Same idea as wooden stock, everything is held together by the receiver/trigger group. You can switch into the wooden stock basically within 1 minute. The lower part is full metal and the upper part is just laid into it and connected as described, very sturdy, a bit heavy though.

it's a beauty indeed, I love the looks !
I didn't do it, there is a lot of work included, lots of welding and bending. Was done by a gunsmith with too much time on his hand.
These conversions were attempted by a few CGNers in the past, maybe 6-7 years ago, when there where plenty of cheaper SKS Ds and no VZ58/858. I believe, Kasat had made a whole bunch of them and I bought one. Basically a very heavy SKS D.
I have several SKS and also a CZ-858 and CSA carbine. This one is unique in my opinion since the receiver portion is much bigger than the CZ series, so I like it. I could never do something like that, there is so much work included, so for me it's a keeper.
It's heavy but not as heavy as a Mini 14 target.

i can see alot of work put into that SKS-D , the result is not bad but my fav would be the one below .
Here's mine. I sold it years ago and got me an 858.
The folding stock one seems to be like a totally different concept. I wonder how it is holding together. I can see a big bolt on the lower front.
Curtton is correct, when taking it apart, you can see that a lot of hours went into it, there is nothing even inside which looks cheaply made or a compromise. It's just the mating area between upper and lower which doesn't look nice but that is only close up.

It looks very much like one of Kalashnikov's early AK prototypes! See "Kalashnikov: The Arms and the Man" pages 70-76

That thing is the tits. Love those conversions. From something that everybody has to something nobody has. Very cool. My fave is still that green SKS/CETME conversion from a few years back...
