I had the ATI stock, it wobbled side to side when locked open. ATI stuff is usually poorly made (had a ATI lee enfield scope mount part ways with the rifle and my buddy got an eyeball of scope). I would pay the extra money and get a Choate stock. Choate makes a high quality product.
 
Ina ll honesty, I've tried almost every damned SKS stock out there in my beginning years of shooting, and I find the wooden stock to be the best. There isn't much point in trying to make the SKS into something its not. You really just end up throwing away money.
 
Thanks for you all. Choate seems the way to go. BTW, The two on ebay are not folding stock. I agree that the original wood stock should suit the gun best; however, I want to be able to pack it on my backpack by using a folding stock.
 
from an aesthetic point of view, i like the choate... I cant stand the bend in the ATI.

Which one gives an overall shorter length, and which is lighter? Looks aside, if i were in the market for a folder it take he shorter one if its going in a backpack.
