Tapco Timbersmith stocks

[636andy636]

Any of them make it into Canada yet? Just got a 54 Tula and seen these wonderful stocks and was wondering who sold or will be selling them in Canada/

I'm interested in one as well. They look really good.

Any dealers here looking to stock them?

Fabsports has the left handed model, but they're the only ones I see in stock on their site.

I wrote Hi Cal and they quoted me $199 for the one pictured below (taxes extra I'm guessing). Also, its a pre-order sort of thing, where you pay up front then it takes 5-6 weeks to receive.

There was an SKS in the EE this morning with one of the thumb hole stocks.



I gotta say though... I love the regular SKS stock as well. It's just a nice rifle, au natural.

What is the LOP (length of pull) on the timbersmith stocks compared to the original stock?

They added about an inch, and there's a built in recoil pad. You can see the regular and Timbersmith stocks compared here:

Though there's a built up cheek rest, the overall comb of the Timbersmith stock seems to dip lower, so cheek position is about normal for the SKS I think; just based on what I'm seeing in the above video. This should also make it a little easier to firm up the butt against the shoulder.
