On my SKS Russia with Tapco SKS stock with rail ?

thanks

thanks
 
I don't have a UTG rail hand guard but from the pictures it looks like you would have to leave the original gas tube cover on. The gas tube cover from a tapco stock has the picatinny rail on top which looks like it would prevent the hand guard from sitting flush on the rifle. That is the only thing I can see preventing that from operating correctly. Other than that the UTG mounts to the barrel so the rest of the tapco stock wouldn't interfere.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that an sks in the second product shot in the link to the ad, that should be your answer right there. Compare the forend of the tapco stock to the original sks stock for size and do what you gotta do in regards to the gas tube rail on the tapco and it might fit.
 
I ordered the UTG Quad rail but i have an other question... On my gas tube on my tapco stock.. i have a rail..... and on my original wood gas tube i don't have a rail... both is not the same height...

Is it a problem for put the quad rail ?

Yes, like I said previously, this will more than likely be an issue but I wouldn't worry about it. Can always go back to the wood or fab the tapco handgaurd. Lots of options. That hand rail is going to cover everything anyway

Yeah, as long as you still have your original wood handguard, you could always just switch back to that if the quad rail wont fit over the tapco one.
