IMO, any aftermarket stock for the SKS out there are total garbage. Adding anything aside from a 10 or 20 round fixed mag is a waste of money and will hurt the value.
I have 7 SKS rifles at the moment and all of them are bone stock. I went through a terrible ordeal modifying a Yugo and it was a time I wish I could take back.
I have one that came with a Choate stock when I bought it. After re fitting, it is very solid. I wouldn't call it junk. If it was, I would've gotten a wooden SKS stock for it. I've never used a Tapco before though.

Thanx but if I were to re-stock an SKS, prolly still go with the Choate stocks. The SKS is ugly enough by itself and a Tapco stock just doesn't help in that department at all. I don't plan on using "rails", pistol grips or removable mags so I don't really need a Tapco stock, although they are of very good quality.

If you weren't such a turd...:P On a more important note, it looks pretty good on my Norinco with the Choate muzzle device. Balance is really nice and LOP is about perfect.
I gotta talk at yah today after work. You gonna be around about 5pm your time? If so either call me or I'll call you.

I thought the Tapco looked better than most and I really liked how it pointed and how light it was. If I ever get back into messing with my SKSs I think I will set one up with the Tapco.

Maybe that Tech-Sight too huh? It was good talkin and meetin with yah.
The Tapco to me made my SKS feel more like the battle rifle it was designed to be.

Actually, Yours looks pretty good with the wood handguard.

If I keep both of my rifles then one will be scoped and the other will be wearing a Tech-Site. Yes, I was real impressed with that also. Being a US mil-surp collector I favor the peep style sights anyway. That and the much longer sight plane is a huge improvement. One at a time though. - haha.....

I hear that. My next project is putting a scope on that Mosin M38 Carbine with that Jmeck scope mount. I'm stoked.
