Usually there is a hope that one can show that the effort produces a product which is of greater value (ability, capacity, utility) than the costs and effort that went into the attempt.
So is there something you're hoping to discover or prove by the effort and cost?

i was hoping to prove that im not just some loon with a good idea :rolleyes:
im mainly looking for any advice or knowledge on barrel blanks or such like the taper of the case idea that was posted was nice to know something i didnt consider yet

I'm in sales and practical is what most people buy. Odd cool stuff has a much smaller market.
i was hoping to prove that im not just some loon with a good idea
From what I've read so far no one has called you a loon, no one thinks it's a good idea either...we all get a wild hair now and then.
Even with the gas shut off engaged a Yugo will not turn into MOA rifle, drill and tap scope mounts for the SKS exist already, with enough time and effort you could make a MOA 6.5mm SKS...then what?
Not that I don't think it's cool / neat but I still wouldn't purchase one considering the AR-15 would be a far better platform. I'm just to practical to invest $1000 into an SKS in 6.5 when I could get a far better upper for my AR for less.
Good luck with the build.

Pole-zero pairs can be introduced, for example, when you construct closed-loop architectures. Normal small errors associated with numerical computation can convert such canceling pairs to near-canceling pairs. Removing these states preserves the model response characteristics while simplifying analysis and control design. Types of pole-zero simplification include:
Structural elimination — Eliminate states that are structurally
disconnected from the inputs or outputs. Eliminating structurally disconnected
states is a good first step in model reduction because the process does not
involve any numerical computation. It also preserves the state structure of the
remaining states. Such structurally nonminimal states can arise, for example,
when you linearize a Simulink® model that includes some unconnected state-space or transfer
function blocks. At the command line, perform structural elimination with
sminreal.
Pole-zero cancellation or minimal realization — Eliminate canceling or
near-canceling pole-zero pairs from transfer functions. Eliminate unobservable
or uncontrollable states from state-space models. At the command line, perform
this kind of simplification with
minreal.
In the Model Reducer app and the Reduce Model Order Live Editor task, the Pole-Zero Simplification method automatically eliminates structurally disconnected states and also performs pole-zero cancellation or minimal realization.
Model Reducer provides an interactive tool for performing model reduction and examining and comparing the responses of the original and reduced-order models. To reduce a model by pole-zero simplification in Model Reducer:
Open the app and import a model to reduce. For instance, suppose that
there is a model named
build in the MATLAB® workspace. The following command opens Model
Reducer and imports the LTI model
build.
modelReducer(build)
In the Data Browser, select the model to reduce.
Click
Pole-Zero Simplification.
In the Pole-Zero Simplification.
Optionally, change the tolerance with which Model Reducer
identifies canceling pole-zero pairs. Model Reducer cancels
pole-zero pairs that fall within the tolerance specified by the
Simplification of pole-zero pairs value. In this
case, no pole-zero pairs are close enough together for Model
Reducer to cancel them at the default tolerance of
1e-05. To cancel pairs that are a little further
apart, move the slider to the right or enter a larger value in the text
box.
The blue
x and
o marks on the
pole-zero map show the near-canceling pole-zero pairs in the original model
that are eliminated from the simplified model. Poles and zeros remaining in
the simplified model are marked with red
x and
o.
Try different simplification tolerances while observing the frequency response of the original and simplified model. Remove as many poles and zeros as you can while preserving the system behavior in the frequency region that is important for your application. Optionally, examine absolute or relative error between the original and simplified model. Select the error-plot type using the buttons on the Pole-Zero Simplification tab.
For more information about using the analysis plots, see Visualize Reduced-Order Models in the Model Reducer App.
