stupid question re: Tapco T6 SKS stock

[Goozyman]

ok, please be easy on me with this one...
are these 100% legal in Canada?
im not sure what measurements need to be taken to be legal, and how does the law relate to a retractible stock?

Non issue...even with the stock totally collapsed, the gun is well over the 26"...

If you need measurements I can take some tonight...I'm willing to bet the gun is over the 26" without the stock and only the pistol grip attached.

The only concern with the T6 stock is finding them...you can buy from SKSman in the US but there it is a murky grey legal area as to whether they are legal for export from the US.

Without the adjustable stock and only the pistol grip attached, the gun's overall length is just under 31" and with the complete stock in its shortest position us just over 39"

I could not find a dealer in Canada at all and could only find one in the USA that would a) sell for a competitive price and b) not ship to Canada so I picked 2 of them up in Buffalo. I've got an old friend there who receives things for me if I need it. I declared them re-entering Canada and they didn't ask me any questions. I was on my way in less than 2 mins.

I've got to say they're not all that they're cracked up to be, I think you'll find the sks is a better weapon in the conventional stock.

Bought this Tapco couple of years ago before they got hard to get.Gun shoots alright, but you still can`t beat the stock version as mentioned,but hey, it`s nice to have a good mix .

I like the T6. With the addition of a Tapco gas tube they do become more front heavy, but overall the length of pull is much better. The wood stock isn't bad but I find T6s to be comfortable.

 

[Goozyman]

i want it because the stock it came with is way too short

Find one of the one or two inch bolt on recoil pads. Easier,and less expensive way to get a longer LOP.
