Straight up top notch service from start to finish including the price. Very prompt, always there on the phone when needed. Vlad completely understood what I was looking for and picked me out an almost completely matching 1950 Tula in already in the ATI stock that I wanted it in as I was looking for a quality shooter that could take some abuse. Great gun, fit, finish etc...The front site post was out of whack but that was the only issue. Got exactly what I asked for with the best of service. Shipping was prompt and proper and he even threw in the bayo (and stripper clips) that I asked for at no extra charge! I would recommend them every time and will shop there again.
PS: Great website too!
Over all rating....5 out of 5!
Great job West Rifle!
When you receive them, are they still soaked in cosmoline?
Edit :
Meh nvm, that was a dumb question, off course they are.
Mine is expected to be delivered on february 2 by the end of day.
Will write a complete review when I receive it (SKS with PU Scope for 490$ on Westrifle)

Wow I got a 1951 Tula! I am so happy!
What else can I say, it's perfect! I spent the day cleaning it, it was totally jammed like a car that was parked for 20 years. The bore is brand new, like a diamond, just like the rest. I love the star with the year marked on the stock. And the scope is perfect, exactly what I wanted.
I just hope the PU scope was installed right because I heard it can be installed wrong and you won't be able to zero your scope with your rifle?
I have faith in your work, it seems pretty well done.
I had high expectations and waiting 2 weeks was worth it. Thank you Westrifle.
Only detail I could point out is the lack of communication through phone and email.
But with such amazing stuff, why do you need to answer questions? I would order again from you if I have to.

I went to the range yesterday and .. Ugh... The first 30 rounds this beautiful stock broke.. The receiver was loose (I received it that way but didn't worry much unfortunately) and the scope mount teared a chunk appart on the stock.. I hate to be a bad customer and write bad stuff and I respect what you do alot, I am very thankful that you select premium SKS's for your customers but.. See for yourself
All I did since I received the rifle was remove cosmoline, oil it a little on the bolt parts and take it to the range. First 20-30 rounds, crack.
I'm wondering what should I do..? Keep it..? I'm worried the loose stock would eventually crack the whole stock, for now I shimed it but.. Should I have to shim a refurbed SKS? They didn't notice at the arsenal? Oh well...

Other than that, I still think this is the most beautiful rifle, my favourite of all time I have ever owned.. Gorgeous.
When installing the scope mount you have to remove about an 1/8 more material around the scope mount for recoil. My buddy did the same thing and cut the stock perfect for the mount, he used weld bond wood glue and glued the piece back to the stock. After the repair he removed a little more wood around the mount and it has stood up to many thousands of rounds with no issue. Looking at the mount it was fitted to tight to the stock, this is just my opinion but i've installed many receiver scope mounts on SKS rifles.

The wood chunk flew somewhere and I never found it, there was alot of fluffy snow everywhere, I looked but it was impossible to find.
I didn't do the job, I received it from Westrifle that way. That's why I would like either a refund, a new one or something because now the stock is kinda ugly with that big wood chunk missing in the back.
I sent them an email this weekend and see if they answer next week. I like Westrifle, they are a good company and love how you can select your SKS. They have premium quality SKS's, much better than the ones they sell at my hunting shop where I live and would like to do business again with them in the future for ammo, maybe other milsurp guns and probably another SKS that I would select for my own personal taste. Mistakes happen and I'm not mad at them, as long as we can work something out.

Westrifle is a great company and I'm sure they will try to help you out. There are a lot of take off stocks out there, so finding another shouldn't be to hard. They do sell some very nice condition SKS's at Westrifle.
