Filling the gap

[Expendable Nate]

just curious what would be the best way to fill the slot in my SKS stock for the bayonet? im looking to make it look half decent. though it doesnt need to blend in perfectly.

Wood filler? That might be a solution.

It looks good the way it is comrade ! Bayonet is good for when no ammo on hand ! Deal with this nasty creatures !

In my opinion it would look best not filled in. Wouldnt really be any way to make that look good.

Fill it in by attaching the bayonet in the closed position.

Hahaha^^^ I agree, though if I was going to fill it I would glue in a wood patch that sat proud. Then sand flush, strip and re stain & shellac. Bet it would hide nicely, but I'd never do that cause the bayonet is one part of the sks I like a lot.

Fill with accuraglass and stifen up the fore end

Thank you Zuke for valuable info. And to all the rest I had never thought of using the bayonet !!! The reason I wanted to fill it was I want to mount a bipod. Hmm that bayonet might get in the way

use the bayonet as your monopod, that's one other reason for having it there. by filling in the slot it becomes butchered more.

you just said you planned on putting a pipod on that mount. they will both place pressure on the barrel
