Ah, so you are Mick from over on the other SKS boards. I thought that was you, lol.
You know, I am a firm believer in "if it works well for you then it works, period". I also am a firm believer in "what works for one person is not necessarily another person's cup of tea".
Having said that, which I hadn't commented on the other boards, is my main issue with this set up is that the SKS if front heavy enough without adding another pound to it out on the front of the rifle. My own opinion, naturally.
Glad it works for you.
