sks tapco stock

They are strong and solid, but kind of ugly. For LOP adjustment and pistol grip, they work for me. The rail on the upper handguard is a POS, no good for anything. HiCal is selling the Archangel SKS stock. I think they look much nicer, but I haven't used one.
I found the tapco worked fine. The sks went into it without too much hassle, felt comfortable enough to hold. I did have a few small cons for it though.
It made it feel very muzzle heavy, and i found that even though the wood stock was heavier it felt much better balanced.
The other pain is that you need to remove the pistol grip to get out the trigger group to take it apart, this isn't a dealbreaker, just annoying.
It only comes with a straight tube for the buttstock (the 10/22 tapco comes with a straight and an angled) and i found i really had to press my face down hard to align the sights, though friends who also shot it didn't have the same problem, but after emailing tapco they sent me an angled tube as well.

Tapco DOES have a cut out for the bayo.... I felt like it was lighter. A little less balanced.... THAT IS BECAUSE your prolly going to put an interchangeable mag... When really you hand is supposed to be there... IE why the mags in originals are so small.. The butstock feels very solid, it looks a lot better then most after market stuff I think. As for having to take of the pistol grip it is literally one more tool and 2 extra min on cleaning your rifle... Really not that bad... It was very easy to install but if you don't have TOOLS then the gas tube cover is a PAIN lol... You can allways just buy one instead of changing the cover of the original....Pic of mine.
