ATI SKS stock
- Thread starter Ruger30-06
- Start date
Added two more pics
I finally broke down and installed the pin to make the ATI stock a folder. The instructions were not very instructive. I had to play with it until it finally worked. My wife (who is not a gunnut) thought it looked pretty neat. It does look cool however function I think might leave some to be desired. There is some movement in the stock after it has been extended which will probably slow down times in shooting games. But atleast I will look like an extra for starship troopers.

Just curious, does the ATI digital have the oversize release button on the top like the old ATI folders? It doesn't look like it has it in the pic.

Can't agree more Calum
ATI's are good for the money but my folder neded some bedding for my SKS D and it does become loose after a while. Adding some washes cut from an emptied beer can fixes the issue

What gives me pause for thought is the absence of a recoil lug in the ATI stocks.
This has to have some effect on accuracy in some way.
I can't tell right now as I krylon painted my ATI stock last year and it is pretty tight.

I just fitted a Choate folding stock to my SKS-D.
The word "fitted" is used loosely ...
The instructions that come with the Choate folder mention that DOZENS of armouries built the SKS, and dimensions vary from gun to gun. With my SKS-D action, the Choate stock opening is so long, that the front comes out of the barrel fitting when the back is tight.
Choate provides a little piece of plastic to put behind the rear of the receiver, to shim out this space, but 40 rds at the range shows that recoil beats out the stock and the reciver slides forward enough that the whole disgusting mess comes vomiting out.
To fix this, I will be dropping in a 3/16" fitted aluminum lug, which will bear between the front of the receiver, and the cutout in the stock. This will keep the action from sliding forward.
NOTE: this is NOT a recoil lug ... it is the exact oposite, placed at the FRONT of the receiver, to keep the action tight to the rear, and prevent it from sliding FORWARD!!.

Which is it's intended design...a lug (in this case bar) in place to prevent recoil from moving the action forward...hence recoil lug, for lack of a better word.
I'll have to take a look at my ATI stock later and see what molding or shape copies this feature...if any.
