I picked it up mostly just to get rid of the item I have for trade fodder. My only gripe is that it is in a Chinese, camo painted phenolic stock. It looks okay, but I think it would give better value and look even better in a wood stock. Unfortunately, as we all know, decent Romanian stocks are hard to come by. (if you have one hit me up  :)  )
I am wondering, from those of you who are more in the know on Romy SKSs, if this stock would be a decent match or not. Here is a pic of the stock and then pics of the Romy. LMK what y'all think.























My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

I think that Chinese stock is a decent replacement and a big step up from the current stock. Color on the Romanians is often darker and more reddish but there is still quite a broad color range and I think that one fits within it.

Overall, the guts look great the Chinese stock plausible. If that HG is laminate and you're not attached to it, I'm pretty sure I have one that will match. Text me if you're interested in a swap Alan. Nice save. PAX

So, I did not buy that stock for the Romanian. Instead I picked up a plastic stock for my bubba'd Chinese that I am setting up for hunting. I then took the OEM wood stock off of it and am using it on the Romanian. It is an unnumbered, threaded action stock with blade cutout, but the bayonet slot was filled in. I poked around at it and realized it would come out easily and clean. Fits well and I just need to find a matching HG for it, which I am hoping to work out a trade with echo1 on. Here's a quick pic of it
