I ordered a Timbersmith SKS stock from Hical.ca for my SKS. Fit and finish is 100% top notch. The stock is amazingly light compared to a regular birch stock that it replaced (maybe because it's laminate?). I put mine on an old Tula that I have. The ergonomics are fantastic and the thumbhole grip is like it was custom made for my hand.

Installation was a bit of a pain in the ass, mostly because I hadn't considered the possibility that my POSP mount would interfere with the stock. I had to chisel, X-acto knifo and sand out the area where the mount comes down onto the stock. Took me 2 hours to get it good enough where I could proceed with the installation, now I just need to re-laquer the affected area and it should be good. Also, if you order one you may want to consider sanding out the inside of the stock as it's a little rough. Something else to consider is that mine did not come with a bayonet cut, so you would need to either do that yourself or remove the bayonet.

It's hard to tell from the picture but I had to take a good 1/4" (or more) of material (depth) away from the stock to get it to the point where I could squeeze the mount down enough. If you don't have a POSP mount it won't be a problem.

How did the stock affect accuracy/point of impact (if at all)? It looks pretty comfortable with a lot better seat on the shoulder but also looks a bit hefty.
