Re: weaver mount for an sks
Unless you're installing a side mount much the same as the original mount, it won't hold zero. Most of the SKS scope mounts are replacement dust covers or replacement rear sights (example).
The better dust covers have set screws to help control movement, but it loses zero everytime you take it apart for routine cleaning.
If you're having a rail mount attached to your reciever, it should work fine. But you are no doubt aware the stock will require inletting to clear the new side mount rail, right?
If there's a reason you want to fire 7.62x39 with an optical sight, have you considered a Romanian AK fitted with a scope rail? There are aftermarket mounts that adapt standard weaver rings to eastern bloc side-mount rails. Here's a post for a scope mount for an AK for sale.

Its like legos man, just take your time and make a mental note of each pin bolt you take out its always fun the first time, and im sure if you did some searching you will be able to find a rail system for the sks.

Re: weaver mount for an sks
The SKS is a very robust weapon yet easy to field strip. I would suggest caution on firing any weapon (SKS included) before an inital inspection and possible cleaning.
FWIW:
Most military type rifles (milsurp) are loaded with cosmo as a protection against rust. Not removing this could at least render the weapon inoperatable or worst case a impending KB.Please feel free to visit a forum that I moderate:
