[ben777lemay]

Finally, i'm almost done with this project...
-1955/56 Tula all match #
-Timbersmith Monte-Carlo stock with custom slot for the bayonet
-Techsight TS200
-Tapco front post
-Bolt buffer from Techsight
-5 rounds Promag mag
-5/20 rounds Tapco mag
-Wolf spring kit ( 2 )
-Polished upper bolt + bayonet
-Tapco extended mag release

Now I need to sight this thing and shoot different kind of ammo.
The middle sight is still there, I will try to align the 3 sights...

Techsights is a gr8 upgrate but I was impress by how much the wolf spring kit reduce the trigger pull weight... I dry fired it with snaps-caps...

Enjoy and let me know what you think !!!

Special thanks to Dave @ www.hical.ca

With different light...

I was getting an eye roll all ready.

Was surprised to see a tasteful SKS. Well done.

Nice. Where did you get the stock? ...and the 5 rd mag? The wife is away on an Army course and I'd love to suprize her by fixing up her Tula

 

[hunterinthewoods]

That is one handsome stock.
Hical has those mags in stock.

 

[ciphery]

Very nice stock. Kind of like a master pattern laminate stock. LoL

 

[Dench]

I like how it looks with the short mag.

Beautiful stock. Where did you get it by chance?

My stock is from www.Hical.ca
I think its not on the site but he can order any Tapco/Timbersmith stuff.

Oh and the mag too is from Dave.

Did the mag need to be modified to work with the standard sks?

Sometimes the Tapco mag is a tight fit in a factory stock.
If its too tight, all you need is a file and/or sandpaper to remove just a little bit of wood in your stock.
Takes about 5-10 minutes of your time.

After that, you just need to remember to open the bolt to insert or remove the mag.

I did not fired the 5 rounds Promag mag yet.
I would say the fit is very similar to the Tapco mag in my Timber stock.

My tapco fits without issue, I found I had to file the promag a bit.

That stock is beautiful. I really don't need to buy one... but I sure want to.

Nicely surprised, I was expecting a plastic Tapco stock.

Classy looking sks.

Question about the tapco mags; when empty do they still lock the action open so as to allow loading with stripper clips still?

 

[mcpiper]

Very nice, you did exactly the same mods I was considering for my tula last year. The longer/better sight picture and a North American length stock would make this a nice 100 yd whitetail set up.

They sure do.
