Russian VS Chinese SKS Butt Stock

there is no significant difference. The chinese copied the Russian design.
You can make a spacer out of wood, screw it to the butt, and put a slip on recoil pad over the whole works. Of course, that might not be enough in your case. It definitely makes them easier to aim when you go through the effort.

Just checked my Chinese and Russian. If there's a difference, it's miniscule. As far as I know, the only stock SKS with a longer butt stock is the Yugoslavian M59/66 which has a rubber recoil pad on it to help with the recoil that comes from firing rifle grenades.
I am also tall (6'5) and the recoil pad on my Yugo is quite helpful. Problem for you will be finding a Yugo, and finding one for cheap. Not exactly easy.
The hole for the cleaning rod is already drill from the factory.
For the bayonet, that's another story... One of my friend did it for me cauz honestly I don't have the skills and equipement to do that. He made a jig and slot it on the router. He told me that was pretty easy to do
The problem is you must be very gentle with how much material you remove at the time. At the end, the stock is very thin at some places and it will be prone to crack into these areas. Take a look at the factory stock, there is pins that are *press-fit + glued* into drilled holes in the front part of the stock. I think those pins help alot to keep the stock together ( read not cracking )Here's the link if you want more infos...
