OK, when you get the rifle, look at the top of the bolt. See the little cutouts on either side? Those are where the stripper-clip goes.
When the rifle runs dry, the bolt will lock open. Those cutouts are guides for the stripper-clip, a thin piece of stamped metal holding 10 rounds. To reload, you jam one end of the stripper-clip into the guides, give the top round a good hard shove with your thumb, yank the now-empty stripper out of the guides, and rack the bolt to reload.*
The rifle you're trading on seems to be equipped with a 20-round mag originally meant for the SKS, which means AK mags are a no-go. Stick with the stripper clips. Trying to "run" a "detachable" SKS magazine is a waste of time, money, and effort.
*These things are clips. A stamped piece of metal is a clip. The spring-loaded box which feeds the weapon, whether integral or detachable, is a magazine.
