Review is opinion of Surplusrifle.com
I stand around 6 foot and 3 inches in
height. The SKS length of pull for me is
rather short. Lately, I have thought
about replacing the wooden stock on
one of my SKS rifles with a longer
composite stock, to see if it is a better
fit. The SKS was not really designed
for someone of my size.
As an alternative, I have seen that
there are butt extension pads available
that can be purchased and added to
the existing SKS wooden stock without
modifying the rifle. The nomenclature
of the part is Recoil Pad for Chinese
SKS. I am really not looking to lesson the almost non-existent
recoil of the 7.62x39 in
