I would like to offer some help, but first I want to express my opinion: NYET! Rifle is fine!
With that out of the way, I have found it helpful to soak parts with penetrating oil for several hours first and then
use a screwdriver bit that is in good shape and the right size with a wrench for torque, on the bayonet screw.
And a high quality pin driver with a two pound hammer on the securely clamped handguard pin.
 
The handguard: start the pin by using a tapered center punch on the small side of the pin to start it. The bayo: we use a hammer & impact driver, you can use a hammer & tap the screwdriver while turning the screw. Congratulations on winning the stock in our contest! Post a pic when done. Dave.
 
Ok I screwed up badly....

Couldn't make the pin move so I broke the wood.. but its fine I don't care

As for the bayonnet ....I tried to drill the other side but its cambered so I drilled the flat head screw side... so yeah now I cant even remove the ####ing piece of #### screw ..

I seriously need help as I don't know what to do. I am not really good in manual work and I dont have many tools

Try filing the end of the bayonet screw in order to make a flat spot and then drill it out. It sounds as if you won't have a drill press which means
that you will have to be pretty good with a drill free hand, which you may not be. Got any friends who are?

I guess you may have already done all the drilling you need to do if you have a hole that goes all the way thru the screw
so that you have weakened the screw along it's entire length. Now get an ''Easy out'' which is a kind of tool that you put
into the hole you drilled and the sharp ridges or reverse threading will grip the sides of the hole while you use a wrench to
twist it out. Alternatively, just use a bigger drill bit and drill all the screw out, you are not going to want to have that bayonet
on anymore anyhow, now that you have a super duper Sabertooth.

When working with metal/guns, always remember, take it slow, dont get upset, cuz thats when bad thngs happen. if you feel you are getting pissed off WALK AWAY before you damage something and it costs you money. Always youtube what you want to do first so you can see if you can even do it yourself. If you arent a handy kind of guy, just admit it and go see a gunsmith. No shame in that. Better than seing a nice gun ruined by amateur frustration.
 
Yeah I understand actually I'm a handy guy but not with metal like you say. I like to work wood and have no experience with metal in any sort. I watched a lot of video on youtube but for them it was easy, the screw was just unscrewing without effort of any kind. I love my guns way too much to ruin them so yeah gunsmith time.
 
FINALLY I DID IT!

Even the gunsmith had difficulty doing it lol.

what an adventure for a gun nooby like me !

Pro:
-It look fantastic
-Pretty solid and well constructed
-finish is perfect
-Use AR part (buttstock and pistol grip)

Cons
-Really hard to install ( for me )
-Cannot use iron sight
-Mags fit really tight but with time they will loosen
-Should have use ak mag

Overall I'm really happy and I hope you guys will sell a lot because its fantastic and its nice to have the name you chosen on it! The guys at range wont believe me :p

If you don't already have a sks I think its not really worth it though . You should go for Cz-858

If you already have a sks this stock is really nice! for a little bit more than tapco you get a sturdy and quality stock that will last a life time and you don't get that cheap plastic feel
