Never been a fan of the sks but that is a very well thought out product. Makes the sks worth something i think.

I actually just received my kit last night in the mail. I'll post some pictures of it once I get home (I know or it didn't happen). I have to say this kit is REALLY well thought out. It has a lot of extra pieces to it and each one has a purpose. The kit feels 100% sturdy in your hands and feels solid like a rock. I haven't owned any other kits but from what my friends have told me and what I read they all seem to feel like cheap crap.

The oak is located toward the front and middle sections. The oak and metal plate actually slide into the front stock retaining plate (where the front hand guard of the stock slides into the rifle). Once you adjust the trigger linkage and get it solid it actually has a nice trigger pull and it's more of a easy pull with a snap when it fires.

I was one of the lucky ones and got in during the startup of the company. I only paid roughly 150 and I received all the extras as a bonus. That being said I've had to wait 1 year and 4 months to finally receive mine. It is well worth the money and completely transforms the gun but unless you have patience to wait for one year plus, I wouldn't order one.

Hope this helps!

I was one of the first people around here to get mine (ordered two). Depending on the type of SKS, they can be a breeze to install or a nightmare, but the stock itself is well made and very solid. The only problem I've had is with the top cover that opens for reloading on fixed mag SKS', which has a tendency to pop open randomly when shooting. If you have a detachable mag then it's best to either remove the cover or glue/wield it shut.

The current wait times on these stocks is insane, and the price is about 50% higher than when they first came out, but if you're looking for a bullpup SKS than this is the best option (although there are others, like CBRPS).

I put off ordering one of these but as of the last few weeks they have caught up significantly on orders. I believe they are about 6-7months behind on orders now. The timeline of shipping updates posted on their fb page indicates the Jan 2012 orders should be going out soon as they are caught all the way up through 2011.

I ordered mine in late April 2012,..and it looks like I'll be getting it either by the end of Sept or by mid Oct....Orders are complete through 31Mar2012, so the wait time is quite a bit shorter.

So whats the trigger like on them?

^What this guy said. I did a trigger job before hand so the break is REALLY clean, only about 1mm of creep.

Just got my kit today.....put it on my 1952 russian.......every mod and trim that it said i might have to do, needed to be done.....3 hrs later its awesum......the balance is so good that u can shoulder it with one hand. And as far as sling points, i used the stock sks front one and the stock rear one.....if u take the rear one off the russian stock, the bolt holes are a perfect match for the two bolt holes that hold on the extended mag release bracket. Im in jersey so i have to retain the fixed mag, therefore those holes are unused anyway......score +1

On a crappier note......one of the threaded brass inserts thats pressed in the plastic had stripped, on the trigger pivot linkage.....the company is sending me a new main stock body to repair the problem but that means i gota do the build all over again......its functional as is but ill never be able to dissasemble it and reassemble. It again

Ordered mine on the 29th of April and received it on the 3rd of October. Overall, the stock is engineered very well. The way they isolated the foregrip/gas tube connection point with steel/wood to hold the front part of the rifle to the plastic stock was done nicely....I don't think they could have done that better unless they used a ceramic material instead of wood to isolate the plastic from the heat. They should have used wood in the other locating point toward the chamber also...Or at least made the rib that the metal inserts are connected to a lot thicker. I had to file the stock in some areas...The diagonal guard part of the pistol grip section and the wood in the top handguard section(this section called out for that...do this very slowly as you don't want the cover to fit loosely in that area). Also, on the inside top front guard at the SKS upper gas tube locking lever...The lever interferes with the cover on that side. There are small gaps here and there, but the stock holds the rifle very tightly...especially in front. The back of the rifle that gets locked in place by the trigger housing was pretty tight also, but I thought it could be better and used some silicone to bed that area so there is no chance of vibration moving the receiver from side to side. I used a small shim in between the stock and the metal leg at the back of the receiver that locks the trigger housing in place for a tight front to back fit. I feel as though the stock could be done a little better as far as gaps/warping goes and some bulging which left some areas that needed filing...They should have Magpul do the next mold for them..It would fit better for sure. I didn't have any problems with the brass inserts stripping or getting pulled out...These need to be just snug tightened, but can be overtightened real easy with an allen wrench. The trigger adjustment system is done very well. The trigger on mine is as good as pulling the SKS trigger directly. I rounded the corners off the trigger that came with the stock for a more comfortable feel. The one thing that I think they blew the design on was the top cover over the receiver. It has just 2 points that hold it in place. A tab up front which works fine, but at the back they used a THIN 1/16 strip with a hole in it to hold it to the covers over the trigger housing with a removable pin. That strip should be at least an 1/8" to 1/4" thick and there is no reason why they couldn't have done that...someone on Youtube has broken theirs and it looks weak. I'll be reinforcing mine with metal and silicone, but will require a little work to open up the 2 trigger housing covers. The spring loaded cover for loading with stripper clips seems strong enough and looks like it would hold up...It looks sturdy.

Anyone not sure about purchasing should get one...It creates a whole new weapon as far as controllability goes...Mine will never go back in its wood stock.

Heres a big pointer for getting the back sight off on the SKS.....Someone on YTube had to use a drill or Dremel to remove one of the bosses that holds the sight in place...That's not the way to do that. The screw driver TRICK that SGW's used in the video was just that....Magic. The best and easiest way to get that off is to move the elevation slider to the 100 meter mark. Then lift the sight up but don't use a screw driver like in the SGW's video...You'll kill yourself trying to do it that way. Use a popsicle stick and place it in behind the sight. You'll have to trim the popsicle stick as it may be too wide. Once the stick is in place, drop the sight down back into its normal position. This will drop the bosses down from their locating position enough so that you can get a small round rod in from the side to wedge them down. One side at a time worked for me. Do to the curvature of the spring underneath the sight, it has a tendency to push the bosses forward out of the channel as you leverage the bosses down with the rod. Once the bosses are down and clear of the channel that holds them in place, you can now wiggle the sight out....Took less than 5min once I figured out what I needed to do....15mins and it was off with ease.
