Hello all
I just bought an ATI folding SKS stock from Lever. The stock moves around action bed a little, I used a small piece a cleaning rag to steady it. Has this happen to anyone else? And how did you fix it?
Thanks
Jamie
 
I put an ATI Draganov on my SkS-D and the stopers on the side were about 3/16's short so the rifle was moving that much in there. What I did was to figure out where that square metal bar that was built in the original stock was in relation to the body of the stock and put a similar device in my Draganov stock. I managed to measure perfectly and with the new stoper in place, the rifle feels and shoots marvelous.

What I used was one of those inch and a half long nuts from Home Depo and two flat screws. I measured and marked where the wholes where going to be, drilled and countersinked the hole so that the screw heads would be flash with the stock and then I screw them both into the long nut.

The nut having all those flat surfaces acts as the square bar in the original stock. I am very pleased with the results.

If you need more details, I could take pictures and email them to you. Too bad we can't up load pictures here.
 
Hey thank you, Declan, if you could send me pictures that would be awesome. Ithink thats the problem it just moves ever so slightly up and down and front to back a hair.
 
The cross bolt in teh stock, i would definately agree with. Nother thing you could do is place a rubber washer or shim behind or around the spring on the bottom of your stock where your trigger group locks in. I put a shim like that in my SKS's reguardless; it just seems to tighten them up all round, kinda like the new accu-wedges they're putting in the C7's.
