No idea the make, but here is a pic of the SKS.
The LOP is short(for me)...about 14.5". Getting down lower is almost impossible. It takes a good minute or two to find a cheekweld.
I'm leaning towards a folding stock. With the muzzle break already attached, the gun would be 30" folded, making it California legal.

27That's an ATI stock. Used one for awhile, went back to my original- don't remember exactly why, other than I liked the look of the original better. Not sure that the original stock would be terribly different than the ATI.
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
29Could someone measure the LOP of their wood-stock SKS? Butt to trigger...and please let me know how thick your buttpad is (if any).
I would really like an SKS with a wood stock and just noticed that there are rubber pads up to 2" long. That might be enough LOP for me.
I'm not sure I want to tacticool this SKS, as I already have an AR in the same caliber and it's going to outperform the sks. I might just end-up selling the thing, rather than sink more money modding it than it's worth.
Just thinking out loud.

30Wood is good man. Go original before you decide to sell it. With that and the Monte Carlo, you'll probably be able to sell it for more than what you paid anyway if you decide you don't like it.
I'll measure mine here in a bit.

Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
31I can measure it when I get home. Ahead of time, I do have a 1 inch buttpad on mine.
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
32Is that the one I tried to shoot and couldn't even get on the paper with?I'll measure mine here in a bit.
I remember that one requiring more of a temple weld than a cheek weld. Even when I jammed down hard, the front sight looked like it was an inch above the rear dovetail.
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
33I don't think I brought my SKS out to any of the meets- just the VZ-58- which is similar in cheek weld. Definitely need to turkey neck a bit and get your alignment right. No problem for me, but I've been shooting it for a long, long time now.
11" back from the end of the receiver, and 2" down on a straight line from the top of the receiver.

Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
34Actually- you might be right now that I think about it- back when I was first trying out the peep/firesight combo perhaps when we met at the indoor range?
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
35It was at the indoor range, but it was a post and square dovetail. I felt totally stupid trying to shoot whatever it was.
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
36Must have been the VZ. I've had the peep/firesight combo on the SKS for over a year now.
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
37My current stock is nearly 2" longer than that one.
Sigh...I might just sell it.

Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
38Oh...and thanks for digging out your sks and snapping a pic!
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
39You should play hooky on Friday and go shooting with me. I'll bring my SKS so you can see how it feels. I have pretty long arms and it works well for me, but my noggin isn't quite the same size.
Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
41Hey Senorgrand, since Shinzen already measured his SKS, do you need me to give you a measurement too?

Re: my sks doesn't fit...a range report
45I decided not to try and hammer a round peg into a square hole and will sell the SKS and put the money towards further mods to my AR. Thanks for all your help!
