Another plug for Lucky Shot Wood Stocks.I sent Rick the mag well from my Thumbhole Sporter so he could fit it to the original design type buttstock.I got it back today and the barreled action was a nice,snug drop-in fit.My thanks go to @ owenj492 for inspiring me to get it done.I really didn't want to go the synthetic route on this one.The original thumbhole it came with was literally unshootable due to lack of drop and the monte carlo cheek piece pushing my face even further away preventing even a remote chance of any cheekweld whatsoever.If you need a good wood stock for yer SKS I think Rick does really good work.

Looks great! What wood did you go with!
Cherry sir. I came damn close to throwing the box and packaging away until my wife discovered the matching upper handguard a few minutes ago. :o
Nice looking, BZ thumb1.
Great looking shootin' iron.
Tell us about that muzzle device.
It's just a Kalashnikov style slant brake for that poser look. ::) chuckles1
Hey, glad you like it! Rick O'Brien has a website now, if anyone is interested, he does AK stocks and other firearms also:
https://www.luckyshotwoodstocks.com
I closed my Etsy account, and by request he sent me the website for future business.
Thank you for the heads up.

How does it attach?
With a set screw.
good looking stock, guy did good. thumb1
I'm happy with it,pulls up nice to my face.
I have to admit, that's a nice looking stock. If I ever come across another AK-mag converted SKS with the thumbhole stock, I'd be very inclined to use one of his stock sets.
Man, I bet you were happy to have found that matching handguard before it got tossed out with the box! smack1

I was!Much to my surprise.Everything matches now and I can now get a good sight picture.
That is, by far, the best looking Bubba SKS I have ever seen.
Thanks.It's a little understated.Sometimes less is more.I haven't decided what to do about the rear sling swivel eg. side,bottom or just a stud.I'd like to keep an original commie theme and not go overly tacticool.

That’s exactly why I like it. Just modernized enough but retains the overall classic SKS look. Good job to you, well done.

That stock is absolutely beautiful! I may be stating the obvious, but if you're using an extended mag, wouldn't a side-mounted sling swivel make it easier to carry?
This is the sling I picked up for my SKS. It's the real deal...
