Does anyone own one of these stocks for their SKS? Ive been doing some reasearch and apparantly the 6 position stocks, their paint peels off pretty quick.

Ive been looking at the ACU stock here.

Marstar has them for $129. If anyone has one of these stocks (doesnt have to be ACU). currently on their SKS please give me a little review of it, whether if there was any problems with it, paint peeling.
 
Hey, that's pretty cool looking. :)

Also unless the paint is part of the plastic, then any painted stock has a chance of slight paint chipping.
No biggie, it's just the nature of the beasty.
 
A.T.I. side folder

I own one, and never fired my sks-d with it, but I noticed that after taking my tool apart several time with that stock that it becomes loose:bsFlag::bangHead: . You know what's next , accuracy:eek: .I've done the same with the Tapco stock, and never encontered this problem:D .
 
If you are looking for a a nice Monte Carlo, I would recommend the Butler Creek stock, thats what I have on my SKS. They are harder to find than the ATI Monte Carlo stock, but the construction of the stock seems more sturdy.

Both Wholesale Sports and S.I.R. carry it.

Here we go again...:rolleyes:

IMO there is nothing wrong with the 7.62x39 cartridge for hunting...
1) Practice your shot placement
2) Use soft point bullets.
3) Hunt within the capabilities of you, your rifle, and the cartridge.
 
I plan on possibly using my SKS for grouse hunting, nothing like a challenge.

Not to mention a cheap plinker as well.

In the thick bush on a running deer where shots are no more than 50 yards, I don't see a problem at all, my buddy took two last year at that distance with fast quick kills. I use my 308 for all other hunting situaltions.

If the shooter and SKS can consistently hit a target at range then fine! Nothing wrong with the cartridge at all.

Its like that for any caliber. Dont shoot a 338LM (example only) if you cant consistently hit the target.

Something chambered in 338LM is guarenteed to be a better shooter then a SKS.

Its true.

I have no problem if the shooter can hit his targets well with an SKS. but MORE LIKELY THEN NOT, the SKS isnt exactly a tack driver.

I would bet my life that my tikka will outshoot anyones SKS. Its simple, a rifle built specifically for hunting will be better then the SKS unless its a 710! ;)

Your Tikka will also outshoot a 30-30, yet the 30-30 has put down more deer than you can count. A rifle is only as good as the person using it, so comparing a SKS to a Tikka is a moot point. If hunting was as easy as sitting at a solid bench, shooting at non-moving objects then maybe you could actully compare each rifles ability, but since this is not the case, and shots are fired off hand and at most times at a moving target, then its the ability of the shooter and not the actual firearm he/she is using that makes all the difference. So wither you shoot a $150 SKS or a $800 Tikka is of no consequence if the person holding the rifle has little abilitiy.

you are ALL missing my point.

I have NO problems whatsoever hunting with an SKS. T

I've hunted with my Norc M14.

ITS the simple fact that MOST SKS are not accurate enough and coupled with shooter ability make lousy hunting rifles.

Now, there are good shooting SKSers out there, but as calum stated as long as you hunt within the rifle's and your own capabilities you will be fine.

WHAT im trying to say as, a hunting rifle would make a much better choice for hunting. The thurdy-thurdy is built around hunting rifles ;)
 
Also don't forget that the SKS is a rifle designed for use against targets that are shooting back at you, and Deer don't do this, ergo, the SKS is more then capable as a hunting rifle...keep the bayonet on just in case of a Bear Defence situation. :p

Wouldnt have it any other way :D
 
I have a similar stock from Ati

I have that stock I bought last week from districorp in Montreal for 70.00. . I found that the injection molding leaves ridges of plastic which makes the stock very uncomfortable. I sanded these down for a more comfortable ie pain free fit. I did not install the device to allow the stock to fold. It was included however I felt that I would rather have a firmer stock then this option.

Installation was simple the only difference from a regular stock was the gas piston needed to be installed before the gun was put in the stock not after. Little weird.

Had on the range today. Accuracy was about the same as the regular stock. 1 inch 25 yards (I should have kept that target because nobody believes that an sks can hit the broad side of a barn.) 4 inches at 100 yards. I had widened the sight out a lot for faster sight acquistion.

Overall I liked it quite a bit with the minor modifications that I made. I found shot to shot recovery pretty fast. Unfortunately I did not bring along my stock sks to make a side by side comparison but overall I was happy with the purchase and will definitely use it in 3 gun matches this summer.
