SKS Stock suggestions??

[sentinelrepublic]

I tapco'd my sks out and she's nice! The magazines are reliable too!

Just checked UPS status for the 50th time today and my SKS stock has been delivered!

Now if I can finagle some time tonight to install it... hehehe

Just don't muck with detachable mags!

OK, so here are the first pictures... the "before":

Note the many dings and dents.

and yes, I have removed the fixed mag... I have a 30 round poly mag of unknown make that works very well, so far, 1 FTF in 120 rounds.

I have a plasticized Norinco SKS & will say this: if the length of the wood stock suits you, don't fudge with the gun. If you're 6'-3" with a 6'-8" wingspan like me, then get something cheap like Cabela's: Advanced Technology (ATI) SKS Ultralight Fixed/Folding Stock - Matte Black. That's the exact one I have & it suits my arms quite well. If you need it to work for both tall & short people, get one of the adjustable stocks the others have linked in this thread...my wife cannot shoot mine.

Paco, I've got the wingspan issue, I'm 6'7" and I let a few friends fire it on a regular basis, so... I went with the ATI StrikeForce. Now I need to get a new Dremel so that I can "modify" the stock to work with my '81 Norinco. I"ve got to lengthen the mag well, widen the pistol grip trigger well, and buy a new gas tube/hand-guard... want to keep all the original parts intact. once I actually get all this done, I'll post additional pics.

Iv got a tapco covered Norinco. It isnt to bad, and it fits me better.
But my tapco magazine..It is and I wont buy anymore unless they have been redesigned lately.
I left 15 rounds in it and the back of the mag split about 1/4'' down the back, wich gave the feed lips alot of play.

Here is my Norinco, I never liked the old stock I am a big guy and the LOP on the old stock was just too short. With the T6 I can get it out further and have a much better feel.

Here are the before -

And the after (with the a vented gas tube guard installed) -

Over all I am happy with it, though looking to put on a set of Tech Sights on it next.
