Does anyone have a SKS with a synthetic stock?

I was wondering if anyone has a SKS with a synthetic stock? I would just like to see what it would look like?

Tex in Maine · 11-20-2007, 06:51 PM

what type of stock, I have what they call the dragonov style stock..

gunney_m · 11-20-2007, 06:53 PM

I think a folding, but if you have a picture it would be fine.

I had a folding on mine. It was sorta ok. I like my Tapco telescoping more though

What I didn't like about the folding is that it was slightly too long to be comfortable with my arm length. Right now that stock is on my Dad's.

My SKS when it had the folding stock on it.

Nice.

jmp8927 · 11-20-2007, 07:39 PM

Personally, I don't really like the folding stock. The main reason is that the muzzle rises more because of the way the stock slopes downward.

gunney_m · 11-20-2007, 07:54 PM

Ok, do you know where to get a stock for a Mosin or 24/7?

jmp8927 · 11-20-2007, 07:59 PM

Nope. Sorry man. I don't have either, so I haven't looked into them.

gunney_m · 11-20-2007, 08:02 PM

*amn, I want to get a Mosin or a SKS or a Hi-Point for the price, Mosin definatly for the caliber.

jmp8927 · 11-20-2007, 08:59 PM

I was thinking about a Mosin myself a bit back because I needed a hunting rifle, but then one of my friend's Dad had a Remington 742 he wanted to get rid of and I got that instead. I might grab a Mosin later though...be really cool to have.

gunney_m · 11-20-2007, 09:01 PM

Yeah it would at Classic Arms for $79 and has a great finish on the stock, you should check it out.

Tex in Maine · 11-20-2007, 09:29 PM

most of the stuff on classic arms isn't too bad but that silver spray painted underfold ak is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, I used to work at a jewelry store as a goldsmith and did electroplating and if anything ever came out that bad I would toss it and start over..

gunney_m · 11-20-2007, 09:33 PM

Hmm, I liked it but anyways I think I might just get the Hi-Point, do you know anything about the ammo?

hi-points come in 9mm and .40 S&W same as the handgun.

Thanks, Thought it was fitting

I don't have a folding stock, but I do have one with a Tapco T6 adjustable. I really prefer the adjustable, simply because it can conform to different shooter's needs.

Cheaper Than Dirt has a synthetic Monte Carlo stock for under $50 that you can just drop your SKS into. Here is the link:

SKS-540 - SKS Monte Carlo Stock Black Handguard, Recoil Pad - Manufactured by: Advanced Technology

One of my SK's came with the side folding stock. It was not as steady as the wood stock so I removed it.

I bought some Polish Laminated honor guard stocks and put one on. It has the same lines as the military stock but is overall quite unique. It has layers of light and dark wood. The SK is a heck of weapon, inexpensive, low recoil, reasonably accurate and cheap to shoot. I think ammo can be up to 20 cents a round these days.

For accurate shooting I would pass on the side folders and look for something else.
